Schenker Connect 15 (E26) review: Business laptop with a replaceable battery, SmartCard, Wi-Fi 7 & LTE

Business toolbox.

Wi-Fi 7, LTE, a SmartCard reader, and a replaceable battery have become increasingly rare in modern business laptops. The Schenker Connect 15 focuses on exactly these features, combining enterprise-friendly capabilities with quiet and power-efficient hardware.

Verdict - Business laptop with rare features

The Schenker Connect 15 stands out primarily because of its excellent feature set, making it particularly appealing for business environments. A SmartCard reader, replaceable battery, fast Wi-Fi 7, Ethernet, and optional LTE connectivity are features that remain uncommon in this segment.

The laptop prioritizes quiet operation and power efficiency under load, making it well suited for office use. In its default Balanced mode, performance is intentionally conservative, which is perfectly adequate for everyday productivity. Users needing additional horsepower can switch to Performance mode, where CPU performance reaches a competitive level. The display is bright but otherwise just office standard.

GPU performance, however, is well below average, making the Connect 15 a poor choice for AI workloads or 3D applications. Schenker could also further reduce idle power consumption for maximum efficiency, while battery life no longer feels particularly competitive compared to the latest ARM-based rivals.

We also found the keyboard slightly too soft during typing, and compared to many competitors, the Connect is both heavier and thicker.

Overall, this is a very well-equipped office laptop with clear enterprise ambitions.

Pros

+ SmartCard reader, fingerprint sensor
+ Optional LTE, Ethernet & Wi-Fi 7
+ Replaceable battery
+ Power-efficient under load
+ Fast SSD

Cons

- Power connector does not fit securely
- Average battery life
- Mediocre webcam
- Weak integrated GPU performance
- Somewhat high idle power consumption

Preis und Verfügbarkeit

The laptop is configurable on bestware starting at €965.

Chassis & features - Simple design with excellent connectivity

Finished in black with only a subtle logo, the plastic chassis has a clean and understated appearance. The display produces slight creaking when twisted, while the base flexes with some minor cracking noises. Panel gaps, however, are consistent throughout. At nearly 1.9 kg, the Connect is not particularly lightweight, and many competing 15-inch laptops are also noticeably thinner.

A dedicated maintenance hatch on the bottom provides access to the LTE SIM module, and the battery can be replaced without fully disassembling the system. Accessing the internal components beyond that requires removing 13 screws.

Connectivity is one of the laptop's strongest points, featuring an integrated SmartCard reader, optional LTE, and Wi-Fi 7. One of the three USB ports also supports Thunderbolt 4 with up to 40 Gbps, and a microSD card reader is included as well.

The Full HD webcam is less impressive, with washed-out colors, relatively high color deviations, a somewhat dark image, and limited detail.

During testing, we noticed that the power connector can occasionally become partially disconnected too easily. This isn't visible from the outside, but the laptop immediately switches to battery power when it happens.

The keyboard features a classic, uncluttered layout with a dedicated number pad and full-size arrow keys. Typing is comfortable despite the relatively short key travel, although the feedback feels somewhat soft and could be more tactile.

The touchpad measures approximately 12 x 7.2 cm and offers smooth gliding characteristics. A fingerprint reader is integrated into the upper-left corner.

Display - 400 nits for everyday office use

The matte 15.6-inch Full HD IPS display covers "only" 90% of the sRGB color space and operates at 60 Hz, but delivers a respectable 400 nits of brightness. Response times are relatively slow, which is typical for an office-oriented panel.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
28.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 16.2 ms rise
↘ 12.6 ms fall
The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 76 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (19.9 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
39.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 19.8 ms rise
↘ 20 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 61 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (31.1 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 52 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 7816 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

PWM is not used for brightness control. Instead, we only observed DC dimming with a slight waveform at the panel's native 60 Hz refresh rate. This LCD-related residual flickering is generally invisible to the human eye.

Performance - Built for productivity, not peak performance

At a time when memory prices remain high, Schenker equips the Connect 15 with 32 GB of RAM as standard. Combined with an efficient mid-range processor featuring Intel vPro Essentials management capabilities, the result is a dependable office workhorse. Features like the SmartCard reader further increase its appeal for enterprise customers.

Test conditions

We primarily tested the Connect in Balanced mode (Quiet, Balanced, Performance). Switching to Performance mode doubles the CPU's dynamic PL1 limit from 15 W to 30 W.

Control Center
Control Center

Processor

The Intel Core 5 120U is an efficient processor with a 15 W PL1 rating, featuring 10 cores (2 Performance cores, 8 Efficient cores, 12 threads) and clock speeds ranging from 0.9 GHz to 5 GHz.

CPU performance falls slightly below the segment average, with the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i delivering noticeably higher performance using the same processor. However, enabling Performance mode completely eliminates this difference.

CPU performance does not decrease further when running on battery power.

Once again, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i is faster, although this gap largely disappears in Performance mode. Memory performance is quite strong.

In everyday use, the system feels smooth while plugged in, although occasional slowdowns can be noticed when operating on battery.

Emissions & power consumption - Quiet cooling, but only 6.6 hours of battery life

Noise emissions

At idle, the single cooling fan is often—but not always—turned off. When active, it quietly hums at around 24 dB.

Under load, fan noise reaches just 33 dB, making it quieter than many competing systems. In Cyberpunk running in Performance mode, we measured 39 dB.

Temperatures

The hottest area is located on the underside of the chassis. During gaming and stress testing, we recorded temperatures of up to 50°C near the center below the display hinge, while the rest of the laptop remained noticeably cooler. Due to the single-fan design, the right side becomes warmer than the left.

Power consumption

Under load, the Connect 15 is quite efficient, surpassed only by the Asus ExpertBook B1, which is also slightly faster. The compact 45 W power adapter operates close to its limits under extreme conditions. Very short power spikes of up to 52 W are not problematic, but Cyberpunk in Performance mode maintains a continuous power draw exceeding 47 W.

Idle power consumption could still be optimized further.
