Gaming Geforce Intel Laptop Raptor Lake Windows

Although the Erazer Scout E20 is primarily considered a gaming laptop from the entry-level segment, it could also be used in other areas that demand a high performance, such as rendering or video processing. Medion combines a Raptor Lake processor with a GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU, asking for about 1,500 Euros (~$1,658) for the whole package. The computer is based on a barebone from Clevo (V170RNCQ). Its competitors include devices such as the Gigabyte G7 KE, the MSI Katana 17 B13VFK, the Asus TUF Gaming A16 FA617, the Lenovo Legion 5 15IAH7H 82RB, and the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-46-R1A1.

Case - The Medion laptop uses a plastic case

The E20 cannot offer any case materials that give a high-quality appearance, but the whole case is made of black plastic. Medion uses smooth, matte surfaces. The unpretentious design of the laptop would also allow using it in business surroundings. Aside from the keyboard illumination, the laptop does not include any colorful ornamentation in form of LED bands. The battery (which is screwed and not glued in) and the rest of the equipment is accessible after removing the bottom of the case.

The Scout doesn't show any faults in workmanship. The gaps are even and there are no material protrusions. The base unit can only be warped slightly but the lid more significantly, although this still remains within limits. The hinges hold the lid tightly in position, with a maximum opening angle of about 135 degrees. The lid can be opened using a single hand.

In terms of its size, the E20 measures at the level of comparable 17.3-inch laptops, and the same also goes for its weight to some extent. In our comparison field, it represents the heaviest device - together with the Katana 17 - at 2.8 kg (~6.2 lb). The G7 KE weighs a good 200 grams (7 oz) less than both of those competitors.

Equipment - No Thunderbolt for the Erazer

The Erazer offers three USB-A ports (1x USB 2.0, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2) and a single USB-C port (USB 3.2 Gen 2). While the latter can output a DisplayPort signal, it doesn't include support for Power Delivery. The Scout E20 includes a total of three video output ports (HDMI 2.1, 2x DP). The connection equipment is completed by two audio ports and a Gigabit Ethernet port. There is no storage card reader.

The video ports and power connection are on the back of the device, so the corresponding cables would run in the back and not be in the way.

Communication

Under optimal conditions (without other WLAN devices in close proximity and close distance between laptop and server PC), excellent WiFi data rates are reached. The Medion laptop uses an Intel AX211 WiFi-6E chip, and wired connections are also handled by an Intel chip (I219-V; 1 Gbit/s).

Accessories

The laptop doesn't include any additional accessories besides the usual documentation such as the quick start instructions and warranty information.

Maintenance

After removing numerous screws on the bottom of the case, you can take off the bottom plate with the help of a prying tool such as a flat spatula. You will then get access to the working memory banks (both of which are occupied), the PCIe 4 M.2-2280 SSD, the WLAN module, the fans, and the battery.

Warranty

Medion offers a two-year warranty for the Erazer. While warranty extensions are available, you have to purchase them together with the laptop from the Medion online shop. It is not possible to purchase them later.

Input Devices - E20 keyboard with RGB illumination

Keyboard

The smooth, flat keys of the chiclet keyboard (which includes a number block) offer a short stroke and clear pressure point. The key resistance is okay. When typing, the keyboard has at most a minimal give, which doesn't turn out to be a hindrance. The keyboard illumination has four levels of brightness. Overall, Medion has delivered a keyboard here that is suitable for everyday tasks.

Touchpad

A 15.1 x 9.2 cm (~6 x 3.6 in) ClickPad, whose smooth surface facilitates sliding of the fingers, serves as the mouse replacement. It also responds to inputs in the corners and offers a short stroke and clear pressure point.

Display - FHD panel with sRGB coverage

Medion has equipped the E20 with a very responsive 144-Hz panel in the 16:9 format that doesn't show any PWM flickering at any brightness level. The brightness and contrast of the matte 17.3-inch display (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) meet their target requirements of >300 cd/m² and 1,000:1 respectively.

