Schenker XMG Neo 17 (Tongfang GM7ZG7S) laptop review: El Dorado tuning

Schenker XMG Neo 17 (Tongfang GM7ZG7S) laptop review: El Dorado tuning

While other manufacturers don't disclose the graphics card's TDP, not only does Schenker list the corresponding value on its homepage, but it even lets customers adjust the TDP via software (at least in the case of the Neo 17). However, at a maximum of 140 watts, the RTX 3070 laptop that we tested produces a hefty amount of noise.

Schenker XMG Core 15 (Tongfang GK5NR0O) Laptop Review: AMD gamer with a good price-performance ratio

The configuration we tested costs less than 1500 Euros (~$1745) and is equipped with a powerful Ryzen 7 4800H, an Nvidia RTX 2060, a good IPS display, and a fast SSD. So what's the catch? There really isn't one, even though the XMG Core 15 is far from doing everything right. Particularly the powerful Ryzen improves our subjective impression. All the strengths and weaknesses of the Schenker in the Tongfang case are described in our detailed review.

Nexoc GH7 (Clevo NH77DCQ) Review: Gaming laptop with a replaceable battery

Due to its rather classic build, the GH7 from Nexoc, which is based on a Clevo barebone, offers a lot of space for maintenance options. While the cooling system is also able to keep up well with the GTX 1660 Ti that is used here, it might become a bottleneck with the more powerful GPU options. Our review will clarify what else buyers can expect.

While numerous high-end laptops attempt to appeal to customers with extravagant designs, the XMG Pro 17 from Schenker Technologies appears very laid back visually. However, a lot of performance potential hides under the hood. In this review, we take a closer look at the 17-inch model.
