[@ShortCircuit]

Important Note: For pricing the Vision 14 included 19% VAT because it was being sold in Germany, as well as a higher price than the US due to longer warranty requirements. This makes the pricing much better compared to the Blade 14

[@maft90]

Was gonna say compare the price to a razer blade in euros it's like 2200, when comparing pc parts from eur to gbp to usd it's often not far off a 1 to 1 exchange rate

[@CheapBastard1988]

I'm glad you guys caught up on this. It's a very typical error in price comparisons in KZbin video's.

[@antronk]

Tbh, that's quite sloppy not to prepare that for the video. I get that short circuit is rapid fire reviews but c'mon... You have a big reach. Do your minimum homework

[@antoniousai1989]

You also need to consider pricing for stuff in Europe is higher in general, so you can't compare it to the US prices anyway. Especially since this company seems to have a good support system that works better in Europe too. Local producer

[@HoloScope]

@@antronk yeah I think that's why they posted the comment you doofus.

[@xmg_gg]

Hi everyone, we would like to comment on the screen wobble in this video: VISION 14 is a 1kg laptop with very narrow screen bezels. As bezels get more narrow, so does the amount of space we can use to attach (with screws) hinges to the screen assembly. This causes laptops all across the industry to get slightly more wobbly recently. The hinges in VISION 14 are relatively light and offer a torque resistance of only 2.5kg - this allows the laptop to be opened with one hand. It also makes the laptop feel nice and effortless to work with and it fits the overall ultra-low-weight design. In the months after the beginning of mass production, we have worked with our ODM in Taiwan to increase the hinge torque to 3.3kg (losing one-hand opening), but this eliminated wobble only to a small extent, because wobble is a combination of hinge assembly space and the inherent flexibility of the ultra-light, thin chassis material. What you see here in the video seems to be strongly exaggerated by the fact that the *table itself* in the video is wobbling. You can see this in many of the overhead shots with the pattern of the mousepad wobbling up and down on the screen. This seems to be a bad case of the table's own wobble frequency being in resonance with the laptop's wobble frequency, making the wobble more pronounced and lasting much longer than it should. Such harmonic frequencies can amplify each other. The wobbly table, having much more mass than the laptop, will increase the amplitude of the screen wobble and make it hard to stop. It happens in music, but it also happens in mechanics. In reality, you will *not see such wobble* when: • Putting the laptop on a hard surface that does not wobble itself • Putting the laptop on any soft surface (such as your lap), because a soft surface would immediately dampen any wobble • Putting the laptop on a sleeve would also work as a dampener You can find a number of other reviews of VISION 14 and TUXEDO InfinityBook Pro 14 Gen6 on KZbin where the laptop was tested on hard, wobble-free surfaces and the screen wobble was not that bad in those review. Also, we haven't gotten much negative feedback from end-users about this issue because it is very easy to deal with by just using an appropriate working surface. If you have any other questions about VISION 14, please reply to this comment directly. Thank you for your feedback! // Tom

[@AdaDenali]

Hey thanks for being here to answer questions. Can you charge the laptop from both USB-C ports? If so how much power will the accept? I have an Envy 14 that, like the Vision, has a barrel plug and USB-C, and I can use either one to charge fast enough to run games without discharging the battery (assuming I am using at least something like a 70 watt USB-C charger, 60 watts is a little too low. 100 is plenty).

[@xmg_gg]

@@AdaDenali VISION 14 can be charged from both USB-C ports (left and right) when powered on, but only from the right port when powered off. It will allow almost 90W and thus give almost the same performance as the barrel plug. We have posted benchmark comparisons between barrel plug and USB-C power in the Reddit thread "[Launch] SCHENKER VISION 14 with i7-11370H and RTX 3050 Ti" - you can find it with the search engine of your choice. // Tom

[@AdaDenali]

@@xmg_gg thanks Tom, that’s awesome. I’ve wanted double sided USB-C charging on my laptop for a long time, but haven’t wanted to give up USB-A ports like with a XPS or Macbook. This laptop is definitely going on a list.

[@mycosys]

@@xmg_gg I deeply wish that LMG would stop on the barrel charger brigading and actually check USB charging. USB chargers are more expensive and resource intensive, barrel chargers dont need an expensive hand assembled USB-c, they dont need a microcontroller to negotiate PD, they dont need to support multiple voltages like a PD compliant charger. It is just cheaper to include BOTH a barrel jack and USB-PD charging, and provide a barrel charger. This means we dont need to waste a high bandwidth USB-C port to charge. We can buy cheaper chargers in the future. And we can STILL charge just fine off USB.

[@blue4059]

I noticed this review unit is last generation. Does XMG or any other global OEM sell Intel 12th Gen model of the VISION 14 chassis?

