Case - The X20 comes with a metal chassis

Medion relies on the chic, matte-black metal case for the X20, which we already know from the X10. There is only a small difference between the chassis: The webcam is located below the display in the X10, and above the display in the X20. Both chassis have a slim display bezel. The innards can be accessed after removing the bottom shell. The battery is permanently installed.

The notebook is well manufactured. The gaps are correct and there are no material protrusions. Stability and rigidity are pleasing: The base unit cannot be twisted, the lid to a small extent. However, the latter is completely within limits. Pressure on the lid's back doesn't lead to image changes. The hinges keep the lid firmly in position. The maximum opening angle is around 130 degrees. Opening the lid with one hand is possible.

Within our comparison field, the Erazer represents the most compact and lightest device.

Features - The Erazer Beast does not have Thunderbolt

While the USB-C slot of the Erazer Beast X10 supports Thunderbolt 3, the corresponding slot of the X20 "only" works with the USB 3.2 Gen 2 standard. The latter offers DisplayPort via USB-C. Thus, the laptop has two video outputs together with the HDMI 2.1 slot, three USB-A ports (2x USB 3.1 Gen 1, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2), two audio jacks (headphone output, microphone input), a Gigabit Ethernet slot, and an opening for a cable lock.

Communication

The WLAN chip (Intel AX201) supports the 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax standards and offers Bluetooth 5 functionality. The data rates determined under optimal conditions (no other WLAN devices in the near vicinity, short distance between notebook and server PC) turn out good to very good. Wired network connections are handled by a Gigabit Ethernet chip (RTL8125) from Realtek.

Accessories

The notebook comes with the usual documents: a quick start guide and warranty information.

Maintenance

After removing all screws on the bottom of the device, the bottom tray of our test device can be removed quite easily. You might need a joint smoother or a thin spatula to remove the bottom shell in other models. After that, there is access to the working memory banks (both occupied), the two M.2-2280 slots (one occupied), the WLAN module, the fans, the BIOS battery and the battery.

Warranty

Medion grants the Erazer a two-year warranty. Warranty extensions are not available.

Input devices - Keyboard with RGB lighting

Keyboard

The concave keys of the illuminated chiclet keyboard offer a short stroke and a clear pressure point. The resistance could be a bit crisper for our taste. Good: The keyboard does not bounce during typing. The four-level key illumination (RGB) is controlled via two function keys. All in all, Medion delivers a keyboard that is suitable for everyday use.

Touchpad

A multitouch-capable ClickPad (approx. 13.2 x 7.5 cm/~5.2 x 3.0 in) serves as a mouse replacement. Its smooth surface makes it easy for the fingers to glide. The pad also responds to inputs in the corners. It offers a short stroke and a clear pressure point.

Display - 165 Hz IPS

While the average brightness (340.7 cd/m²) of the matte 17.3-inch screen (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) meets the target (> 300 cd/m²), the contrast (881:1) is a bit too low. We consider values beyond 1000:1 to be good. The 165 Hz panel has short response times and does not exhibit PWM flickering.

* ... smaller is better

The screen shows a good color reproduction in its state of delivery and meets the target with a color deviation of just under 1.8 (Delta E less than 3). It does not suffer from a blue cast. Slight improvements can be achieved with a calibration. The deviation drops to 1.3 and the grayscale levels are displayed more balanced. The sRGB color space is reproduced to 99%, the AdobeRGB color space to 71%.

Display Response Times

ℹ

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
9.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 4.4 ms rise
9.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 5.2 ms fall
The screen shows fast response rates in our tests and should be suited for gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 18 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (22.3 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
16 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 8.4 ms rise
16 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 7.6 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 21 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (35.1 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

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 19046 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

The viewing-angle stable IPS panel can be read from any position. Outdoor reading of the display is possible when the sun does not shine too brightly.

Performance - Eight-core power

Medion's Erazer Beast X20 is a 17.3-inch gaming notebook that brings every current game smoothly to the screen.