* ... smaller is better

The display shows a good color reproduction already in the state of delivery, and with a deviation of about 2.65, the target of DeltaE < 3 is met. An additional calibration lowers the deviation further to 0.96 and also ensures a more balanced grayscale.

The panel is able to cover the sRGB color space completely but not the AdobeRGB and DCI-P3 color spaces. The displays of most competitors show similar qualities.

Display Response Times

ℹ

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
10.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 5.4 ms rise
10.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 5 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 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 23 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.5 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
14.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 7.2 ms rise
14.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 7.6 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. » 23 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (33.7 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

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 17853 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

The IPS panel has stable viewing angles and can be read from any position. Outdoors, you can read the display contents when the sunlight isn't too bright.

Performance - The Scout uses Raptor Lake and Ada Lovelace

The Erazer Scout E20 represents a gaming laptop from the entry-level segment. The necessary computing performance is provided by Raptor Lake and Ada Lovelace chips. Our test unit is available for about 1,500 Euros (~$1,658). At the time of this test, we were unable to find any other equipment configurations.

Test Conditions

The E20 includes four manufacturer specific performance modes (see table). You can switch between them using the Control Center software, which is the control center of the laptop. We used the "Entertainment mode" for the benchmarks and the "Power saving mode" for the battery tests, with Optimus being active. The Power Saving mode also represents a special case among the modes, since it deactivates the GeForce graphics core.

	Gaming Mode	Entertainment Mode	Power Saving Mode	Silent Mode
Power Limit 1 (HWInfo)	110 Watts	50 Watts	20 Watts	15 Watts
Power Limit 2 (HWInfo)	115 Watts	115 Watts	30 Watts	30 Watts
Noise (The Witcher 3)	57 dB(A)	50 dB(A)	-	34 dB(A)
Performance (The Witcher 3)	~83 fps	~80 fps	-	30-50 fps

Processor

The Raptor Lake Core i7-13700H processor consists of eight Efficiency cores (no hyperthreading, 1.8 to 3.7 GHz) and six Performance cores (hyperthreading, 2.4 to 5 GHz), resulting in a total of 20 logical CPU cores.

The benchmarks deliver results above (Gaming mode, Entertainment mode) and below (other modes) the current average of the CPU until now. The more relevant single thread performance (170 points) is reduced less in battery operation than the multithread performance (1,335 points).

The CB15 loop test shows that constant multithread load causes the Turbo speed to drop from the first to the third run. After that, a constant level can be maintained - at least for a while. The Gaming mode ensures a higher constant clock speed.

Storage Solution

A 1-TB PCIe 4 SSD in the M.2-2280 format from Phison serves as the system drive. While it delivers very good transfer rates, it is not one of the top models among SSDs. There are no performance drops due to thermal throttling.

According to the Medion website, you can expand the laptop storage by using a 2.5-inch storage medium, but our test unit neither includes the necessary SATA slots nor the insertion frame.

A PCIe 4 SSD serves as the system drive.

Graphics Card

The GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU offers 2,560 shaders, a 96-bit bus, and 6,144 MB of fast GDDR6 storage. Medion allows it a maximum TGP of 100 watts. According to our The Witcher 3 test, the maximum TGP is not fully used.

The benchmark results range above the average for the RTX 4050. The Entertainment and Gaming modes produce almost the same graphics performance. The direct image output via the GeForce GPU doesn't bring a performance increase. Switching between Optimus and dGPU mode is done in the BIOS or via the Control Center. Advanced Optimus is not supported.

Gaming Performance

The Scout is set up for FHD gaming at high to maximum settings. The "Silent mode" enables gaming with low operational noise, but you should lower your resolution and settings accordingly. The laptop reaches frame rates above (Gaming mode, Entertainment mode) and below (Silent mode) the average we determined so far for the RTX 4050. Depending on the game, the direct image output via the GeForce GPU can lead to a minimal increase in the frame rates.

