Kaby Lake-G Is History: Intel Phantom Canyon NUC11PHKi7C Review

Kaby Lake-G Is History: Intel Phantom Canyon NUC11PHKi7C Review

Instead of developing a second generation Kaby Lake-G, Intel has simply swapped out AMD for Nvidia to essentially put an end to the short-lived Intel-AMD chipset. The results are worthwhile even if the new NUC is a bit thicker and heavier than before.

Schenker VIA 14 laptop in review: Lightweight magnesium ultrabook with extremely long battery life

With the current VIA 14, Schenker offers an extremely light 14-inch Ultrabook that relies on modern Tiger Lake processors including Thunderbolt 4/USB 4. The Full HD panel is also very efficient and enables runtimes of more than 15 hours together with the 73 Wh battery.

Intel NUC11PAQi7 Panther Canyon Mini PC Review: Tiger Lake Done Right

Intel's implementation of the Core i7-1165G7 is better than most laptops. Raw processor performance is faster than the ill-fated Core i7-8809G released just a couple of years ago while being much more power efficient in the process.

Schenker XMG Core 14 (Clevo NV40MB) laptop review: baby gamer

15- and 17-inch gaming notebooks are a dime a dozen. However, if you want a particularly compact device in the 13- to 14-inch range, the selection is quite limited. This is where Schenker steps in with the XMG Core 14.