[@PetWanties]

Prices on german sites are usually VAT included, not sure if you calculated that in when comparing to the Razer laptop on the US website.

[@CarthagoMike]

The price of the Schenker is in VAT and the Blade one wasn't, so they clearly didn't think of that when comparing the prices.

[@OmairArif]

ya, Alex's config without VAT should be around 1,780 USD.

[@marcello4258]

[@TeoKuzma123]

The razer blade starts at ~2.200€ in EU. Also $2.123 US is with tax :)

[@CarthagoMike]

Ye, the Razer Blade price they showed didn't include VAT, whilst the Schenker did. So it isn't exactly a fair price comparison.

[@hobbypyromane2.05]

That’s right. Please pin this comment!!!!

[@sirmonkey1985]

@@CarthagoMike yeah sadly that's something we're not use to in NA.. tax is always added later so most people don't catch that when looking at euro prices.

[@RandarTheBarbarian]

Is it? I'm not sure exactly how ordering something from a country with a VAT tax to a country with a sales tax model works, even if the VAT is removed when shipping to another country there are also import taxes to be concerned with which at least in the US vary based on the type of product and could make that 19% VAT back. Then if you factor in sales taxes like they didn't do here that could mean an increased 10.3% or 0% depending on where exactly you live... Like shipping taxes are highly variable depending on where you are and you can really only go by the list price on the website, though it would have been more fair for a German to German site comparison.

[@murk1572]

The price on the laptop includes VAT, and I'm not sure the Razer comparison does - as a note, without (German 19%) VAT it's around 1631€ , which is 1780 USD

[@patrickm6582]

You should compare the Razer Blade's price in Germany to it, as electronics tend to be far more expensive in Europe in general.

[@ykhatat]

They probably don't know that these prices include VAT smh.

[@OmairArif]

At least in this case, the price isn't far more expensive in Europe. In Germany the price for the Blade 14 is 2016 USD before VAT compared to 2000 USD before Tax in the states. The problem is Alex didn't account for the fact Europe includes VAT in the advertised prices, so his conversion of the Vision 14 price was flawed. Really his config is about 1780 USD.

[@jubuttib]

@@brandonchutt312 High VAT, longer mandatory warranties, etc.

[@jackwilson5542]

Not far more, about 20% due to VAT...

[@CarthagoMike]

I don't entirely agree with the price comparison here. The Schenker had VAT included in the Euro price, the Razer Blade one (on their website) did not in their Dollar price.

[@smartlifesystems]

You expect that smart, technology oriented person, often ordering online and providing tech news from all over the world would know pricing basics at least. It's your bad. P.S. Blame me in also... I like their shows and watch them despite the fact that many opinions and facts are (purposely or not)"twisted". In that case I would at least expect simplification like 1:1 euro conversion and 20% VAT deduction as this is close to average tax in EU.

This was never a problem for the first decade of YT videos, they would just have annotations for all their fixes.

[@skirata3144]

Since you gave Euro prices those include a 19% Vat which is usually missing in US pricing so there’s that.

[@CarthagoMike]

Ye, the Blade was excluding VAT, so in the end the pricing is likely similar.

[@CheapBastard1988]

10:35 The indicated price includes tax, which is typically around 20%. So usually a €1250 price tag in Europe would be about a $1250US in the United States. As price tags in North America don't include tax. Also the shipping of the laptop is free inside the EU.

[@LeoDDJ]

I absolutely _love_ the inclusion of the repairabilty segment in the latest review videos! Very good job, solid assesment and important information!

[@Hiiiiii161]

Well when looking at the price you have to account for the fact that electronics are cheaper in the US when you compare it you usually pay 150-200€ more in Europe when you translate both prices into the same currency

You can turn on "fast sync" in the nvidia driver panel, that removes tearing while not having any of the disadvantages of v-sync. btw, Schenker (XMG) laptops have been around for many years and it has always been a very good bang for buck. And as said here, prices in EU are with tax, so it would be better to compare it to Razer prices in EU as well.

@Sam Wallace nope, i'm dutch. neighbouring to germany :P

[@gebauzchris]

For the pricing you need to consider that in the US, prices are usually without tax. In Europe usually prices are with tax included. Accounting for that, the Schenker might be cheaper than the Razer.

The wobble is a complete non starter with a laptop at that price.

[@MrSyngamer]

I'm using one from a local PC boutique called Aftershock. Its a Tongfang chassis, can't quite recall what it's model number is but it's fantastic for something that's really light and sleek. Best part is that its silent for regular day to day use, and doesn't get hot.

[@themagitechie9955]

Very nice to see some companies actually taking reparability seriously now, even in an ultrabook form factor.

