Schenker XMG Core 17 (Tongfang GM7MG0R) review: Configurable gaming laptop with a WQHD display

Successful implementation. The powerful hardware of the Schenker XMG Core 17 is able to bring all the current computer games smoothly to the responsive display (WQHD, IPS, 165 Hz, 17.3 inch). The preinstalled Control Center allows you to adjust the performance development of the CPU and GPU.
Comet Lake Gaming Geforce Laptop Windows

With the XMG Core 17 (Early 2021) Schenker is adding a gaming laptop of the upper mid-range to its offerings. The test unit provided to us is run by a Core i7-10870H processor and a GeForce RTX-3060 laptop GPU. The competitors include devices such as the MSI Alpha 17 A4DEK, the Acer Predator Helios 300 PH317-54, and the Medion Erazer Beast X10.

Since the build of the laptop is to a large extent identical to that of its two predecessors, we won't discuss the case, connection equipment, input devices, and speakers, except where there are differences. You can find the corresponding information on these features in our review of the XMG Core 17 (2019).

Connections - The Schenker laptop does not offer Thunderbolt

In terms of the connections, something has changed compared to the predecessors: The two Mini-DisplayPort connections were removed, and the USB-C port now supports the USB 3.2 Gen 2 standard (before: USB 3.2 Gen 1) and also DisplayPort via USB-C.

Display - 165 Hz WQHD IPS

While the brightness value (332.7 cd/m²) of the matte 17.3-inch display (2560 x 1440 pixels) turns out good, the contrast (974:1) could use some improvement, barely missing the target (> 1000:1). The 165-Hz panel offers quick response times and does not produce any PWM flickering. Alternatively, Schenker also offers the option for an FHD display (IPS, 144 Hz).

In the state of delivery, the display offers a good color reproduction, meeting the target (Delta E < 3) with a color deviation of 2.41. The display does not suffer from a blue tint. Via calibration, you can achieve some improvements, with the color deviation dropping to 1.19 and the Grayscale display becoming more balanced. The AdobeRGB (69%) and sRGB (93%) color spaces are not fully covered.

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 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 4.8 ms rise
↘ 5.2 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. » 22 % 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
16.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 8.4 ms rise

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. » 26 % 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 17915 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

The viewing angles of the IPS panel are stable and the display contents can be read from any position. Outdoors, the display contents can be read if the sun isn't too bright.

Test Conditions

You can switch between the three performance profiles "Balanced," "Enthusiast," and "Overboost" via the preinstalled Control Center or the profile switching key (next to the power button). For our test, we used the "Enthusiast" profile (PL1/PL2: 60 watts) and the automatic fan control. Several benchmarks were also run with the "Overboost" profile (PL1/PL2: 75 watts) activated. During the battery tests, we used the "Balanced" profile (PL1/PL2: 35 watts).

Processor

The Core i7-10870H octa-core processor (Comet Lake) runs at a basic clock speed of 2.2 GHz. Via Turbo, this can be increased up to a maximum of 4.2 GHz (eight cores) and 5 GHz (single core). Hyperthreading (two threads per core) is supported.

The processor runs through the CPU tests of the Cinebench R15 benchmark at 3 to 3.8 GHz (multi-thread) and 4 to 4.8 GHz (single thread). In battery operation, the CPU operates at clock speeds between 2.6 and 2.9 GHz (multi-thread) and between 2.4 and 4.2 GHz (single thread).

Multi-thread (mains operation)
Multi-thread (mains operation)
Single thread (mains operation)
Single thread (mains operation)

We evaluate whether the CPU Turbo is also used constantly in mains operation by running the multi-thread test of the Cinebench R15 benchmark for at least 30 minutes in a constant loop. The Turbo is used at a medium level. The "Overboost" performance profile only causes the clock speed to increase slightly.

Overall, the Core i7 does not fully make use of its capabilities in the multi-thread benchmarks. In order to get more performance from it, the power limits of the CPU would need to be raised, which would be possible via the preinstalled Control Center, where the maximum configurable would be 120 watts (PL1/PL2). We also ran the CB15 loop with this performance setting in order to test this - without running into any problems.

Graphics Card

The GeForce RTX-3060 laptop graphics core represents Nvidia's current entry-level model into the GPU high end. The GPU is able to use fast GDDR6 graphics storage (6144 MB). The UHD Graphics-630 graphics core integrated into the processor is active, and the laptop uses Nvidia's Optimus graphics switching solution. The GeForce GPU can be deactivated in the BIOS.

Laptop manufacturers are able to configure the TGP and with that the maximum available computing performance of a RTX 3000 graphics core fairly freely as long as they stay within the limits defined by Nvidia (Overview of all RTX 3060 laptops including their TGPs). Schenker extends this option to the users, allowing them to freely adjust the TGP up to the maximum of 130 watts (115 watts + 15 watts Dynamic Boost).

However, at a high TGP the performance increase turns out to be limited: Even though the "Overboost" profile (115 watts + 5 watts Dynamic Boost) uses a TGP that is about 26% higher than the "Enthusiast" profile (90 watts + 5 watts Dynamic Boost), the achieved test results are only up to 10% higher. This goes for the GPU tests as well as the gaming benchmarks.

Gaming Performance

The hardware is able to bring all the current games to the screen smoothly. Generally, you can use the full resolution of the display (2560 x 1440 pixels, WQHD) and high to maximum quality settings while gaming. The FHD resolution would allow for a maximum quality level throughout.

Compared to all the RTX 3060 laptops that we have tested until now, the Core 17 does very well. Generally the differences in the frame rates between the devices do not turn out too large, despite the different TGP configurations. As the results of the Core 17 show, even a significant increase of the TGP value will only lead to a slight increase in the frame rates.

Emissions - The Schenker computer can produce a lot of noise

Noise Emissions

During idle operation and under low loads, the noise development remains within limits. The fans then generally run at low speeds. Under load, they will rev up, and we register a maximum noise level of 54 dB(A) (stress test) and 51 dB(A) ("The Witcher 3" test), which makes using a headset almost a requirement.

Verdict

The Schenker XMG Core 17 (Early 2021), provided by Schenker.
The Schenker XMG Core 17 (Early 2021), provided by Schenker.

The Core i7-10870H CPU (maxPL1/2: 120 watts) and GeForce RTX-3060 laptop GPU (maxTGP: 130 watts) bring all the current games to the screen smoothly. You won't have to worry about throttling, and the CPU and GPU are always able to maintain their constant performance.

With the XMG Core 17 (Early 2021), Schenker delivers a well-rounded mid-range gaming laptop.

While the automatic fan control makes the laptop very loud under load, you can make some adjustments here, and the Control Center offers manual control of the fan curves. Particularly during gaming ("The Witcher 3" test), there is still some potential for optimization compared to other RTX 3060 laptops.

The display (WQHD, IPS, 165 Hz) offers a good brightness value, stable viewing angles, short response times, a good color reproduction, and a very decent color space coverage. However, the contrast could be higher, and the battery life is not very inspiring to anyone either.

Note that some of the valuations of the single categories are different than those of the Core 17 from 2019, since we have updated the valuation system. This means that the valuations of both Core 17 models are not comparable.

Price and Availability

The Schenker XMG Core 17 (Early 2021) can be configured individually at the Schenker (Bestware) online shop starting from about 1450 Euros (~$1773). The equipment configuration provided to us for testing is available for about 1840 Euros (~$2250).