In order to evaluate whether the frame rates remain to a large extent constant over a longer time period, we run the game "The Witcher 3" for about 60 minutes in Full-HD resolution and at maximum quality settings. The gaming character isn't moved during that time. Only when "Silent mode" is activated is there a decrease in the frame rates.

Emissions - The Erazer Scout hardly heats up

Noise Levels

The performance profiles have a strong influence on the noise development of the laptop. While gaming, the "Gaming mode" will produce a noise level of about 57 dB(A), and when "Entertainment mode" is selected, the level is noticeably lower at 50 dB(A). In either case, the values are too high. The CPU und GPU should still be cooled sufficiently even with slower running fans, and Medion still has some work to do on updating the fan control.

The two other modes are considerably more user friendly, since they make the E20 run quieter. Even though "Silent mode" doesn't keep what the name promises, it still allows gaming at a low noise level. For example, the laptop runs through our The Witcher 3 test at about 34 dB(A).

During idle or everyday operation (Office, Internet), the laptop often runs quietly, and sometimes even silently. On the other hand, the fans occasionally also rev up unnecessarily (which is a typical phenomenon with Clevo barebones).

Stress Test

The stress test (with Prime95 and Furmark running constantly) represents an extreme scenario that we use to evaluate the system stability under full load. The CPU begins the test with medium-high clock speeds (P: 3.4 to 3.7 GHz, E: 2.8 to 2.9 GHz), and the GPU runs at 2.3 GHz. Continuing the test, the clock speeds of the CPU and GPU decrease.

Speakers

The stereo speakers produce a meager sound that also offers hardly any bass. For a better listening experience, we recommend using headphones or external speakers.

Verdict - A well-rounded gaming laptop from the entry-level segment

The Medion Erazer Scout E20, test unit provided by Medion.

While the Erazer Scout E20 is focused on FHD gaming, the laptop also strikes a good figure in other areas such as rendering and video processing. The Core i7-13700H and GeForce RTX 4050 are able to run at high clock speeds, and a 1-TB SSD ensures short load times and provides the necessary storage space.

With the Erazer Scout E20, Medion delivers a consistent gaming laptop from the entry-level segment. The fan control could still use some adjustment.

Although the laptop heats up only moderately under load, it can then produce a lot of noise. Fortunately, there is a "Silent mode" that enables gaming at a low noise level - but not silence.

A realistic battery life of barely 4.5 to 5 hours doesn't inspire any enthusiasm, and the relatively low battery capacity of 53.35 Wh becomes noticeable here. Since the battery cannot be charged with a USB-C charger, you'd always have to bring the power supply. The matte 17.3-inch display (FHD, IPS, 144 Hz, sRGB) left a good impression overall.

An alternative to the E20 could be the Asus TUF Gaming A16 Advantage Edition. While the performance ranges at a similar level, it can score with a significantly longer battery life and a display in the 16:10 format. A budget alternative would be the Gigabyte G7 KE, which has a comparable graphics performance but a purchase price that is about 450 Euros (~$498) lower. However, a Windows operating system is not included.

Price and Availability

In Germany, the Medion Erazer Scout E20 is available from the Medion online shop for almost 1,500 Euros (~$1,658). It is based on the Clevo V170RNCQ, which is available from Clevo for 1399 Euros (~$1,547). Clevo also offers different configuration options.

What started as a side job during my computer science studies later became my main job: For more than 20 years now I have been working as an editor and author in the IT sector. While working in the print sector I also contributed to the creation of various loose-leaf publications and published original written pieces. I have been working for Notebookcheck since 2012.

Having worked as a programmer for 20 years (medical devices, AI, data management systems), I've been following the computer scene for many years and especially enjoy finding out about new technology advances. Originally from Germany but living in the US, I've been working as a translator more recently, with Notebookcheck allowing me to combine my interest in new devices and translation.
