Medion have introduced the Erazer Defender P40, a mid-range QHD gaming laptop powered by a Core-i7-13700HX processor and a GeForce-RTX-4060 Laptop GPU. It is based on a barebone (NP70SND) made by the company Clevo and is available for around $1,900. Competitors include devices such as the MSI Katana 17, Acer Predator Helios 300, Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8, Asus TUF Gaming A16 FA617 and the Gigabyte G7 KE.

Case - The P40 has a plastic case
Medion have chosen a black case for the P40 with smooth, matte-reflecting surfaces. The sleek-looking laptop has no extravagant design features. Apart from its illuminated keyboard, the laptop features no LED elements. The battery (screwed in, not glued on) as well as the rest of the laptop's innards can be easily accessed after the bottom of the case is removed.
There are no build issues - all the gaps match up and there are no sharp edges. The base unit and lid can be twisted ever so slightly, but this is nothing out of the ordinary. Hinges hold the laptop's lid firmly in place and its maximum opening angle is around 135 degrees. The laptop can be opened using one hand.

The P40 is a little more compact than the Katana 17, but it weighs around 100 grams more. Both devices are beaten by the Gigabyte G7 KE in these categories.
Connectivity - The Medion Defender has Thunderbolt but no Power Delivery
Despite its 17.3-inch size, the laptop only has two USB-A connections (1x USB 3.2 Gen 1, 1x USB 2.0) - a third port on the right side of the laptop would be really handy. Neither USB-C port (1x Thunderbolt 4, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2) supports Power Delivery, but the TB4 port can output a DisplayPort signal. In total, the device has three video outputs (2x DP, 1x HDMI), two audio ports and a Gigabit Ethernet port.
Two video outputs and the power connection are on the back of the laptop. The corresponding cables will run away from the back of the device - meaning they won't get in your way. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for an Ethernet cable, if this is in use.
SD card reader
The SD card reader (reference card: AV PRO microSD 128 GB V60) has maximum transfer rates of 86 MB/s (transferring 250 jpg images - around 5 MB each) and 91 MB/s (copying large blocks of data) - making this a model with average speeds.

Communication
Under optimal conditions (no WLAN devices in close vicinity, short distance between laptop and server PC), the laptop was able to achieve impressive WiFi data rates. The Medion laptop uses a WiFi 6E chip (Intel AX211). Wired connections are also taken care of by an Intel chip (I219-V; 1 GBit/s).

Webcam
The webcam (0.9 MP, max. 1,280 x 720 pixels) doesn't have a mechanical cover. Its quality, unfortunately, isn't the best - however, in comparison, its color deviation is actually minimal.

Accessories
Aside from the usual documents (quick start guide and warranty information), the laptop doesn't come with any additional accessories.
Maintenance
After removing all the screws on the bottom of the device, the bottom plate can be removed using a flat spatula or a plectrum. You can then access both memory banks (in use), the second SSD slot (PCIe 4, M.2-2280), the WLAN module, the BIOS battery, the fans and the battery.
Warranty
Input devices - The P40's keyboard is RGB-backlit
Keyboard
The laptop's illuminated (4 levels) chiclet keyboard (including a numeric keypad) consists of smooth and even keys. These have a short lift, a clear pressure point and a nice level of resistance. When you type, the keys have a slight give - this shouldn't be too bothersome, though. All-in-all, Medion have delivered a keyboard fit for everyday use.

* ... smaller is better
Ex works, the screen already has great color depiction: A deviation of about 1.7 is acceptable (DeltaE < 3). Calibration leads to a smaller deviation of 1.13 and more balanced gray tones.
The panel covers the entire sRGB color space - but not AdobeRGB or DCI P3. This isn't all too different from the device's competitors. Only the Acer Predator's screen can depict the P3 space.

Performance - The Erazer computer features mid-range hardware
Medion's Erazer Defender P40 is a mid-range QHD gaming laptop. Raptor Lake and Ada Lovelace deliver the necessary processing performance. The present model can be purchased for around $1,900 - other models with differing features are not available.
Testing conditions
The P40 has four manufacturer-specific performance modes (see table) which can be switched between via the laptop's control centre software. We used "entertainment mode" (benchmarks) and "power saving mode" (battery tests; deactivates the RTX 4060). Optimus was activated. We also tested both of the other modes: "Gaming mode" leads to improvements in CPU performance and "silent mode" allows for gaming with lower noise emissions.
According to HWInfo, the "power saving mode" sets the CPU's PL 1 (45 watts) to a higher level than PL 2 (30 watts). This is most likely a bug. During the execution of the CB15 loop, the CPU's power consumption is 15 watts.
Gaming mode | Entertainment mode | Power saving mode | Silent mode | |
---|---|---|---|---|
CPU PL1 (HWInfo) | 135 watts | 65 watts | 45 watts | 15 watts |
CPU PL2 (HWInfo) | 162 watts | 130 watts | 30 watts | 30 watts |
Noise (Witcher 3) | 62 dB(A) | 56 dB(A) | - | 36 dB(A) |
Performance (Witcher 3) | ~102 fps | ~100 fps | - | 30 - 50 fps |
Processor
The Core-i7-13700HX processor (Raptor Lake) consists of eight efficiency cores (no hyperthreading, 1.5 - 3.7 GHz) and eight performance cores (hyperthreading, 2.1 - 5 GHz). This adds up to 24 logical CPU cores in total.
The benchmarks delivered results just below the previous CPU average ("entertainment mode"). "Gaming mode" usually only led to minimal performance increase - with the exception of the AIDA64 benchmarks. It could only show its improved qualities at continuous load. The laptop's more relevant single-thread performance (205 points) was reduced less in battery mode than its multi-core performance (1,619 points).
The CB15 loop test showed: Permanent multi-thread load led the turbo clock rate to drop from the first to the fourth run. Subsequently, it held consistent rates. "Gaming mode" led to continuously higher clock rates.

Storage devices
The P40 has a PCIe-4 SSD (1 TB) in M.2-2280 format from Phison. It delivers very good transfer rates but is not one of the top SSDs. Performance drops due to thermal throttling do not occur. The laptop has room for a second PCIe-4 SSD.
