The display of the Schenker VIA 14 is a 14.0" Full-HD IPS non-glare display. With a screen diagonal of 14 inches and a screen-to-body ratio of 82 percent, the VIA 14 offers a balanced compromise between visible area and portability and is unbeatable in mobile use. The Schenker VIA 14 is powered by a battery with an impressive capacity of 91 watt-hours. The additional use of efficient components, such as a power-efficient processor and graphics processor, enables the laptop to last well beyond one working day in mobile operation. With over 15 hours of runtime when browsing and around 12 hours of video playback, the Schenker VIA 14 offers enough power for users to stay away from the socket. As for input and output ports, the slim Schenker VIA 14 comes with a surprisingly wide variety of external interfaces, including an HDMI output and three USB ports, one of which is a Type-C slot with power delivery support. The latter also outputs a DisplayPort signal and thus enables the connection to an additional external monitor. In conclusion, the Schenker VIA 14 is a slim, lightweight, power-saving laptop with decent performance. It has a mid-range price point, which is suitable for business or professional users who need a portable but still powerful laptop.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Intel UHD Graphics 620: Integrated GPU (GT2, 24 EUs) found on some Kaby-Lake-Refresh CPU models (15 W ULV series). Technically identical to the previous Kaby-Lake GPU called HD Graphics 620.

Intel Iris Xe G7 80EUs: Integrated graphics card in Intel Tiger Lake G7 SoCs based on the new Gen. 12 architecture with 80 EUs (Execution Units / Shader Cluster). The clock rate depends on the processor model. The Tiger Lake chips are produced in the modern 10nm+ process at Intel.

AMD Radeon 780M: Integrated graphics card in the Ryzen 7040 mobile series APUs based on the RDNA3 architecture with 12 CUs (= 768 shaders) and a clock speed of up to 3 GHz.

Intel Comet Lake:

i5-10210U: Comet Lake based low power quad-core processor (technically identical to Whiskey Lake and still produced in 14nm++). The CPU cores can clock between 1.6 and 4.2 GHz (all 4 cores 3.9 GHz max.) with HyperThreading (8 threads). The integrated memory controller supports LPDDR4-2933 and using cTDP up/down the performance can be adjusted by the OEM (10 - 25 Watt possible, 15W default). Compared to the faster i5-10510U, the level 3 cache was reduced from 8 to 6 MB.

Intel Tiger Lake:

i5-1135G7: A quad-core, mid-range processor of Tiger Lake product family designed for use in ultra-light laptops. The i5 is manufactured on Intel's second-gen 10 nm process marketed as SuperFin and features an 80 EU Iris Xe G7 iGPU. Core i5-1135G7 has a base clock speed of 2.4 GHz as long as it is allowed to consume 28 watts.

AMD Phoenix (Zen 4, Ryzen 7040):

R7 PRO 7840HS: High-End mobile 8-core processor based on the Zen 4 architecture. The CPU cores clock at up to 5.1 GHz and execute 16 threads simultaneously. Integrates an XDNA Ai-Engine. The TDP is configurable between 35 and 54 Watt.

14.00:

14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact. 

In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.
