Business, Class
Our lightest and most powerful BlackBook. Built on the principles of Intelligent Performance. The all-new, Venom BlackBook Zero 14 Phantom, has an astonishing battery life of up to 30 hours, while remaining incredibly lightweight – less than 1 kg (2.2 lbs).

No compromise. Our 8th generation Venom BlackBook Zero boasts the fastest mobile processor, memory, and storage, available in the world. Full sized PC connectivity with real world computing speeds up to 4 x faster than the previous Zero 14.

 

 

Mobile Brilliance.
Conduct business brilliantly. The BlackBook Zero 14 Phantom is designed for those who demand the highest mobility with maximum performance, and zero compromise.

The brave and the inspired always aim for the next level. The accumulation of each small, but tangible, improvement at every level, ultimately results in huge gains.

The Zero 14 Phantom series, by every standard, is simply better. That is why the BlackBook Zero 14 Phantom is the best, highly mobile, high performance, BlackBook we have ever made.

 

 

Smarter, Faster – Intelligent.
The Zero family was conceived over 10 years ago to incorporate the features of the original high performance BlackBook range. Originally designed for engineers, designers, and architects, the BlackBook was then repurposed for business and productivity use. Each component is calibrated to work harmoniously with the next, ensuring speed translates to real world performance.

Facial recognition, Thunderbolt connectivity, cloud sized-localised lightning-fast storage and more is wrapped in Imperial graphite black, dust and water resistant, magnesium alloy chassis. Smart and fast meets intelligent and functional.

 

Venom Vison – Lifelike Vibrancy.
The Venom Vision 14” FHD IPS display has a deep black IPS panel in a non-reflective matte anti-Glare LED display. The efficient lower power screen assists with achieving the remarkable 30-hour battery life. 100% sRGB gives consistent colours and brightness across all platforms. Wherever you use it, everything will look great, every, single, time.

 

 

Big Power – Compact Design.
Ergonomically designed to work from any perspective with a Wide Viewing Angle (WVA) screen. Sit or stand and adjust the perfect angle to your liking.

 

 

Magnesium Alloy CNC Machined Unibody.
Made from a CNC machined Magnesium Alloy, the lightest structurally used metal in the world. Approximately 30% lighter than equivalent premium Aluminium Alloys, while having a greater strength-to-weight ratio and remaining cool to the touch.

 

 

Business, Everywhere.
Exceptional experience within this one device. Unplug for up to 30 hours, with faster everything, and a full array of connectivity options. Run all your business and productivity applications, everywhere you go.

 

 

Aerospace Inspired.
Magnesium is less thermally conductive, meaning the Zero 14 Phantom is coolest to the touch. The primary secret to the Zero 14 Phantom weighing less than 1kg – 2.2 lbs, is also attributed to the use of an aerospace grade casing.

 

 

Stealth Active Cooling.
User controllable Active Venom Stealth Cooling (AVSC). Control fan speeds and temperature with 4 pre-set modes. Achieve near silence with Stealth mode via the turbine blade fins. The newly designed angular turbine blade fins increase air pressure, and airflow, while also reducing RPM noise for all levels of operation.

 

 

Intel Mobile Core i7
11th Gen Intel Core i7 processor with Intel Iris Xe graphics, is the world's best processor for thin and light laptops.

This processor surpasses everything in its class — with major advances in all areas that matter.

Combined with new industry-first and best-in-class technologies, like Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+), Thunderbolt 4, AV1 media decode, CPU-attached PCIe Gen 4 interface, and hardware-hardened security features.

 

Power Your Imagination.
Able to complete creative projects with blazing speed, powered by unique hardware accelerated AI, all in a sleek, thin & lightweight, laptop with leading performance — whether plugged-in or unplugged.

 

Intelligent Performance.
Harmony is achieved when design and functionality come together in one usable, calibrated, and tuned manner. A superb array of connections, brilliant SoundBlaster audio, immensely large lightning-fast dual drive flash storage, huge amounts of high-speed memory for smooth multitasking. Next generation facial recognition, backlit keys with a smooth agile touchpad. Unified and wrapped in a stealth aerospace cool, imperial Black Magnesium alloy casing.