[@alaingraham]

Europe usually adds tax before checkout, much like the UK. Also for some reason the configuration gives me 1990.02 not what you got. If I change it to to 64 gigs of ram it gives me about the same amount. Pre-tax is pretty reasonable at 1672.28 when using the 1990.02 price point (all prices are in euros.). When converted, this comes to about $1800.

[@andresacosta5318]

for "ease ofupgradeability" sake. i think, having usb c powerinput as an option is fine but having barrel connector is easier. most usb c charging is directly soldered onto the motherboard. while barrel connectors are usually pluged into the motherboard or is part of a daughterboard which makes it much easier and cheaper to replace. tho this one seems to be soldered to the board which is a pain in the butt

German prices (schenker is a german company) is always including VAT, you can take 19% off the price to get rid of the tax

[@CheapBastard1988]

I know what you mean but as you describe it, would technically be incorrect. If you take 19% off the price then you're calculating 19% of the final price, while it should be 19% of the original price (without included taxes). The correct way would be to devide the price by 1,19. So €1942.01/1.19=€1631,94. If you take 19% off from the final price it would end up as €1942-(1942*0,19)=€1573,03.

If that is the case you should be able to knock over €400 off the price listed.

[@CheapBastard1988]

Just about. Tax in Germany is 19% so €1942/1.19=€1631.93 so that's €310 less. But you'll also have to pay for shipping (shipping was only free within the EU), import taxes and/or sales taxes. You'll also have to pay for exchanging dollars to euro's with your bank, credit card agency or PayPal. Maybe you'll also have to pay a fee to the postal service for the customs declaration but that may not be a thing in the US.

[@yusraaziz2682]

I have the same problem as the laptop even though my pc were getting around 100+ fps but it stutter like im playing with 50fps.. It only fixed after I turned on vsync. Is it because im using a cheap 60hz monitor?

[@twinsen04]

The weight is surprising, I thought all light notebooks are as light as they can be. Where did they manage to take all that weight out of?

[@egerjlgherg2281]

Could someone explain how P-Core & E-Core would be used? Like Windows using the E-Core when idle or KZbin on Chrome being relegated to P-Cores.

You forgot the main PRO on Schenker: Their godlike support!

[@YounglingSlayer90000]

Can you please unbox and test the Dell Xps 13. Because there are certainly many who are considering a purchase. In addition, the Dell xps range would then be complete.

I wanted a thin and lite and just build a gaming pc but at 1200 I got a 11gen i7 and 3060 msi es67 laptop from Costco that I’m fine with doing my Blu-ray converting and gaming from that and then one day may use it for proxmox since my last Toshiba quosmio some reason won’t install proxmox

I'm more interested in that flannel, where can I buy one?

[@krypina3759]

What’s up with the export? Why is there black bars normally it’s not there.

[@user-ri4yw1pw5q]

In Germany the VAT is included remove 19 procent of that price

[@Wolkenkeller]

I am not sure about the prices, but the price in Euro is including taxes. Is it the same for the Blade?

[@CarthagoMike]

Nope, the Blade one did not include taxes.

[@mantenbrink]

Not sure how you would actually compare pricing, but normally electronics and pc components are all cheaper is USD then in EUR. So when I see a review of the zephyrus g14 for 1500USD I look in europe and it will cost 1700EUR+ usually. Might have to do with taxes or anything else, but usually just converting currency is not the way to go.

[@HASHlRAMA]

Is it just me or at some point it sounds like a fan turns on? at around 7:48 the fan noise goes away.

[@djalil_YT]

I’m sure someone commented that already but European prices tend to be higher than their USD equivalency. Goods are often more expensive and sales tax is included, which I understand isn’t the case in the US and maybe Canada?

Barrel plug is not boo as long as it takes USB-C as well

[@Tobibbi]

Does anyone other than content creators use SD cards in their day to day life? I have had an SD card reader in my laptops for the last 6 years and used it like 5 times.

[@PX3U]

The activate windows on the corsair ad tho

[@koreanhulk2107]

I don't know when all manufacturers will fix screen wobbling

[@Someone-ci8wf]

I'm not that big of a fan of laptop USB C charging as it makes the charging port much more complex. I've had issues with my thinkpad e590 where it refuses to charge when the charger has been sitting around plugged into the socket for a while. Also if I accidentally broke the cable on a barrel plug charger I would be able to fix that myself while I'm not confidently able to day the same about the type c chargers

Anyone with a Motile or any other Tong Fang 14" - 15" immediately recognizes this design. Would love to see someone board swap a purple 15.6" Gateway with something like this as a kind of modern sleeper. Why? Because they can damnit

[@huyquang4149]

The upgradability is awesome. My Asus G14 is thicker, lighter and it has only 1 RAM slot and 1 SSD slot.
