Case - Medion uses a metal chassis for the Erazer

Using a slim, matte black metal case reminiscent of previous models, Medion has opted for an unobtrusive design with mostly matte surfaces throughout. Only the surface of the bottom shell has a rough feel. A freely configurable LED band (RGB) on the bottom front edge of the case facing the user provides some color. The battery is installed in the device (screwed, not glued). The interior is accessible upon removing the bottom shell.

The well-manufactured case has even gaps and there are no protrusions and/or sharp edges. Another positive aspect is that the base unit cannot be twisted. The screen, however, twists a little, but this is completely within limits. The hinges hold the lid firmly in position but also teeter a little. The maximum opening angle is around 130 degrees. One-hand opening of the lid is possible.

The Erazer is the lightest device in our comparison field. In terms of size, it is on par with the Blade 17 and the Uniwill notebook.

Communication

The WLAN transfer rates determined under optimal conditions (no other WLAN devices in the immediate vicinity, short distance between notebook and server PC) are excellent and reflect the capabilities of the inbuilt WiFi chip (Intel AX201; 802.11 ax). Wired network connections are handled by a Gigabit Ethernet chip (RTL8125) from Realtek.

Webcam

Medion offers something new in regard to the webcam: the X30 comes with a 2.1 MP camera (predecessor: 0.9 MP), which produces images at a maximum resolution of 1920x1080. However, there is a problem with color accuracy: the colors deviate significantly from the target values. The camera also does not have a mechanical shutter.

Acccessories

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

Maintenance

After removing all the screws on the laptop's underside, the bottom shell can be removed quite easily. A flat spatula may be needed to remove the bottom shell. You then have access to the main memory banks (both occupied), the SSD (PCIe 4), the second M.2-2280 slot (PCIe 4), the WLAN module, the fans, the BIOS battery and the laptop battery.

Warranty

The Erazer comes with a two-year warranty from Medion. An extension of the warranty by one to two years is also possible but the costs could not be found on the Medion website.

Input devices - The keyboard offers RGB lighting

Keyboard

The concave keys of the illuminated chiclet keyboard have a short travel distance and a clear pressure point. Key resistance is acceptable. A positive point: The keyboard does not yield while typing. The four-stage key illumination (RGB) is controlled via two function keys. Overall, Medion delivers a keyboard that is suitable for everyday use.

Touchpad

The smooth surface of the multi-touch clickpad (approx. 13.2 x 7.5cm) makes finger gliding easy. It offers short travel and a clear pressure point. In the upper left corner of the pad is an LED that provides information about the pad status (on/off). In this area, the pad does not react to input.

Display - Medion notebook with responsive IPS panel

The brightness (352.1 cd/m²) and the contrast ratio (1,178:1) of the matte 17.3-inch screen (2560x1440) are on target. Another positive point is that the 240 Hz panel installed in the test unit has short response times and does not show PWM flickering (the current models on sale so far, however, only have 165 Hz panels).

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
8.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 3.2 ms rise
↘ 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 (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
14.7 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 7 ms rise
↘ 7.7 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 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 23 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (33.9 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 18071 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

The viewing-angle-stable IPS panel can be read from any position. It can also be read outdoors if the sun is not too bright.

Test Conditions

The X30 has three manufacturer-specific performance profiles (Office Mode, Game Mode, Turbo Mode) and the user can alternate between these via a separate button (next to the power button). The battery tests were conducted under Office Mode and the benchmarks under the standard Game Mode profile. Some benchmarks were also run under the other profiles. All results can be found in the comparison diagrams.

The pre-installed Control Center allows the profiles to be adjusted. For example, the power limits of the CPU, the TGP of the GPU and/or the upper temperature limits can be changed. Up to five sub-profiles can also be created per profile in order to map specific application or usage scenarios.

Turbo Mode Game Mode Office Mode
Power Limit 1 120 Watt 120 Watt 35 Watt
Power Limit 2 120 Watt 120 Watt 35 Watt

Processor

The inbuilt Core i9-12900HK processor (Alder Lake) consists of six performance cores (hyperthreading, 2.5 to 5 GHz) and eight efficiency cores (no hyperthreading, 1.8 to 3.8 GHz), making for a total of 20 logical CPU cores. Thanks to a free multiplier, nothing stands in the way of overclocking the CPU.

Both the multi-thread test (P-cores: 4.1 to 4.2 GHz, E-cores: 3.1 to 3.2 GHz) and the single-thread test (P-cores: 1.4 up to 4.3 GHz, E cores: 1.5 to 3.7 GHz) of the Cinbench R15 benchmark were run at high clock speeds.

The CPU delivers only below-average single-thread performance by 12900HK standards, as it does not run at maximum clock speed (P: 4.3 to 5 GHz; E: 3.8 GHz). Perhaps Medion can and should improve this with a BIOS update. The Uniwill notebook, based on the same barebone as the X30, gets 10 to 15 percent more single-thread performance out of the Core i9 12900H CPU (corresponding to the 12900HK only without a free multiplier) with significantly lower power limits.

Multi-Thread (mains operation)
Multi-Thread (mains operation)
Single-Thread (battery operation)
Single-Thread (battery operation)

We checked whether the CPU Turbo is used continuously in mains operation by running the multi-thread test of the Cinebench R15 benchmark in a loop. High clock speeds can be maintained continuously. Turbo Mode does not bring about any improvements. Increasing the power limits (1 and 2) to 140 watts provides a minimal increase in CPU power.

