GTX 1060 unleashed. Intel's brand-new desktop hexa-core Core i7-8700 is clearly the star of Schenker's new 15-inch Apex notebook. It is slightly oversized for a gaming notebook and is accompanied by a fast GeForce GTX 1060 GPU. The laptop lacks support for G-Sync but offers plentiful connectivity in return. Unfortunately, it suffers from a problem completely unrelated to gaming.

The predecessor was equipped with a swappable socket CPU for desktops, wiped the floor with the competition in terms of performance, but was clearly too loud. The current Apex 15 uses a normal laptop CPU, but still retains some features from the predecessor. This has advantages and disadvantages, but which ones outweigh the others?

Schenker combines a socketed Ryzen 9-5900X CPU with a GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. This results in a powerful laptop that strikes a good figure in the areas of gaming, video processing, and rendering. However, a long battery life, quiet operation, and low power consumption shouldn't be too important for potential buyers here.
