Schenker XMG Pro 15 (Clevo PC50HS-D) review: Thin and light 4K gaming laptop
The Schenker XMG Pro 15 from late 2021 is a lightweight, compact 15.6-inch gaming laptop. It is based on the Clevo barebone (PC50HS-D) and powered by a Core-i7-11800H CPU and a mobile GeForce RTX 3080 GPU. It competes directly with devices such as the Lenovo Legion S7 15ACH6, MSI Delta 15, Alienware x15 and the Razer Blade 15 Advanced (Mid 2021).

Case - Schenker laptop with a metal chassis
For the XMG Pro, Schenker uses a slim metal chassis in matte black. Since the simple and yet elegant chassis comes without any striking visual accents, it is suitable for professional settings. Compared to the XMG Pro 15 model from early 2021, there are only a few minor differences. There is no maintenance hatch and the battery is fixed.
The construction does not warrant criticism. The clearances are even and there are no undesired material protrusions. While the lid and base unit yield slightly when twisted at the corners, the rigidity is still solid overall. The hinges hold the lid firmly in place, even though they allow for some teetering. The display can be opened to up to 130 degrees. It is possible to open the laptop with just one hand.
The XMG Pro is one of the most compact devices in our comparison and only ever-so-slightly larger than the Blade 15. For the most part, all laptops in our comparison are even in terms of their weight. Only the Alienware x15 deviates from this and weighs around 400 g more.
Connectivity - Schenker XMG with Thunderbolt 4
The XMG Pro integrates three USB type-A ports (USB 3.2 Gen 1) and one USB type-C port (Thunderbolt 4). The latter can be connected to a feature-rich docking station or an external GPU. Furthermore, the port supports DisplayPort via USB-C. Combined with the Mini DisplayPort and the HDMI port, there are three video outputs in total. All three video outputs support G-Sync. For the USB type-C port, this has to manually be enabled from within the BIOS. There is no integrated card reader.
The ports are distributed across three sides of the notebook. All three video outputs are located on the back of the device. As a result, connected cables are run along the back and do not get in the way.
Communication
The Wi-Fi module is based on an Intel chip (AX201) and supports the 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax standards. Under optimal conditions (no other Wi-Fi devices in the vicinity, notebook and server in close proximity), we observed excellent transfer rates. A Realtek Gigabit Ethernet controller handles wired networking. We did not encounter any issues with it during our testing.
Webcam
The Webcam (0.9 MP) captures images with a maximum resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. The color accuracy is lacklustre: The colors significantly deviate from their ideal values.
Accessories
Aside from warranty information and a manual, there is a recovery DVD, a cleaning cloth, USB thumbdrive and a M.2 screw included in the package.
Maintenance
Performing maintenance and upgrading the system is simple. After loosening all screws on the bottom of the device, the bottom plate can be removed with the help of an object with a sharp edge. Subsequently, users can access the SSD, secondary M.2 slot, Wi-Fi module, battery, RAM and the fans.
Warranty
The manufacturer offers a base warranty of two years with pick up and return service in certain European countries as well as a 6-month rapid repair service (repair within 48 hours). A warranty extension to 36 months can cost from 100-149 Euros (~$110-$170) - depending on the rapid repair period.
Input Devices - Keyboard with RGB backlight
Keyboard
The Schenker laptop is equipped with a backlit RGB chiclet keyboard that includes a numpad. The flat, smooth keys offer medium travel and a distinct actuation point. We are pleased with the key feedback. The keyboard area slightly yields while typing. This did not end up being an issue during our testing. The keyboard backlight has three brightness settings, which can be controlled via two function keys. Overall, the keyboard is well-suited to daily use.
Touchpad
The smooth surface (~10.8x6.1 cm) of the touchpad supports multi-touch gestures and has good gliding properties. It responds well to inputs all the way into the corners. The two dedicated mouse buttons offer medium travel and a distinct actuation point.
Display - Gaming Notebook with a 4K OLED panel
The reflective OLED screen (3840 x 2160 pixels) offers an excellent contrast ratio (22150:1) as well as black value (0.02) and short response times. The brightness (433.7 nits) is also pleasantly high. At brightness levels of 81 % and lower, our measuring devices detect flickering with a frequency of 60 to 240 Hz. Due to the low frequency, sensitive users may exerpience headaches or eyestrain. As an alternative to the OLED panel, Schenker also has a matte FHD display (IPS, 300 Hz) on offer. The same panel can be found on the Early-2021-Modell des XMG Pro, which we also reviewed.

