Verdict - One of the fastest RTX 5090 notebooks
The Medion Erazer Beast 16 X1 is certainly no bargain: For the top version MD62732 with Core Ultra 9 275HX, GeForce RTX 5090, 32 GB RAM and 2 TB SSD, you have to put more than 4,000 Euros (~$4539) on the table at the time of testing. We will analyze whether the surcharge compared to RTX 5080 devices is worth it in the course of this article. All in all, the 16-inch laptop received a "very good" rating, which is due to its performance, display and casing. The mini LED panel in 16:10 format (2,560 x 1,600 pixels, 300 Hz) scores points not least with its high brightness, rich contrast and wide color gamut, which should please not only gamers but also professional users.
The chassis cuts a high-quality figure thanks to the metal insert and impresses with its good stability. The input devices and connections are not bad either. The Erazer Beast 16 X1 offers a Thunderbolt 4 port, among other things. There are few points of criticism, but what bothered us the most in the test was the hefty noise development under load. Unfortunately, this shortcoming affects almost all gaming laptops.
If you want to get even more out of the laptop, you can purchase the optional Erazer Cooling Kit V2 for around 250 Euros (~$284). We will be publishing a separate article with a few suitable measurements shortly.
Pros
Cons
Price and availability
The Erazer Beast 16 X1 Ultimate MD62732 is available for around 4,300 Euros (~$4879) on the Medion homepage (currently reduced to 4,090 Euros/~4641).
16-inch counterparts that also contain an RTX 5000 GPU are, for example, the HP Omen Max 16, the Asus ROG Strix Scar 16, the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 16 and the Asus ROG Strix G16which all appear in the tables as comparison devices. However, the main competitor is the more or less identical XMG Neo 16 E25.
Specifications
Case
As mentioned at the beginning, the casing leaves a very good impression. Medion has opted for a chassis from Tonfang, which remains pleasantly stable even under heavy pressure and generally has a very elegant feel. The design with its shapes and edges offers a nice mix of elegance and playfulness, and lighting fans can look forward to a stylish LED strip on the front (see photos). At 2.8 kg (~6.2 lbs), the weight is neither low nor particularly high, comparable to the Strix Scar 16 and Omen Max 16. At 3 cm the height is not excessive. The generous opening angle of 180° deserves special respect - not every competitor can manage this.
Features
The Beast 16 X1 can boast all kinds of modern interfaces. 2.5 Gbit LAN is just as up-to-date as HDMI 2.1, (mini) DisplayPort 2.1a and Thunderbolt 4, as well as a USB-C 3.2 Gen2 port, two USB-A 3.2 Gen1 ports, an audio socket and a very fast card reader. The input for the external water cooling system is also located at the rear. There is also nothing to criticize about the performance of the wireless module; although the AX211 chip from Intel does not support Wi-Fi 7, it still achieves high to very high speeds.
We would describe the image quality of the webcam as average: Thanks to its Full HD resolution, it is somewhat sharper than the HD cams of some competitors, but you shouldn't expect miracles. Medion deserves plus points for the physical coverage. The Beast 16 X1 can be serviced after removing 10 Phillips screws and the casing base. The 16-inch model accommodates two SO-DIMM banks and two M.2-2280 slots (1x PCIe 5, 1x PCIe 4), which are each hidden under heat sinks. Speaking of the cooling system: the gaming machine is equipped with three fans.

Input devices
The keyboard of the Beast 16 X1 impresses with its very good feedback, which is almost on par with mechanical models. There is a dedicated numeric keypad on the right-hand side, whose keys are slightly narrower than the rest. Fans of directional arrows will rejoice at the normal dimensions of these keys. The built-in lighting (per-key RGB) can be adjusted to several levels.
The touchpad is largely inconspicuous in a positive sense in terms of precision, gliding properties and gesture support. With a size of 12.4 x 7.6 cm (~4.9 x 3.0 in), it has been adequately dimensioned. The click areas at the lower edge do trigger somewhat loudly, but have a solid (haptic) feedback similar to the keyboard.
Display
One of the biggest highlights of the Beast 16 X1 is its first-class mini LED display. Even out of the box, the 16-inch screen offers a fairly high level of color accuracy.

* ... smaller is better
In general, the color space coverage of 100% sRGB or DCI-P3 and 87% AdobeRGB is impressive, although this also applies to the OLED or IPS panels of the competition. In terms of brightness (we tested in SDR mode; HDR can also be activated if desired), the Beast 16 X1 and the Neo 16 take the lead with an average of 821 cd/m², which is an excellent result.
In combination with the low black level, this results in excellent contrast. The response times are more on the level of a typical IPS panel.
Unfortunately, the screen struggles with flickering up to a brightness level of 92%. However, the frequency is so high that even sensitive people should not have any problems.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 20457 Hz Amplitude: 100 % | ≤ 92 % brightness setting |  |
The display backlight flickers at 20457 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 92 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 20457 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8350 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||
Performance
The Beast 16 X1 is available with either the RTX 5090 Laptop or the RTX 5080 Laptop so it belongs to the high-end segment in either case. With the latter GPU, the device costs around 1,000 Euros (~$1135) less, the surcharge for the RTX 5090 version is correspondingly high.
Test conditions
Practical: A special button (next to the power button) can be used to quickly switch between the operating modes. "Silence" lights up green, "Balance" blue and "Gaming" purple. The effects on the noise level and performance can be seen in the table below. With the exception of the battery test, our measurements were completed with the Gaming profile. There still seems to be a bug in the Erazer Control Center, which can also be used to switch modes: After (re)starting the notebook, only the Silent profile is ever selected here - at least in terms of the display.
| Erazer Control Center Mode | Silence | Balance | Gaming |
| Cyberpunk 2077 Noise | 42 dB(A) | 48 dB(A) | 55 dB(A) |
| Cyberpunk 2077 Performance (FHD/Ultra) | 83.8 fps | 148.6 fps | 158.5 fps |
| Cinebench R15 Multi Score | 3318 Points | 4494 Points | 6067 Points |
Processor
The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX from the Arrow Lake generation leaves mixed feelings in the Beast 16 X1. At first glance, the results are at the expected level or even higher in some cases. However, as our Cinebench loop has shown, performance dips occur in the meantime under prolonged load, which the competition is spared from.

GPU performance
Compared to the RTX 5080, the RTX 5090 offers a full 24 GB of GDDR7 VRAM instead of 16 GB. In the GPU tests, the Beast 16 X1 delivers a very good performance and is often a few percent ahead of the competition or the previously determined average for the RTX 5090. However, the RTX 5080 is only partially left behind when you look at the opponents.

Gaming performance
The situation is similar in the gaming tests. Here too, the RTX 5090 sometimes performs barely faster than the RTX 5080, especially at moderate resolutions (Full HD).

When using QHD resolutions, the distances increase and there are usually still enough reserves for maximum settings. Of the games tested, only F1 25 (with path tracing) and the moderately optimized Oblivion Remastered were not above the 60 FPS mark. If things get tight in the future, upscaling and (multi) frame generation can help. The performance increases that are possible as a result can be seen in the table below; including DLSS Quality and FG, the frame rate doubles in Stalker 2 for example.

Stress test
Our stress test with the FurMark and Prime95 tools was managed acceptably by the CPU and GPU at around 80 °C (176 °F). The temperatures were slightly higher in Cyberpunk 2077 due to the higher clock rates.
Speakers
The sound system of the Beast 16 X1 is surprisingly good by notebook standards and in no way has to hide behind its competitors. Compared to the HP Omen Max 16, the maximum volume is also higher.