Test conditions

The pre-installed Control Center allows choosing a performance profile ("Balanced", "Enthusiast", "Overboost"), among other things. We used the "Enthusiast" profile and the automatic fan control. The battery tests were performed with the "Balanced" profile active. A button next to the power button allows quick switching between the performance profiles.

	Balanced	Enthusiast	Overboost
Power Limit 1	35 Watt	60 Watt	75 Watt
Power Limit 2	35 Watt	60 Watt	75 Watt

Five subprofiles can - but do not have to - be defined for each of the three performance profiles. For example, the CPU's power limits, the GPU's TGP and/or the temperature upper limits could be adjusted to individual usage scenarios.

Processor

The Core i7-10870H eight-core processor (Comet Lake) works with a base clock of 2.2 GHz. An increase to 4.2 GHz (eight cores) to 5 GHz (one core) is possible via Turbo. Hyperthreading (two threads per core) is supported.

The processor runs the CPU tests of the Cinebench R15 benchmark with 2.2 to 3.8 GHz (multi-thread) and 4 to 4.7 GHz (single-thread). In battery mode, the CPU runs at 2.3 to 2.5 GHz (multi-thread) and 1.8 to 3.8 GHz (single-thread).

Despite two additional CPU cores, the Core i7 achieves roughly the same test results as the one in the Erazer Beast X10, a Core i7-10750H six-core processor (Comet Lake). The relatively low power limits are responsible for this. The power limits would have to be increased via the Control Center for more multi-thread performance. This has hardly any impact on the single-thread performance.

The CPU remains stable at maximum power limits (PL1/PL2: 120 watts). We additionally ran some benchmarks under these conditions. The results can be found in the comparison tables.

We check whether the CPU Turbo is used permanently in mains operation by running the multi-thread test of the Cinebench R15 benchmark in a loop for at least 30 minutes. The Turbo is used on medium level. Increasing the power limits to 120 watts causes the Turbo clock to increase.

The overclocking of the working memory would be possible

The BIOS of the computer offers the possibility of memory overclocking. The whole thing is done at your own risk. Possible damage would be the owner's responsibility. However, the corresponding overclocking option has to be enabled via the Control Center first.

Mass storage

An NVMe SSD (M.2-2280) from Phison serves as the system drive. It provides 2 TB of storage space and delivers very good transfer rates. The notebook still has room for a second NVMe-SSD.

The notebook offers space for two NVMe SSDs.

Graphics card

The actual performance of an RTX-3000 graphics core depends on the maximum TGP that a notebook manufacturer chooses within the limits defined by Nvidia. Medion grants the GeForce-RTX-3070-Laptop-GPU (Overview of all RTX-3070 laptops including the TGPs) the possible TGP maximum of 140 watts (125 watts + 15 watts Dynamic Boost).

The 3DMark results are on an average level compared with the RTX 3070 notebooks tested so far. The Erazer does not quite reach the results of the MSI GP76 Leopard 10UG even when the TGP is fully enabled manually (see comparison table) - an indication that the Dynamic Boost is not used much or not at all. This is also confirmed by the Witcher 3 test. For cross-checking, we only ran the "FurMark" tool and were able to measure the maximum TGP of 140 watts.

The integrated UHD Graphics 630-GPU is active and the notebook works with Nvidia's Optimus switching graphics solution. Both iGPU and dGPU could be disabled. The BIOS of the computer offers three options: "MSHybrid" (= Optimus), "iGPU Only" (= UHD Graphics 630), "dGPU Only" (= RTX 3070).

Gaming performance

The computer brings all current games smoothly to the screen. The full screen resolution (2,560 x 1,440 pixels) and high to maximum quality settings can usually be selected.

Compared with the RTX 3070 notebooks tested so far, the Beast X20 does decently and delivers (slightly) above-average frame rates. Manually setting the TGP to the maximum of 140 watts lets the rates increase a bit more.

To check whether the frame rates remain largely constant over a longer period, we run the game "The Witcher 3" for about 60 minutes with Full HD resolution and maximum quality settings. The game character is not moved. A drop in the frame rates is not noticed.
