Core i7-13700HX performance debut: Uniwill GM6PX7X IDX laptop review
The Uniwill GM6PX7X is a 16-inch white label gaming laptop design known in some markets as the Schenker XMG Neo 16 E23. It is a newer model revealed at CES 2023 alongside the mobile 13th gen Raptor Lake-H series and mobile Ada Lovelace GeForce RTX 40 series.
Like most other Uniwill or Schenker models, the GM6PX7X is highly configurable with CPU options up to the Core i9-13900HX and GPU options ranging from to the mobile GeForce RTX 4060 up to the 4090. Our specific review unit is a midrange configuration equipped with the Core i7-13700HX and RTX 4070.
See our full review on the RTX 4090-powered Schenker XMG Neo 16 E23 for more information on the chassis and as our RTX 4070-powered Uniwill GM6PX7X utilizes the same design. There are, however, several physical differences between them that we will note below.

Case
There are two chassis versions of the Schenker XMG Neo 16: one thinner build for all RTX 4060 and 4070 configurations and one thicker build for all RTX 4080 and 4090 configurations. The mobile RTX 4080/4090 GPUs are more power-hungry than the mobile RTX 4060/4070 and so they demand a larger chassis size. Major differences between the two versions include:
- Thickness: 22 mm vs. 26.1 mm
- Weight: 2.2 kg vs. 2.5 kg
- Battery capacity: 62 Wh vs. 99 Wh
- Webcam: 1 MP vs. 2 MP
- AC adapter: 280 W vs. 330 W
Both builds otherwise share the same keyboard options (membrane or Cherry MX mechanical), clickpad, ports, display and chassis materials.

Display
There are no second display options for this particular chassis design and so our Uniwill utilizes the same BOE NE160QDM-NZ1 IPS panel as found on the RTX 4090-powered Schenker Neo 16. The panel is notable for its fast 240 Hz refresh rate and >95 percent sRGB coverage. Nonetheless, competing laptops like the Asus ROG Strix G16 or Gigabyte AERO 16 OLED offer even deeper colors and faster response times that hardcore gamers or graphics editors can appreciate.

Performance
Testing Conditions
We set our unit to Turbo mode via the pre-installed Control Center software with Optimus turned off prior to running any benchmarks below. The system does not support Advanced Optimus meaning a reboot is required when switching between the discrete GPU and Optimus. Users are encouraged to become familiar with the pre-installed Control Center software as it is the hub for adjusting performance profiles, Optimus, and more.
G-Sync is not supported on the internal display.
Processor
We can finally see how the upper midrange Core i7-13700HX CPU scales after having testing several enthusiast gaming laptops with 13th gen Core i9 processors. Benchmarks show it to be roughly 25 percent faster than the previous generation 12th gen Core i7-12700H commonly found on most mid-range to higher-end gaming laptops of 2022. Upgrading to the Core i9-13900HX configuration is expected to boost performance quite significantly by 35 percent.
Overall performance is far ahead of any mobile Zen 3+ CPU while the latest Zen 4 Ryzen 9 7945HX is still the faster processor by 20 to 50 percent. Performance stability is excellent with no major clock rate fluctuations when stressed.

GPU Performance
After having tested a handful of GeForce RTX 4060, 4070, 4080 and 4090 laptops thus far, the expected performance differences between them are becoming clear. In regards to the 140 W mobile RTX 4070, users can expect it to perform 15 to 20 percent faster than the mobile RTX 4060 or roughly 30 to 35 percent slower than the 175 W mobile RTX 4080. Thus, the performance gap between the mobile RTX 4070 and mobile RTX 4080 is much greater than the gap between the mobile RTX 4060 and RTX 4070. This may be Nvidia's way to encourage potential buyers to consider the higher-end 4080 or 4090 configurations instead.
Upgrading from the mobile RTX 4070 to the 175 W mobile RTX 4090 option increases raw performance by about 55 to 80 percent. Extremely demanding games at 4K like Cyberpunk 2077 or F1 22 do not run well on the mobile RTX 4070 unless if DLSS or frame generation are supported.

