MagyarEurocom C315 Blitz laptop review: Core i7-1360P is a mixed bag
The C315 Blitz is an entry-level to midrange thin-and-light multimedia laptop from Eurocom based on the Schenker Work 15 chassis design. SKUs range between the Core i5-1340P or Core i7-1360P with either a 1080p or 2160p (4K) display. Our specific review unit is a higher-end configuration with the Core i7 and 4K options.
Alternatives to the C315 Blitz include other 15.6-inch multimedia or office laptops like the Acer Aspire 5 A515 or Asus VivoBook S15.

Case
The chassis remains identical to last year's Schenker Work 15 as both are based on the same chassis. Note that only one of the two USB-C ports supports Thunderbolt, USB-C charging, and DisplayPort-out.
(December 4, 2023 update: Eurocom has stated that the printed "Clevo X170KM" labeling on the bottom of the C315 Blitz is an error.)

Webcam
Though Eurocom advertises a 2 MP webcam, the Windows camera app only allows you to select up to 1 MP or 720p30 recording at a maximum.
Users can also configure with no camera at all for privacy concerns.
(December 4, 2023 update: Eurocom has stated that the 2 MP webcam selection was an error in the configurator. This has since been fixed.)
Maintenance
Warranty
The standard one-year limited warranty applies if purchased in the US. Eurocom offers optional extension plans of up to three years.
Display
Our Eurocom configuration sports a higher resolution 4K panel than the 1080p panel on our Schenker. However, black-white response times have not improved and so ghosting remains noticeable. Unfortunately, the C315 Blitz offers no options with HDR, full DCI-P3, AdobeRGB coverage or panels with higher refresh rates.
The screen on our specific review unit suffers from extreme backlight bleeding along the bottom edge as shown by the pictures below. We recommend double-checking your purchases to make sure that there are no screen issues.

The display does not come pre-calibrated. However, Eurocom offers calibration services as optional for users who don't have access to colorimeters. We're able to get average deltaE values down to <2 with our own X-Rite colorimeter.

Performance
Testing Conditions
We set Windows to Performance mode prior to running the benchmarks below. The system includes no specialized "control center" software for adjusting any auxiliary features or additional power profiles.
Processor
The Core i7-1360P is a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand, it offers similar performance to the older and more demanding Core i7-11370H in the Schenker Work 15. But on the other hand, it falls short of alternatives like the Core i7-1355U or Ryzen 7 5700U. It also suffers from throttling as our initial CineBench R15 xT score of 1079 points would drop by about 21 percent when running the benchmark in a loop.
The Core i7 CPU is definitely underperforming on our Eurocom. The Core i5-1340P in the Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 16, for example, would run 50 to 70 pervcent faster according to several multi-thread benchmarks.

The drive in our unit is able to sustain a maximum of 7100 MB/s with no throttling issues. The included thermal pad on the SSD allows heat to dissipate onto the metal bottom plate.

GPU Performance
The integrated Iris Xe 96 EUs is performing slightly below average when compared to other laptops with the same GPU. In fact, our Schenker Work 15 with the older Core i7-11370H would return higher 3DMark scores than our Eurocom despite their similar GPUs.

Emissions
System Noise
Fan noise behavior needs additional tuning. When connected to mains, the fan would occasionally pulse between silent and 35 dB(A) even when idling on desktop on Power Saver mode. Only when running on battery power will the fan remain silent with no unnecessary pulsing. Otherwise, fan noise when running demanding loads like games is almost identical to what we observed on the Schenker Work 15 with the older Core H-series CPU.

Temperature
Surface temperatures are a bit cooler on average than what we observed on the Schenker Work 15. When running demanding loads, for example, hot spots near the rear of the chassis would only reach 35 C to 38 C compared to 43 C on the Schenker.
(+) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 35.6 °C / 96 F, compared to the average of 34.2 °C / 94 F, ranging from 21.2 to 62.5 °C for the class Office.
(+) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 37.8 °C / 100 F, compared to the average of 36.7 °C / 98 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 22.8 °C / 73 F, compared to the device average of 29.5 °C / 85 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 26.6 °C / 79.9 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(±) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 27.7 °C / 81.9 F (+1.1 °C / 2 F).

Stress Test
When initiating Prime95 stress, the CPU would boost to 2.4 GHz, 47 W, and 85 W for just a few seconds before falling and stabilizing at 800 MHz - 1.3 GHz, 15 W, and 65 W. The steep performance drop aligns with our CineBench R15 xT loop results above. We expected better performance sustainability since the Core P-series is supposed to be a step in between the slower U-series and more powerful H-series, but its behavior in our Eurocom is typical of most U-series CPUs instead.
Core temperature would stabilize at around 65 C when running demanding loads compared to 78 C on the Schenker Work 15 with the older Core i7-11730H.

Energy Management
Power Consumption
Idling on desktop would draw a few watts more than on the Schenker Work 15 likely due to our higher resolution 4K display. However, consumption would be about the same on average when running higher loads despite any performance or temperature differences between the Core i7-1360P and Core i7-11370H.
We're able to record a maximum draw of 87 W from the small (~12.5 x 4.8 x 3 cm) 90 W AC adapter when the CPU is at 100 percent utilization. This demand is only temporary before throttling kicks in as shown by our power consumption graphs below.

Battery Life
WLAN runtime is noticeably shorter than on the older Schenker Work 15 by over 2 hours. The discrepancy can be attributed to our higher resolution 4K display. Our Core-P CPU would also boost to higher clock rates and consumption levels than the older 11th gen Core i7 to impact battery life even more.
Charging from empty to full capacity takes just over 90 minutes.

Pros
Cons
Verdict — CPU Performance Could Use Some Work
The Core i7-1360P helps to distinguish the Eurocom C315 Blitz from most other laptops as this CPU option is somewhat uncommon. Unfortunately, the processor throttles too heavily on the Eurocom to the point where overall performance can be identical to the Core i7-11370H or even slower than the less expensive Core i5-1340P. The LG Gram 2-in-1 16, which ships with the same Core i7-1360P option, is able to run the CPU up to 80 percent faster than our Eurocom.
The Eurocom C315 Blitz is dragged down by the throttle-prone Core i7-1360P CPU and lack of display options.
Other major aspects of the model are lacking in terms of features. The 4K panel, for example, offers no DCI-P3 colors, high refresh rates, or HDR support which certain professionals or multimedia users might value. Battery life and webcam quality are also merely average or underwhelming.
The Clevo X170KM base could certainly use a facelift with additional performance tuning, fan noise tuning, and display features especially when you consider the $1300 USD starting price. The $1000 to $1500 range is already extremely competitive in this space with professional options like the Lenovo ThinkPad L15, HP ProBook, or the Dell Latitude series.
Price and Availability
Eurocom is now shipping the C315 Blitz starting at $1300 USD for the base configuration to over $2500 if configured with 64 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD like ours.
