Medion Erazer Major X10 laptop review: Debut of Intel Arc A730M

Struggling against Nvidia and AMD. The Medion Major X10 is a highly exciting 16-inch gaming laptop. It is the first notebook we have reviewed that features Intel's Arc A730M graphics card. In this review, we will see how it compares with other laptops in terms of performance.

The Erazer Major X10 costs around 1,700 Euro (US$1,728) and is available on Medion's online shop. For the price, you are getting not just 32 GB of dual-channel RAM (2 x 16 GB DDR5-4800) but also 1 TB of NVMe storage. The laptop features the Core i7-12700H, a 14-core processor that is very popular in gaming laptops. As mentioned at the beginning, demanding graphics processing is handled by Intel's Arc A730M – a mid-range GPU that is primarily designed to compete with the GeForce RTX 3060 and the Radeon RX 6600M. The laptop also features a matt 165Hz display with a 16:10 aspect ratio and a resolution of 2,560 x 1,600. Windows 11 Home rounds off the overall package.

The Major X10 is competing with other mid-range gaming laptops, such as the Asus TUF F17 FX707Z-HX011W, the Acer Nitro 5 AN517-55-738R (both with RTX 3060; one with a higher and the other with an average TGP) and the HP Omen 16-c0077ng (RX 6600M). The supposedly slower Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7620 with GeForce RTX 3050 Ti is likewise included in the comparison tables. We will explain why later in the review.

Chassis

Appearance-wise, the Major X10 reminds us of Lenovo's Legion series. Medion chose to use a matt black chassis with an aluminium lid. The chassis feels solid in our opinion, even though the base section can definitely flex in some spots when you apply more force and the lid could be somewhat firmer (as is the case with most laptops). The display can be opened up to 180°, which is rather unusual for a laptop. And the hinges do their job without any issues. For instance, the device can be easily opened with one hand. Medion has equipped the laptop with numerous lighting elements to make it appealing to gamers. Apart from the keyboard, the logo on the lid and the crosshairs at the rear of the sides also stand out visually. The air vents above the keyboard feature a crosshair design to complement the overall aesthetics.

The Major X10 has a very good fit and finish. On our review unit, all the surfaces are joined together neatly. At 2.5 kg (5.5 lb), the 16-inch device is neither light nor especially heavy for a gaming laptop. For comparison, the slightly larger Asus TUF F17 and Acer Nitro 5 AN517 weigh 2.5 kg (5.5 lb) and 3.1 kg (6.8 lb) respectively, whilst the 16-inch competitors Omen 16 and Inspiron 16 Plus are marginally lighter at 2.3 kg (5.1 lb) and 2.1 kg (4.6 lb) respectively. According to the manufacturer, the Major X10 has a thickness of 2.7 cm (1.06") without its feet and 3.1 cm (1.22") with them.

Features

Interfaces

If you don't mind not having a Thunderbolt port and a card reader, you would be satisfied with the laptop's port selection. There are three USB Type A and two Type C ports (compatible with DisplayPort), and all except one of them support the 3.2 Gen 2 standard. The laptop is also equipped with a combo audio jack (headphones and microphone), an RJ45 Ethernet port and a HDMI 2.0 output. Because the most important ports are located at the back of the laptop, you won't have to worry about your movement being greatly restricted while you are gaming with an external mouse.

Connectivity

There were no surprises during our Wi-Fi test (laptop 1 m away from our reference router Asus AXE11000). The Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 module inside the device delivers high transfer speeds, in line with expectations.

Webcam

Medion could do with a better webcam. Although the webcam is slightly sharper and faster than many of its competitors, it is lacking in colour accuracy, much like many built-in webcams on laptops.

Accessories

Our review unit only came with a 300-watt power supply that measures approx. 20 x 9 x 2 cm (7.9 x 3.5 x 0.8").

Maintenance

The inside of the device can be accessed for maintenance in the same way as with most gaming laptops. After removing 11 Phillips screws from the bottom, you can lift the bottom cover off the laptop. Because there are clips holding the cover in place, you will need to apply a good amount of force using a flat tool to do. Inside the chassis, you will find two SODIMM slots, two M.2 slots (both located underneath a cover), the wireless module and the battery. The cooling system consists of two fans that share several heat pipes.

