Medion Erazer Scout E20 review: Affordable FHD gaming laptop with RTX 4050

Although the Erazer Scout E20 is primarily considered a gaming laptop from the entry-level segment, it could also be used in other areas that demand a high performance, such as rendering or video processing. Medion combines a Raptor Lake processor with a GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU, asking for about 1,500 Euros (~$1,658) for the whole package. The computer is based on a barebone from Clevo (V170RNCQ). Its competitors include devices such as the Gigabyte G7 KE, the MSI Katana 17 B13VFK, the Asus TUF Gaming A16 FA617, the Lenovo Legion 5 15IAH7H 82RB, and the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-46-R1A1.

Case - The Medion laptop uses a plastic case
The E20 cannot offer any case materials that give a high-quality appearance, but the whole case is made of black plastic. Medion uses smooth, matte surfaces. The unpretentious design of the laptop would also allow using it in business surroundings. Aside from the keyboard illumination, the laptop does not include any colorful ornamentation in form of LED bands. The battery (which is screwed and not glued in) and the rest of the equipment is accessible after removing the bottom of the case.
The Scout doesn't show any faults in workmanship. The gaps are even and there are no material protrusions. The base unit can only be warped slightly but the lid more significantly, although this still remains within limits. The hinges hold the lid tightly in position, with a maximum opening angle of about 135 degrees. The lid can be opened using a single hand.

In terms of its size, the E20 measures at the level of comparable 17.3-inch laptops, and the same also goes for its weight to some extent. In our comparison field, it represents the heaviest device - together with the Katana 17 - at 2.8 kg (~6.2 lb). The G7 KE weighs a good 200 grams (7 oz) less than both of those competitors.
Equipment - No Thunderbolt for the Erazer
The Erazer offers three USB-A ports (1x USB 2.0, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2) and a single USB-C port (USB 3.2 Gen 2). While the latter can output a DisplayPort signal, it doesn't include support for Power Delivery. The Scout E20 includes a total of three video output ports (HDMI 2.1, 2x DP). The connection equipment is completed by two audio ports and a Gigabit Ethernet port. There is no storage card reader.
The video ports and power connection are on the back of the device, so the corresponding cables would run in the back and not be in the way.
Communication
Under optimal conditions (without other WLAN devices in close proximity and close distance between laptop and server PC), excellent WiFi data rates are reached. The Medion laptop uses an Intel AX211 WiFi-6E chip, and wired connections are also handled by an Intel chip (I219-V; 1 Gbit/s).

Webcam
The 0.9-MP webcam has a maximum resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels and doesn't offer a mechanical shutter. The quality it is able to deliver is standard fare, but at least the results only show a relatively low color deviation.

Accessories
The laptop doesn't include any additional accessories besides the usual documentation such as the quick start instructions and warranty information.

Input Devices - E20 keyboard with RGB illumination
Keyboard
The smooth, flat keys of the chiclet keyboard (which includes a number block) offer a short stroke and clear pressure point. The key resistance is okay. When typing, the keyboard has at most a minimal give, which doesn't turn out to be a hindrance. The keyboard illumination has four levels of brightness. Overall, Medion has delivered a keyboard here that is suitable for everyday tasks.
Touchpad
Display - FHD panel with sRGB coverage
Medion has equipped the E20 with a very responsive 144-Hz panel in the 16:9 format that doesn't show any PWM flickering at any brightness level. The brightness and contrast of the matte 17.3-inch display (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) meet their target requirements of >300 cd/m² and 1,000:1 respectively.

* ... smaller is better
The display shows a good color reproduction already in the state of delivery, and with a deviation of about 2.65, the target of DeltaE < 3 is met. An additional calibration lowers the deviation further to 0.96 and also ensures a more balanced grayscale.
The panel is able to cover the sRGB color space completely but not the AdobeRGB and DCI-P3 color spaces. The displays of most competitors show similar qualities.

Performance - The Scout uses Raptor Lake and Ada Lovelace
The Erazer Scout E20 represents a gaming laptop from the entry-level segment. The necessary computing performance is provided by Raptor Lake and Ada Lovelace chips. Our test unit is available for about 1,500 Euros (~$1,658). At the time of this test, we were unable to find any other equipment configurations.
Test Conditions
The E20 includes four manufacturer specific performance modes (see table). You can switch between them using the Control Center software, which is the control center of the laptop. We used the "Entertainment mode" for the benchmarks and the "Power saving mode" for the battery tests, with Optimus being active. The Power Saving mode also represents a special case among the modes, since it deactivates the GeForce graphics core.
Gaming Mode | Entertainment Mode | Power Saving Mode | Silent Mode | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Power Limit 1 (HWInfo) | 110 Watts | 50 Watts | 20 Watts | 15 Watts |
Power Limit 2 (HWInfo) | 115 Watts | 115 Watts | 30 Watts | 30 Watts |
Noise (The Witcher 3) | 57 dB(A) | 50 dB(A) | - | 34 dB(A) |
Performance (The Witcher 3) | ~83 fps | ~80 fps | - | 30-50 fps |
Processor
The Raptor Lake Core i7-13700H processor consists of eight Efficiency cores (no hyperthreading, 1.8 to 3.7 GHz) and six Performance cores (hyperthreading, 2.4 to 5 GHz), resulting in a total of 20 logical CPU cores.
The benchmarks deliver results above (Gaming mode, Entertainment mode) and below (other modes) the current average of the CPU until now. The more relevant single thread performance (170 points) is reduced less in battery operation than the multithread performance (1,335 points).
The CB15 loop test shows that constant multithread load causes the Turbo speed to drop from the first to the third run. After that, a constant level can be maintained - at least for a while. The Gaming mode ensures a higher constant clock speed.

DPC Latencies
The standardized Latency Monitor test (with web surfing, 4k video reproduction, and Prime95 high load) reveals some conspicuous latencies. The system doesn't appear to be suited for real-time video and audio processing. Future software updates might bring some improvements or even make things worse.

Storage Solution
A 1-TB PCIe 4 SSD in the M.2-2280 format from Phison serves as the system drive. While it delivers very good transfer rates, it is not one of the top models among SSDs. There are no performance drops due to thermal throttling.
According to the Medion website, you can expand the laptop storage by using a 2.5-inch storage medium, but our test unit neither includes the necessary SATA slots nor the insertion frame.
