Medion Erazer Crawler E40 laptop review: Affordable gamer with good RTX 4050 performance ↺

The Medion Erazer Crawler E40 replaces the E30 (featuring Intel Gen12 and RTX 30xx) and brings the series up to the current state of the art with Intel Gen 13 and RTX 4050. This entry-level gaming laptop is currently priced at just under ~US$1100.
Competing with other budget gaming laptops, the Medion Erazer Crawler E40 faces rivals such as the Lenovo LOQ 15, the Asus TUF Gaming A15, the XMG Apex 15, or the MSI Katana 15.
Medion encompasses numerous models under the "Erazer" brand, making it challenging to keep track of them all. While other manufacturers organize series in which they combine different configurations in the same case, Medion appears to believe that every configuration justifies a new series name. The Erazer Crawler E40 is only available in this specific configuration and is therefore sold only as this one model. There are no options regarding CPU, GPU, or display.
Other Medion Erazer models that we have previously tested include:

Case & Connectivity - Crawler E40 in a brushed plastic finish
The display lid and base are constructed from robust plastic that closely resembles aluminum, giving it an intentional appearance. The edges of the display and the underside of the laptop are made of soft plastic. Both the smooth lid and the base are prone to attracting fingerprints.
Featuring an entirely black design, including the Erazer logo on the lid, the laptop has a relatively simple aesthetic. The base exhibits a high level of torsional resistance, while the lid, although less so, appears notably "soft" and flexes considerably when twisted, with the display handling it stoically. The overall workmanship is of a good standard, and visible gaps are not present.
Connections - No Thunderbolt, but USB 2.0 instead
Despite featuring an Intel CPU, the E40 lacks Thunderbolt support. It includes USB-C with a speed of 10 Gb/s. However, it also incorporates an outdated USB-A 2.0 port, which could potentially be upgraded to a faster alternative. Notably, there is no card reader present.

Maintenance
To access the internal components, you need to remove 14 Phillips screws of the same size. The plastic base plate can then be easily levered off. Underneath, you'll find a cooling system with plenty of copper, a screwed battery, two RAM slots, the SSD cooled by two pads, and the replaceable WiFi module.
Input Devices - Overall solid
The keyboard layout, like that of other Medion devices reviewed this year, is quite clean. The keys, however, are rather little (1.4 cm), yet they are properly spaced. On the right, there is a numeric keypad with even smaller keys.
The key travel is average and the feedback is somewhat soft. Nevertheless, it is easy and quick to type on.
The two-stage RGB backlighting, which can be configured via the Control Center (various colors) and controlled via special keys, helps in dark environments. But it is only single zone.
The touchpad (approx. 12.1 x 7.3 cm) is slightly offset to the left in order to be as central as possible under the other keys due to the numeric keypad. The surface is slippery, but the not exactly quiet clicking noises seem a little cheap.
Display - An old acquaintance from 2019
The Medion Erazer Crawler E40 features a familiar display, which has been used in several laptops previously. The matte Full HD IPS display with a 144 Hz refresh rate is not the latest, having been used in the XMG Fusion 15 back in 2019.
The display's average brightness of 350 nits is acceptable, though the contrast is somewhat compromised by the weak black value.
Response times are decent for a gaming laptop, and there is a slight presence of backlight bleeding.

* ... smaller is better
The out-of-the-box performance of the display is suboptimal, with DeltaE values for colors and grayscale well above the target, and the black level being excessively high. However, calibrating the panel and reducing brightness significantly improves the display quality. After calibration, DeltaE values are reduced to a commendable 0.55 for grayscale and 1.36 for ColorChecker.

Performance - A good combination of i5-13500H and RTX 4050
With the Crawler, we have an entry-level gaming laptop, as indicated by the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 and the Intel Core i5-13500H, both of which are solid budget variants among gaming components. There is also 16 GB of modern DDR5-4800 RAM and an NVMe SSD with 512 GB, and the storage space is also more of a budget option.
This makes the laptop suitable for anyone who doesn't necessarily have to play every current game in maximum details. For many games, however, the performance in the native 1080p resolution should be sufficient for high details. Content creators may also be interested in the performance and simple design, but the display is likely to be a knockout criterion for real creative work (images, videos).
Testing Conditions
Medion has pre-installed a generic Control Center on the Crawler E40, which houses performance profiles, keyboard lighting, and other settings. The app is not particularly fast and often only processes inputs with a slight delay.
On the main screen, it is also a little annoying that you have to scroll to the bottom right to access the GPU switch (MSHybrid vs. dGPU, restart required), for example, which could be designed more clearly with a little effort.
We used the gaming mode for the performance benchmarks and the power-saving mode for the battery tests, as the dGPU is deactivated here, and the integrated GPU takes over.
Processor
The Intel Core i5-13500H is a mid-range CPU from the current Raptor Lake-H series (Intel Gen13). It has 4 of the possible 6 P-cores and 8 E-cores. Together, it has 12 cores and 16 threads (only the P cores support hyperthreading). The E base clock is 1.9 GHz, the P cores can individually clock up to 4.7 GHz and together up to 4.6 GHz.
Incidentally, there is a Medion Erazer Crawler E50 with Intel Gen 12 i5-12450H. Medion's naming scheme is really very opaque and can mislead buyers, so be careful when buying!
In our benchmarks, the CPU delivered good performance and is pretty much on par with an average i5-13500 from our database.
During the Cinebench R15 loop, the processor shows very consistent performance right from the start without a drop after the first few runs. The table below shows the behavior in the various performance modes, including battery mode.
