The Schenker Work 17 is a large office laptop with high processing power. The Intel Core i7 is supported by up to 32 GB of RAM. With many configuration options, the Leipzig laptop can also be customized to individual requirements.
Out of the box, the Schenker Work 17 packs a lot of performance and a sturdy aluminum and plastic case. Like the Schenker Work 15, the Work 17 also has an excellent keyboard with RGB lighting and a numpad. The Intel Core i7-11370H is supported by 32 GB of RAM, and it performs impressively in most benchmarks. The i7's iGPU can even handle some games without problems.
Unfortunately, we first encountered a problem with the laptop's performance management in the test. On battery power, the laptop crashed under very high loads, such as in the stress test with Prime 95 and FurMark. This behavior could only be eliminated with a BIOS update from Schenker. In the original BIOS version, the processor's target temperature in Performance Mode was 98 °C (~208 °F). The new version slightly lowers the target temperature, which allows the laptop to run without problems in all tests. The update is quite simple to perform, and it's explained in an easy-to-understand step-by-step guide by Schenker. We completed the process, which requires a USB stick, within a few minutes.
No performance losses when plugged in are noticeable as a result of the update. But the Schenker Work 17 now benefits from better stability on battery power. The high level of load that we generate in the stress test hardly occurs in everyday use. Therefore, the limitations should only be noticeable in a few use cases.

From an early age I liked to thoroughly examine all kinds of devices to see how they worked, which also involved taking my own devices apart and therefore not always to the delight of my parents. Nevertheless, with my grandfather’s support, I became a computer and electronics tinkerer. With the family PC and Lego Mindstorms, my interested in software and programming took off, and I am currently an engineering program student. I enjoy building all sorts of gadgets with Arduino and 3D printers, and I still like to put electronic devices through their paces. By joining the Notebookcheck editorial team, I have been able to turn my hobby into a profession.

I've been fascinated with technology ever since I got my very first Android smartphone, which was quite a while ago. The power packed into such a small footprint still amazes me. Learning to program made my understanding of technology deeper, and at the same time, it expanded my interest to the area of desktop computers and laptops. All this led me to enjoy reading and watching reviews of new devices, and that's how I stumbled upon Notebookcheck. I immediately found their reviews to be very comprehensive, and luckily, I've even had the chance of translating them since 2019. When it comes to the huge field of technology, I'm currently also interested in specializing in Java programming.
