Extreme athlete. Desktop performance in a laptop? The brand new GeForce GTX 980 makes this possible. Schenker Technologies belongs to the first manufacturers launching a suitable gaming notebook. We checked whether the steep price is justified.

It’s vastly expensive, sure, and more cost-conscious buyers will realise that they could buy a compact games PC with a similar spec for half the cost. But if you have a passion for gaming and money to burn and want a games machine you can stash away with ease, the U726 is perfect.

17.30": This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


5 kg:

A laptop in this weight range is a heavyweight that you rarely carry around. This is meant for desktops and the devices tend to score with a large display and high performance and replace desktop devices.


93.8%: This rating is indeed excellent. There are not many models that are rated better. This can definitely be seen as a purchase recommendation.