Input devices

Keyboard

The 16-inch laptop features a chiclet keyboard with a complete numeric pad whose keys are slightly narrower than the rest. Unlike many other manufacturers, Medion decided to use decently sized arrow keys rather than those tiny ones – some gamers are going to be happy about this. We also like the keyboard's layout, which mostly adheres to the standard QWERTZ design. One of the highlights is the four-zone RGB lighting with adjustable brightness levels. Several modes are available to let you customise the lighting. The keyboard feels decent to type on for a gaming laptop, i.e. it gives you sufficient feedback.

Touchpad

There is also nothing much to complain about the touchpad. Measuring around 12 x 6.5 cm (4.7 x 2.6"), it allows fingers to slide over it effortlessly thanks to its fairly smooth surface and also doesn't exhibit any issues (e.g. with precision, gestures). Only the areas for clicking at the bottom were a little too flimsy for our liking, despite being sturdy enough.

Display

The top-notch display is an outstanding feature of the device. Right now, 16:10 panels are becoming more and more popular in gaming laptops as well. And Medion is following this trend.

The 165Hz display made by AUO (model B160QAN03.H) is exceptional in almost every regard. First, it outclasses the competition when it comes to peak brightness. The panel has a good average peak brightness of 436 cd/m², thus making the Major X10 quite suitable for outdoor use. For comparison, the competitors can't even hit 300 cd/m².

Second, the contrast ratio of 1,233:1 is excellent for an IPS panel. However, this is only enough to place the laptop in the middle of our comparison group. That said, the display is already fairly colour-accurate right out of the box, as shown by the measurements we took using CalMan (see screenshots). Its colour coverage should be able to satisfy most consumers – the 98% sRGB coverage is more than adequate for a gaming notebook. And the screen is able to cover up to 73% of the AdobeRGB and 70% of the P3 colour space.

The viewing angle is typical of an IPS panel. Our measurement device reported response times of 6 ms (black-to-white) and 14 ms (grey-to-grey), which is likewise not bad relative to the other laptops in our comparison. However, it is a little unfortunate that there is some noticeable IPS glow around the edges. Our review unit had a brightness distribution of just 82%.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
6.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 2 ms rise
↘ 4.4 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 15 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
13.9 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 6.5 ms rise
↘ 7.4 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 22 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (33.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18080 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Performance

Although having 32 GB of RAM and 12 GB of VRAM screams high-end, we would only classify the Major X10 as a mid-range machine due to its less-than-stellar graphics performance (more in-depth analysis later on). At 1,700 Euro (US$1,728), the overall package can't really be considered a great deal.

Test conditions

You can choose between three profiles in the preinstalled Control Center software. Unless otherwise stated, measurements were taken with the Major X10 in Gaming mode, which should be similar to performance mode on other laptops. You can find the PL1 and PL2 settings of the various profiles in the table below.

Processor

The Core i7-12700H found in this Medion laptop is a current-gen 10-nm processor from Intel's Alder Lake lineup. The high-end option offers 6 performance and 8 efficiency cores and can handle up to 20 threads in parallel using Hyper-Threading. In our series of CPU tests, the Major X10 performed well even without Turbo mode activated. During the Cinebench R15 loop, its performance settled down at a fairly consistent level that is slightly higher than the what the 12700H's rivals are capable of. Even the Ryzen 7 5800H in the HP Omen 16 can't match this level of performance.

Graphics card

We have come to the most interesting part about the Major X10: its graphics card. This is the very first time that an Intel Arc A730M (24 Xe cores and 24 Ray Tracing Units) has landed on our testbench. The Intel GPU is a great performer when it comes to synthetic graphics benchmarks. In 3DMark tests, it significantly outperforms the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti and is on the same level as the GeForce RTX 3060 and Radeon RX 6600M. With Turbo mode enabled, the Medion laptop was able to get almost 20% more performance out of the GPU and speed past the other devices in our comparison. More benchmark results can be found on our page about the Arc A730M.

