Medion Erazer Beast 18 X1 laptop review: How does the RTX 5080 perform in the gaming giant?

Medion is aiming high.

With a price tag exceeding $4,000, the Erazer Beast 18 X1 MD62731 is mainly targeted at passionate gamers with the proper budget. In return, it provides the latest high-end hardware from Intel and Nvidia. We compare the 18-inch model with its competitors and other variants based on the latest CPU/GPU.

Verdict - The Beast 18 X1 is good, but with room for improvement

If you want a powerful desktop replacement, you might like the Erazer Beast 18 X1. Although the 18-incher can get extremely loud under load (even in balanced mode), like many other gaming laptops, users who are not very sensitive to noise and/or who are gaming with a headset anyway will be able to put up with the volume. The massive device cuts a solid figure and scores points with a rather lavish connectivity, including Thunderbolt 5, an RGB keyboard, and stylish light strips on the side and rear (see photos). The input devices are decent to good, but the model is really not able to impress here.

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5080 laptop performs within the expected range, whereas Intel's Core Ultra 9 275HX loses some performance under prolonged load (more on this in a moment). The competition includes the Aorus Master 18 and the Asus ROG Strix Scar 18, which we tested with the more powerful RTX 5090 laptop.

Pros

+ two RAM banks & two M.2 slots
+ colorful 240 Hz display
+ fast card reader
+ good battery life
+ Privacy shutter
+ Thunderbolt 5
+ PCIe 5 SSD

Cons

- RTX 5080 partly barely faster than predecessor
- fluctuating CPU performance
- poor fan control
- high latencies

Case

In terms of quality, Medion delivers the usual average fare. While the lid of the 18-incher is made of aluminum, the base unit is made of plastic. Despite the relatively thicker construction, the latter can be bent slightly in some places, but this primarily only happens when more pressure is applied. On the other hand, the generous opening angle of 150° deserves praise, although the hinges could be a little tighter. With an overall height of just under 3 cm (without case feet), the Beast 18 X1 aligns with its counterparts from Aorus and Asus, although the weight is somewhat higher at 3.6 to 3.3-3.4 kg.

Equipment

The selection of interfaces is impressive, as befits a desktop replacement. In addition to two USB-A ports (3.2 Gen1), there are also two Type-C ports, one of which supports the Thunderbolt 5 interface. There is also an audio socket, an HDMI 2.1 output, a pleasingly fast card reader, and a 2.5 Gbit network port. Wireless connections are handled by an Intel Wi-Fi 7 chip (BE200), which scored particularly well in the test with its speed. Meanwhile, the FHD webcam does not generate any cheers, but does offer physical coverage, which is not a given. Maintenance of the Erazer Beast 18 X1 is moderately easy or difficult: After removing 11 Phillips screws, the base plate can be levered out of its anchoring, revealing a cooling system with three fans. Both of the two RAM slots are occupied, but there is still room for the M.2 slots.

Input devices

The chiclet keyboard has a dedicated numpad and impresses with normal-sized directional arrows and (in the top right corner) practical special keys for fan control. The feedback and key feel seem acceptable to us; the Aorus Master 18, for example, performs even better here. The clickpad could be more stable here and there, but with a size of around 13 x 8 cm, it is appropriately sized for an 18-inch product.

Display

Medion does not use an OLED or mini-LED panel, but instead relies on a classic IPS display, which nevertheless delivers a good performance in most disciplines.

Display Response Times

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
7.3 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 2.2 ms rise
↘ 5.1 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 19 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (20.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
5.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 2.7 ms rise
↘ 2.9 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 15 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.2 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

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 8389 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Performance

The Beast 18 X1 not only belongs to the high-end segment in terms of price, but also in terms of performance. 32 GB of RAM is just as adequate in 2025 as a 2 TB SSD, although you could expect (even) more for over $4,000. Incidentally, Medion also offers the Beast 18 X1 with the mobile RTX 5090 for ~$5,650.

Test conditions

There are three operating modes in the Erazer Control Center, some of which significantly impact emissions and speed. Since the 18-incher is almost absurdly loud in Performance mode with over 60 dB(A) in places, we limited ourselves to the equally audible Balanced mode for the measurements, which consumes slightly more CPU than GPU power (see table).

Processor

If you take the balanced mode as a basis, the installed Core Ultra 9 275HX, which contains 8 performance cores and 16 efficiency cores (each without Hyper-Threading), performs slightly below the average value determined so far for this CPU and roughly reaches the level of the Aorus Master 18 (also wasn't tested in maximum mode because of the heavy background noise). It is particularly unfortunate that the results in the Cinebench loop drop by several percent over time, which was not the case with the competitor devices.

System performance

When it comes to system performance, the difference between the competitors is limited. Subjectively, we sometimes notice hangs when opening programs, which, as is often the case, is probably due to graphics switching. Nvidia's Blackwell generation, or its current driver, has a bigger problem here than Ada Lovelace (we also noticed the same with the Aorus Master 18).

Graphics card

The GeForce RTX 5080 laptop is currently Nvidia's second most powerful notebook model from the Blackwell series after the RTX 5090 laptop. However, the latter only has a limited advantage in our 3DMark course when you look at the competition. Conversely, the RTX 5080 is not much faster than the old RTX 4080 laptop, which can at least keep up well in synthetic tests. Meanwhile, 16 GB GDDR7 VRAM is not a revelation for the price range, but it is still better than the 12 GB GDDR6X of the predecessor. The TGP level can reach a maximum of 175 watts.

Gaming performance

In gaming benchmarks, the gaps between the competitor devices are somewhat larger, but in practice, you will often not notice much of this. Basically, the mobile RTX 5080 is fast enough to run most modern games smoothly in maximum details and the native QHD+ resolution. Things only get tight with very demanding or moderately optimized titles, such as The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered. The use of upscaling (keyword DLSS) and/or (multi) frame generation is recommended here. With the Stalker 2, the frame rate in QHD doubles as a result (see table).

Emissions

Noise emissions

One of the biggest criticisms of the Beast 18 X1 is its modest fan control. Even when using the Balanced mode, the cooling system sometimes reaches an unpleasant 40 dB(A) or even higher in idle mode, which could annoy many users in the long run. Under load, the noise values are already reached with the Balanced profile, which some competitors only generate in Performance mode (compare the Strix Scar 18, for example).