GPU

The actual performance of an RTX-3000 GPU depends on a few factors: Cooling, memory configuration and the maximum TGP that a notebook manufacturer chooses within the limits defined by Nvidia. Medion grants the installed GeForce RTX 3080 Ti laptop GPU a maximum TGP of 175 watts (150 watts + 25 watts Dynamic Boost). The GPU can draw on fast GDDR6 graphics memory (16,384 MB).

According to the Witcher 3 test, the GPU exhausts its TGP (150 watts). The Dynamic Boost, which is set at a default maximum of 5 watts via the Control Center, shows little use or none at all. Benchmark results are above the RTX-3080-Ti average determined thus far. A manual increase of the Dynamic Boost to up to 25 watts leads to slight improvements at best. The Razer Blade 17, equipped with the same GPU, performs slightly better across the board.

The Control Center and BIOS of the X30 allow the deactivation of the switching graphics solution (Optimus) used here. Only then the GeForce GPU comes into operation, which brings minimal advantages at best in terms of graphics performance.

Gaming Performance

The inbuilt hardware runs all current games smoothly at native screen resolution (2560x1,440) and at maximum settings. Higher resolutions can also be handled with a corresponding monitor - at partially reduced quality settings. Refresh rates are above the RTX 3080 Ti average. Deactivating Optimus causes a slight increase in frame rates in some cases.

The GeForce GPU's "Whispermode 2.0" is responsible for the low refresh rates when the Office Mode profile is active. This is intended to achieve the lowest possible noise level with frame rate levels acceptable for gaming (at least 30 to 60 fps). The GPU does not have to work at full power, produces less heat and the fans can slow down.

Whispermode can be adjusted via the GeForce Experience platform or the X30 Control Center. Activation/deactivation is also possible via GeForce Experience.

Emissions - The Beast roars loudly

Noise

In everyday use (office, internet), the two fans produce very little noise. Occasionally, they even stand still. However, the notebook is not completely silent: electronic crackling can sometimes be heard from the inside. Under full load, it becomes loud with maximum sound pressure levels of 53 dB(A) (stress test) and 51 dB(A) (Witcher 3 test). Noise under load can be reduced through the Office Mode profile at the expense of computing power.

Temperature

In everyday use (office, internet), case temperatures remain in the green range. Under load (stress test, Witcher 3 test) the notebook heats up considerably. At some measuring points, temperatures just above 60 degrees Celsius were registered. CPU temperatures occasionally shifted into the red range. Accordingly, the CPU clock fell significantly in the course of the test.

Stress Test

The CPU operated at high clock speeds at the beginning of the stress test (Prime95 and Furmark run for at least one hour), dropping to 1 GHz (P cores) and 1.1 GHz (E cores) as the test progressed.  The CPU cores were thus significantly below their base clock speeds, while the GPU worked with relatively constant speeds at a high level. The stress test represents an extreme scenario. We use this test to check whether the system runs stably under full load.

Both the CPU and GPU can work at continuously high clock speeds, but permanent, simultaneous operation at maximum clock speed is not possible, as is shown by the stress test. Here the idea of powerful hardware in a thin case reaches its limits, but this should not be a cause for concern because it does not really play a role in gaming. 

Speakers

The stereo speakers produce a mediocre sound with hardly any bass. The use of headphones or external speakers is recommended for a better sound experience.

Energy Management - Medion X30 delivers decent battery runtimes

Power Consumption

The X30 does not show any abnormalities in terms of power consumption. The stress test and Witcher 3 test increased power consumption to up to 290 watts and an average of 223 watts. The strongly fluctuating power consumption during the stress test is primarily due to the processor. The included power supply is sufficiently sized with a nominal power of 330 watts.

Battery Life

The 17.3-incher achieves runtimes of 5:41 h and 6:26 h in the WLAN test (loading websites using a script) and video test (short film "Big Buck Bunny" (H.264 encoding, FHD) in a loop). During both tests, the notebook's energy-saving functions were deactivated and the display brightness set to about 150 cd/m². The wireless modules were also switched off for the video test.

While the battery runtimes don't knock anyone's socks off, they are perfectly acceptable for high-performance QHD gaming. However, the X30 clearly lags behind the values of its predecessor - with the same battery. The hardware platform used here is significantly more energy-hungry. 

The battery offers a capacity of 91.24 Wh.

Medion's X30 is a slim, lightweight gaming notebook equipped with powerful hardware. A Core i9 12900HK processor and a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti laptop GPU (maxTGP: 175 watts) enable QHD gaming at maximum settings, assisted by fast PCIe-4 SSD and 32 GB of RAM.

The Erazer Beast X30 from Medion delivers a lot of notebook power, but this comes at a price.

The CPU and GPU are capable of operating at consistently high clock speeds. However, the single-thread performance is below the CPU's capabilities - perhaps Medion can improve this with a BIOS update. Noise and heat emissions are at the usual high level for the class. The Office Mode performance profile can reduce this at the expense of computing power.

The matte, viewing-angle stable 17.3-inch screen (QHD resolution) gives a good impression overall. Battery runtimes are okay. A downside: The battery cannot be charged via the USB-C slot (Thunderbolt 4), which nonetheless offers other options such as connecting an external GPU or a comprehensive docking solution.

An alternative to the X30 is the Razer Blade 17 (2022), which offers slightly more single-thread and GPU performance as well as Advanced Optimus.

Price and Availability

The reviewed version of the X30 could not be found outside Germany in any well-known online shop or price search engine at the time of publishing - the price should be between 3,700 and 3,900 Euros. The Medion shop has a slightly less powerful variant (Core i7-12700H, GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, 32 GB RAM, 2 TB SSD) for around 2,600 Euros. A slightly better equipped variant (Core i9-12900HK, GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, 64 GB RAM, 2 TB SSD) is available for just under 4000 Euros.
