Conclusion - Key 18 Pro impresses with top features

With the Key 18 Pro, Schenker offers a very specialized mobile workstation that sets standards, especially in terms of equipment (4x RAM, 4x SSD incl. PCIe 5.0, dual Ethernet, Thunderbolt 5). The Key 18 is practically unrivaled in terms of both RAM and SSD capacity. The performance is also good, although there is still some room for improvement with the processor.

The black aluminum housing is very simple, but the overall quality is okay. Only the occasional creaking of the lid is a little annoying on our test device. We also have some criticism of the display, as we would have expected at least color profiles for sRGB and P3 for the high price.

All in all, the Key 18 Pro is a good mobile workstation with very powerful hardware and if you can make use of the features, it is currently practically without alternative.

Pros

+ excellent maintenance options (4x RAM, 4x SSD)

+ high CPU/GPU performance

+ Thunderbolt 5, Wi-Fi 7, PCIe 5.0

+ Dual Ethernet (2.5 GBit/s)

+ 200 Hz display with 4K resolution

+ comfortable keyboard

+ 5 MP webcam with mechanical shutter

Cons

- no color profiles for sRGB/P3

- loud under load

- occasional creaking noises from the lid

- significant power reduction in battery mode

Possible alternatives in comparison

With the Key 18 Pro, Schenker has a large mobile workstation on offer that is primarily aimed at creative enthusiasts. Thanks to four slots for RAM & SSDs, the expansion options are massive and the fastest mobile GPUs are also available. We test the high-end version with the Core Ultra 9 275HX, GeForce RTX 5090 laptop, 4K display, 256 GB RAM and four SSDs with a total storage capacity of 28 TB. Of course, this is reflected in the price, which is 6,400 Euros (~$7490) for our test device.

Case & equipment

The aluminum housing is well-made and sturdy, but the design is rather unspectacular and the lid occasionally creaks a little. The smooth surfaces are not quite as susceptible to dirt as feared. However, the dimensions and weight of 4 kg (~8.8 pounds) should not be underestimated. The maintenance options are excellent, as there are four slots each for RAM and M.2-2280 SSDs (including 1x PCIe 5.0). In addition to 2x Ethernet (2.5 GBit/s), there are also Wi-Fi 7 and two modern Thunderbolt 5 ports.

Input devices - Illuminated keyboard

The keyboard offers single-key illumination and a dedicated numeric keypad. The typing experience is comfortable and the ClickPad works perfectly, only the mechanical clicks are a little loud.

Display - 4K IPS with 200 Hz

Our test device is equipped with the optional 4K panel (120/200 Hz), which offers good subjective picture quality. There is no PWM flickering and the response times are fast. The brightness is more than 500 cd/m², but the factory profile is not very accurate and there is no sRGB profile. We can significantly improve the display with our own calibration.

Display Response Times

ℹ

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
4.3 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 1.4 ms rise
4.3 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 2.9 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 15 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (20.4 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
5.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 2.4 ms rise
5.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 2.8 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 15 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

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: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8320 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Performance - Core Ultra 9 275HX and 256 GB RAM

The Key 18 Pro offers four RAM slots for up to 256 GB, which then run at a lower speed, however. We have also entered results for 32 GB of RAM (5600 MHz) in the system performance section.

Test conditions

We carried out our tests with the power profile Performance (Turbo). Note: In silent mode, the TGP continues to drop to 105 watts after a few minutes and the surface temperatures are a few degrees higher than in power mode.

Processor - Intel Arrow Lake-HX

With power limits of 145/130 watts, you cannot utilize the full performance potential of the Core Ultra 9 275HX but the overall CPU performance is still very good and, above all, stable.

Mass storage

The Key 18 already offers a fast PCIe 5.0 slot, which is fully utilized by the Samsung SSD 9100 Pro (transfer rates of over 11 GB/s). The performance also remains completely stable. With three additional M.2-2280 slots (PCIe 4.0), enormous storage capacities can be realized, such as the total of 28 TB on our test device.

GPU performance

The GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop is currently the fastest mobile graphics card and the maximum TGP is 175 watts. Advanced Optimus is available and the GPU performance is basically very good, but in some benchmarks (especially slightly older ones) the performance is somewhat lower than expected. There may be a connection here with the current driver version from Nvidia, where there have been occasional difficulties in recent months. However, the performance is generally good, even when gaming.

Emissions & Energy

Noise emissions

The two fans always operate with a minimally audible noise and also become very loud under high load. Although silent mode is very quiet, it is only suitable to a limited extent under load, as the CPU performance is very low and the GPU performance is also reduced with sustained load. There were no other electronic noises on the test device.

Temperature

At high loads, the surface temperature in some places is around 50 °C (122 °F) or slightly above, but due to its size and weight, the Key 18 is not suitable for use on the thighs anyway.

Editor of the original article: Andreas Osthoff - Managing Editor Business Laptops - 1863 articles published on Notebookcheck since 2013

I grew up with modern consumer electronics and my first computer was a Commodore C64, which encouraged my interest in building my own systems. I started working as a review editor for Notebookcheck during my dual studies at Siemens. Currently, I am mainly responsible for dealing with business laptops and mobile workstations. It’s a great experience to be able to review the latest devices and technologies and then compare them with each other.