Emissions
System Noise
Fan noise is dependent on the power profile and GPU setting. If on discrete GPU mode, for example, fan noise would be a steady 29 dB(A) when idling on desktop against a silent background of 22.4 dB(A). In comparison, fan noise would be much quieter at just 22.9 dB(A) if on Optimus mode. You'll therefore want to keep the system in Optimus mode for undemanding tasks like web browsing or video streaming.
Running Witcher 3 on Performance mode with the dGPU active would result in a fan noise of just under 49 dB(A) which is quieter than on many other 16-inch gaming laptops including the thicker RTX 4090-powered Neo 16 or Lenovo Legion Pro 7 16. Nonetheless, fan noise can still reach an even louder 55 dB(A) if the title is much more demanding.

Temperature
Surface temperatures when gaming are relatively cool when compared to other 16-inch gaming laptops. The Asus ROG Strix G16, for example, can reach over 54 C whereas the hot spots on the Uniwill top out at 40 C on the top and 45 C on the bottom. Temperatures are cooler than on the RTX 4090-powered Neo 16 by a few degrees C as well when under similar gaming loads.
(+) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 38.2 °C / 101 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 45 °C / 113 F, compared to the average of 43.3 °C / 110 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 28.9 °C / 84 F, compared to the device average of 33.9 °C / 93 F.
(±) Playing The Witcher 3, the average temperature for the upper side is 32.7 °C / 91 F, compared to the device average of 33.9 °C / 93 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 26.4 °C / 79.5 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(+) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.9 °C / 84 F (+2.5 °C / 4.5 F).

Stress Test
When stressed under Prime95, the CPU would boost to 4 GHz and 130 W for the first few minutes only. Thereafter, clock rates and board power draw would dip to 3.4 GHz and 122 W, respectively. Core temperature would hover around 90 C which is very warm even for a gaming laptop. Running this same test on the Razer Blade 16, for example, would result in a CPU temperature much closer to 80 C.
CPU and GPU temperature when running Witcher 3 would stabilize at 83 C and 73 C, respectively, compared to 78 C each on the Blade 16. GPU board power draw would stabilize at just 100 W compared to its 140 W TGP rating.
Running on battery power limits performance as expected. A Fire Strike test on batteries would return Physics and Graphics scores of 9314 and 11777 points, respectively, compared to 36091 and 31354 points when on mains.

Energy Management
Power Consumption
Power consumption should be less than the faster RTX 4090-equipped Neo 16 in all cases, but this is strangely not true. Idling on desktop would demand between 12 W and 32 W compared to just 8 W and 28 W on the RTX 4090-powered Neo 16. We double-checked our power profiles and brightness settings but the results would not improve.
Running higher loads like games draws 24 to 37 percent less power than the Neo 16. The mobile RTX 4070 is about 35 to 45 percent slower than the mobile RTX 4090 and so the lower consumption is not unexpected.
Running Prime95 and FurMark simultaneously would cause consumption to cycle heavily from as low as 167 W up to 298 W even though the large (~18 x 8.4 x 3.5 cm) AC adapter is rated for 280 W. Consumption would be much more stable when repeating this test on the RTX 4090-equipped Neo 16 as shown by the comparison chart below.

Pros
Cons
Verdict
The Uniwill GM6PX7X is a solid 16-inch gaming laptop even if it doesn't excel in any particular category. The system is lightweight, for example, but the Gigabyte Aero 16 is lighter still. Color coverage approaches 100 percent sRGB, but even deeper P3 colors are available on the Asus ROG Strix G16 or Razer Blade 16. Graphics performance is great for the size, but the lack of Advanced Optimus or G-Sync support on the internal monitor is a thorn to the experience. Zone-based RGB backlighting is supported, but per-key RGB lighting is tied to an optional Cherry mechanical upgrade. Meanwhile, configuring with the faster GeForce RTX 4080 or 4090 entails a thicker and heavier chassis which negates one of the key benefits of the Uniwill GM6PX7X design. There are no notable weaknesses or standout features to the Uniwill which gives it a sense of consistency that some gamers might appreciate.
The Uniwill GM6PX7X is a no-frills gaming laptop that's above average in most every category, but it lacks the oomph or eye-catching feature to help stand out from the crowd.
We can still commend the model for its full-size numpad and arrow keys and rare support for an optional external water cooler. These same keyboard keys tend to be smaller and more cramped on other gaming laptops. Enthusiasts may want to consider the higher-end RTX 4080 or 4090 SKUs to better exploit the optional water cooling.
Price and Availability
The Uniwill GM6PX7X is now shipping under several different names and prices depending on the region. Schenker, for example, offers the chassis under the brand name XMG Neo 16.
