83.5% Schenker XMG Apex 15 (Clevo N950TP6) Laptop Review | Notebookcheck
GTX 1060 unleashed. Intel's brand-new desktop hexa-core Core i7-8700 is clearly the star of Schenker's new 15-inch Apex notebook. It is slightly oversized for a gaming notebook and is accompanied by a fast GeForce GTX 1060 GPU. The laptop lacks support for G-Sync but offers plentiful connectivity in return. Unfortunately, it suffers from a problem completely unrelated to gaming.

83.4% XMG Apex 17 (Clevo NH77ERQ) laptop review: For noise-resistant gamers | Notebookcheck
The XMG Apex 17 is a 17-inch gaming notebook from Schenker Technologies that relies on a strong Ryzen CPU and a potent GeForce GPU. The biggest highlight is the removable battery, the biggest drawback is the loud noise development.

84.4% Schenker XMG Apex 15 in gaming laptop review: This time with laptop CPU, but still with desktop cooling | Notebookcheck
The predecessor was equipped with a swappable socket CPU for desktops, wiped the floor with the competition in terms of performance, but was clearly too loud. The current Apex 15 uses a normal laptop CPU, but still retains some features from the predecessor. This has advantages and disadvantages, but which ones outweigh the others?

83.4% XMG Apex 15 Max (Clevo NH57VR) review: Gaming laptop with a desktop CPU | Notebookcheck
Schenker combines a socketed Ryzen 9-5900X CPU with a GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. This results in a powerful laptop that strikes a good figure in the areas of gaming, video processing, and rendering. However, a long battery life, quiet operation, and low power consumption shouldn't be too important for potential buyers here.

With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile: The mobile GTX 1060 is based on the GP106 chip and offer 1280 shaders. Compared to the identically named desktop version it features a slightly lower clock rate. Games in Full HD and maximum details should run fluently on the card.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Mobile: High-End laptop graphics card based on the TU106 chip with 2,304 shaders and 8 GB GDDR6 VRAM. Compared to the desktop variant, the GPU is clocked lower. The refresh version in April 2020 bears the same name, but is slightly higher clocked.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Mobile: Mid range to high end laptop graphics card based on the Turing architecture with raytracing features and 1,920 shaders. Compared to the similar named desktop card it offers reduced clock rates.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU: High-End laptop graphics card based on the Ampere GA106 chip with 3072 cores. Available in different versions with a TDP from 60 to 115 Watt.

NVIDIA NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU: Mid-range graphics card for laptops based on the Ada Lovelace architecture. Offers 6 GB of GDDR6 VRAM (96 Bit) and is configurable with a TGP of 35 - 115W (+ Dynamic Boost).

These graphics cards are able to play the latest and most demanding games in high resolutions and full detail settings with enabled Anti-Aliasing.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU: High-End laptop graphics card based on the Ampere GA104 chip. Available in different versions with a TDP from 80 to 125 Watt.

NVIDIA NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU: High-end graphics card for laptops based on the Ada Lovelace architecture. Offers 8 GB GDDR6 (128 Bit) and is configurable with a TGP of 35 - 115W (+ Dynamic Boost). 

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Intel Coffee Lake:

i7-8700: High-end desktop processor based on the Coffee Lake architecture. Offers 6 cores with Hyperthreading clocked at 3.2 - 4.6 GHz. Compared to the 8700K, the 8700 offers a lower clock speed, less TDP and no overclocking possibilities.

AMD Matisse (Ryzen 3000 Desktop):

R9 3900: Desktop 12-core processor with a TDP of 65 Watt and therefore even used in some high end gaming laptops. Fastest 65 W Ryzen CPU at launch.

R9 3950X: Desktop 16-core-CPU with 32 threads and fastest Ryzen 9 CPU at launch in November 2019. Clocks up to 4.7 GHz on a single core.

:

AMD Cezanne (Zen 3, Ryzen 5000):

R7 5800H: A high-performance, laptop-grade, octa-core APU. The Ryzen features eight SMT-enabled Zen 3 cores running at 3.2 GHz to 4.4 GHz along with the Vega 8 graphics adapter that runs at up to 2,000 MHz.

AMD Vermeer (Ryzen 5000):

R9 5900X: High-end desktop 12-core processor with 24 threads and the second fastest Ryzen 9 CPU for launch in 2020 behind the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X. Clocks at a maximum of 4.8 GHz on a single core and can therefore be convincing in single and multi-threaded applications.

AMD Phoenix (Zen 4, Ryzen 7040):

R7 7840HS: A powerful Phoenix family chip that saw the light of day in H1 2023. The processor features 8 cores (16 threads thanks to SMT support) running at 3.8 GHz. Not only does this APU has full might of the Zen 4 architecture at its disposal, it also comes with the new Ryzen AI technology that's set to make generative AI more ubiquitous than ever before. Last but not the least, the Radeon 780M serves as the integrated GPU.