* ... smaller is better
The X-Rite certification of the screen ensures a natural color representation. Even ex-factory, the color deviation is very low and impossible to notice with the naked eye. The display does not suffer from a blue tint. The color space coverage is wide: The screen can display 98 % and 89 % of the sRGB and AdobeRGB color spaces, respectively (we may retest this, since Schenker reaches 100 % in their own testing).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
Screen flickering / PWM detected | 60 Hz | ≤ 81 % brightness setting | |
The display backlight flickers at 60 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 81 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 60 Hz is very low, so the flickering may cause eyestrain and headaches after extended use. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17900 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. |
Since the panel has good viewing angles, it can be read from any position. Outdoors, reading the display's content can be tricky due to its reflective nature.
Performance - Sufficient for years to come
With the XMG Pro 15, Schenker has created a slim, compact 15.6-inch gaming notebook with enough performance reserves to run all current games smoothly.
Testing Conditions
The preinstalled Control Center software allows users to select a power profile (see table), among other things. The performance profile with automatic fan control was selected prior to running any benchmarks. Several benchmarks were also run using the other three profiles. The results can be found in the comparison tables. The battery life tests were run using the "Entertainment mode".
Performance mode | Entertainment mode | Power saving mode | Silent mode | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Power Limit 1 | 55 watts | 45 watts | 20 watts | 15 watts |
Power Limit 2 | 135 watts | 90 watts | 90 watts | 90 watts |
max. TGP | 105 watts | 90 watts | 80 watts | 80 watts |
Processor
The octa-core processore Core i7-11800H (Tiger Lake) runs at a base clock of 2.3 GHz. With Turbo, it boosts to up to 4.2 GHz (eight cores) or 4.6 GHz (single core). Hyper-Threading (two threads per core) is supported.
During the Cinebench R15 Multi benchmark, the CPU runs at 4 to 4.1 GHz (on mains) or 1 to 4.1 GHz (battery mode). During the single-thread benchmark, the CPU runs at 1.6 to 4.6 GHz in both cases.
By running the Cinebench R15 multi-thread benchmark in a loop for at least 30 minutes, we determine whether the CPU Turbo Boost is constantly active. This turns out to be the case and the Turbo runs at high clock speeds.
With the silent power profile, the performance drops significantly. High Turbo Boost frequencies are then only achieved intermittently. Regardless, the reduced performance is more than sufficient for office and web-browsing workloads and even light gaming.

GPU Performance
The actual performance of an RTX 3000 GPU depends on numerous factors: The cooling solution, memory configuration and maximum TGP, which the manufacturer can set to a value within a range that is predefined by Nvidia. Schenker set the maximum TGP of the installed, mobile GeForce RTX 3080 GPU (overview of all RTX 3080 laptops and their TGPs) to 105 watts (90 watts + 15 watts Dynamic Boost).
The 3DMark results are lower compared to our previous average for the RTX 3080. Here, the relatively low TGP becomes apparent. The scores of Razer Blade 15 Advanced, which is our test device's direct competitor, are comparable. Our Witcher 3 benchmark shows that the maximum TGP can be maintained over a prolonged period of time.
The GPU comes with fast GDDR6 video memory (16384 MB). The integrated UHD Graphics Xe GPU is enabled and the laptop uses Nvidia's graphics switching techonology Optimus.

Emissions - The Schenker Laptop makes a lot of noise
System Noise
During daily use (office, browsing the web), the two fans tend to be reserved and quiet. However, we did notice the fans occasionally ramping up unnecessarily - this increases the noise level to up to 41 dB(A). Under load, things can become very noisy with maximum values of 58 dB(A) (stress test) and 53 dB(A) (Witcher 3 test). The Razer Blade 15 consistently produces less noise regardless of the system load.
The noise levels under load can be reduced by selecting the silent power profile. The fans then spin very quietly. Meanwhile, the CPU and GPU clock rates are severely limited. Although gaming is still possible in this mode, the quality settings or resolution will likely need to be reduced.

