Product Overview

Schenker VIA 14 is an ultraportable 14-inch laptop powered by 11th-gen Intel Tiger Lake 10nm mobile processors up to i7-1165G7. Unlike the VISION 14 which is unveiled months later, the VIA 14 retains the more conventional 16:9 aspect ratio and is therefore less compact, despite sharing its Magnesium alloy construction with the former.

Just like the VISION 14, the VIA 14 is notable for its thinness, measuring just over 16mm in height. At the same time, it offers more generous I/O options in this class. This includes not only Thunderbolt 4 and full-size HDMI but also a microSD card read. In terms of wireless connectivity, it is also configurable with 4G LTE WWAN for the ultimate wireless computing experience.

The VIA series is also available in 15.6-inch guise with roughly the same set of features. For those who do not require the level of portability offered by the VIA 14, Schenker further markets the MEDIA 14.
