If you are on the market for a high performance mobile workstation with impressive performance, high capacity storage and advanced thermal management, this 18 -inch laptop from the German equipment manufacturer Schenker should be in your place.
The Schenker Key 18 PRO (E25), the first 18 -inch laptop of Schenker in almost 14 years, is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor and a choice of three NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics cards from Nvidia GeForce, including RTX 5090, RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 TI.
The 18 Pro key supports up to 256 GB of RAM and offers four SSD M.2 locations, one of which is used PCIe 5.0, for SSD storage up to 32 TB. The system supports RAID 1 configurations and is delivered with thermal pads for occupied storage and spare locations.
Stay cool
The laptop cooling configuration includes a composite thermal cap system with two fans, four exhaust vents and thermal pads in Honeywell PTM7950. These contribute to a quieter operation compared to the predecessor of the new laptop, the 17 pro key (M24). Buyers can choose from three performance profiles that balance speed and acoustics via software or a big sky shortcut.
There are two 18-inch display options available, a 1600p 240Hz model and a 4K 200Hz variant, both with complete DCI-P3 cover, 500 Nits and G-Sync support. The display switch between integrated and discreet graphics is managed via Advanced Optimus or a manual muxal switch.
Connectivity includes two Thunderbolt 5 ports, two 2.5 gigabit ethernet ports, HDMI 2.1 and Wi-Fi 7. A 330W redesigned power supply now uses a standard 5.5 mm barrel connector. The laptop also includes a 5 MP webcam with confidentiality shutter and an audio system with a subwoofer.
With a footprint of 402 x 320 x 29.5 mm and a weight of 3.95 kg, the device adapts to the larger end of portable workstations, but it is well in an acceptable range for mobile professionals.
Prices on Bestware.com start at € 3,199 € (including 19% VAT). A complete model costs around € 8,614 (with VAT), which is considerably lower than that of the specific Eurocom Raptor X18 laptop.