Gaming performance

In contrast, the GPU painted a very mixed picture in gaming benchmarks. Even though the Arc A730M is sometimes able to challenge the RTX 3060 and RX 6600M, it frequently just hovers around the performance level of the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti, which is usually found in much cheaper gaming laptops. In the worst case, the Arc A730M is even slower than the RTX 3050 Ti. This is rather disappointing considering the GPU's price and specifications (12 GB vs 4 GB of VRAM). Intel should really continue to improve the driver support. Similar to what we have seen in iGPUs, some games ran with visual artefacts or other miscellaneous issues. We also had to deal with occasional crashes. That said, graphics switching seems to work well. All the games used in our testing were directly assigned to the dGPU. Fundamentally, the Arc A730M is more or less designed for Full HD displays. At a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080, almost all games ran smoothly with details set to high or very high. Meanwhile, higher resolutions (such as the native 2,560 x 1,600) bring the Intel GPU to its limits. For more GPU comparisons, you can check out our game list.

Emissions

Noise emissions

The Major X10 is clearly audible when running in Gaming mode. Noise levels can reach 49 to 51 dB(A) under load, which many users will probably consider annoying. That said, other gaming laptops can be just as loud or even louder than the Major X10. We would definitely recommend using headphones. At idle, you can expect the device to produce 30 to 31 dB(A) of noise, which is fairly noticeable but not particular quiet. The 16-inch notebook is rarely completely silent as the fans are usually running.

Temperature

The chassis temperature left us with mixed feelings. On the one hand, the chassis is warmer than its competitors at idle, reaching up to 45°C (113°F) at the top and 48°C (118°F) at the bottom. On the other hand, it doesn't get too much warmer whilst the device is running at full load. Nonetheless, you probably still shouldn't place the device on your lap during gaming sessions.

Stress test

Similar to the Witcher 3 test, the Arc A730M completed the one-hour stress test (running FurMark and Prime95) with an average temperature of about 65°C (149°F). Meanwhile, the Core i7-12700H breezed through the test and ran at slightly over 70°C (158°F), which is also absolutely safe for the CPU.

Speakers

The sound quality of the Major X10 is average amongst gaming laptops. As is so often the case, the speakers mainly lack bass. Therefore, you should grab a pair of headphones where possible if you want to truly enjoy music and videos on the laptop.

Power management

Power consumption

It is difficult to understand why Medion included a bulky 300-watt power supply with the laptop. The Major X10 used no more than 220 watts during our stress test, suggesting that a more compact 230-watt charger would have made more sense. Under load, the device consumes 122 to 220 watts of power, which is similar to laptops equipped with an RTX 3060. However, its high idle power consumption of 24 to 36 watts puts it firmly at the bottom of the comparison group.

Battery life

Despite its decent battery capacity (80 Wh), the Major X10 doesn't exactly have great stamina and often trails behind the competition in this aspect. Nevertheless, it lasted a rather respectable 6.5 hours when we used it to browse the Internet over Wi-Fi at medium screen brightness.

Verdict

Erazer Major X10: The review unit was kindly provided by Medion Deutschland
Erazer Major X10: The review unit was kindly provided by Medion Deutschland

Too expensive for the gaming performance it offers: this is how the Medion Erazer Major X10 could be summarised in a nutshell. 

Whilst the Intel Arc A730M performs relatively well in synthetic benchmarks and puts up a good fight against the GeForce RTX 3060 and Radeon RX 6600M, its various weaknesses and performance outliers become apparent in actual gaming, with performance levels on par with or even worse than a GeForce RTX 3050 Ti. Therefore, it is hard to recommend the Arc A730M in terms of value for money, especially considering its power efficiency still leaves something to be desired.  

Otherwise, the Major X10 is quite impressive for the most part. In particular, the 16-inch screen provides a compelling reason to purchase the laptop due to its 16:10 aspect ratio, high resolution (2,560 x 1,600), high peak brightness and great colour reproduction.

Overall, we would only recommend the Major X10 to hardcore Intel fans or those who are extremely particular about displays. All other gamers who need or want to watch their budget should probably take a look at a laptop with an RTX 3060 or a GPU that has similar performance. Medion currently offers a few devices with such specs (not to mention they are often cheaper).

Price and availability

The Erazer Major X10 with a Core i7-12700H, Arc A730M, 32 GB of RAM und 1 TB of SSD storage costs around 1,700 Euro (US$1,728) and can be purchased from Medion's German online shop. The laptop is not yet available in other regions at the time of this review.