Temperature
During daily use (office, browsing the web), the surface temperatures remain low. Under load (stress test, Witcher 3), the laptop gets very warm. In some spots, we measured temperatures in excess of 60 °C (140 °F). At the beginning of the test, the CPU reaches a temperature of 100 °C (212 °F) and thus the maximum as specified by Intel. Subsequently, the temperature stabilizes between 90 to 100 °C (194-212 °F).
(±) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 44 °C / 111 F, compared to the average of 40.4 °C / 105 F, ranging from 21.2 to 68.8 °C for the class Gaming.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 60 °C / 140 F, compared to the average of 43.2 °C / 110 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 27.8 °C / 82 F, compared to the device average of 33.8 °C / 93 F.
(-) Playing The Witcher 3, the average temperature for the upper side is 44.2 °C / 112 F, compared to the device average of 33.8 °C / 93 F.
(±) The palmrests and touchpad can get very hot to the touch with a maximum of 38 °C / 100.4 F.
(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.9 °C / 84 F (-9.1 °C / -16.4 F).

Stress Test
At the start of our stress test (running Prime95 and FurMark for at least one hour) the CPU (3.8 to 4.1 GHz) and GPU (1300 to 1600 MHz) run at fairly high clock speeds. After only a few minutes, the clock rates drop to 2.9 GHz and 500 to 1600 MHz, respectively, where they remain. This stress test represents an extreme scenario. We use this test to determine whether the system remains stable even under maximum load.
Speakers
The stereo speakers produce mediocre sound that is lacking in terms of bass. The maximum volume level is relatively high. We recommend headphones or external speakers for a better sound experience.

Energy Management - Schenker 15 with decent battery life
Energy Consumption
The Schenker model's power consumption is nothing out of the ordinary. It matches our expectations for the installed hardware. At the beginning of our stress test, the power draw spikes to 218 watts and then quickly drops to around 165 watts. During our Witcher 3 test we observed an average consumption of 186 watts. Since we did not encounter battery drain during this, the included charger appears to be sufficient (rated for 180 watts).

Verdict - The Schenker XMG Pro 15 is a well-constructed, compact Gaming Notebook
The gaming performance of this slim laptop matches the average of an RTX 3080 device. Here, the relatively low TGP of 105 watts becomes apparent. While at FHD, most games can be played at maximum quality settings, running them at the native display resolution (4K) tends to require lowering the quality settings.
PCIe 4, Thunderbolt 4, OLED - The Schenker XMG Pro 15 (late 2021) comes with the latest technologies.
The Core i7-11800H CPU and GeForce RTX 3080 mobile GPU consistently perform well. Under load, the laptop heats up considerably and generates a lot of noise. The silent power profile reduces the noise level at the cost of some performance.
There is space for two M.2-2280 SSDs (1x PCIe 4.0, 1x PCIe 3.0/SATA) and RAID 0/1 support. Our test device is equipped with a blazing-fast PCIe-4 SSD (1 TB). While its real-world Wi-Fi runtime of around 5 to 7 hours is nothing to write home about, it would be unreasonable to expect much more out of a gaming laptop with a 4K screen. Unfortunately, the battery cannot be recharged via the integrated Thunderbolt 4 port.
The OLED screen (3840 x 2160 pixels) is the stand-out feature of the Pro 15. It offers a high maximum brightness, excellent contrast, great viewing angles, short response times, good color accuracy and a wide color gamut. Unfortunately, the screen is reflective. Furthermore, we observed PWM flickering.
An alternative to the XMG Pro is the Razer Blade 15 Advanced. It is even more compact and offers two Thunderbolt 4 ports. Although its battery capacity is greater and it "only" comes with an FHD panel, its battery life does not meaningfully exceed that of our Schenker laptop. Meanwhile, the Lenovo Legion S7 15ACH6 (2000 Euros or ~$2250). While its 3D performance is significantly slower, it shines with a brighter, matte 4K IPS screen, better battery runtimes and a three-year warranty. The biggest weakness is its single, soldered RAM module.
Price and Availability
The Schenker XMG Pro 15 (late 2021) can be configured through the Schenker online shop. Our configuration can be purchased for around 3000 Euros (~$3400). The base model starts at around 2200 Euros (~$2500).
