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

Ryzen 7 pulls ahead. 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.

Christian Hintze, 👁 Florian Glaser (translated by Mark Riege), Published 09/27/2020 🇩🇪 🇳🇱 ...

Schenker has updated its whole XMG Core series. The gaming laptop is available in a 15 and a 17-inch version, and for the processor you now have the choice between an Intel CPU of the 10th generation and one of the new and very powerful AMD Ryzen CPUs based on the Zen 2, as in our test unit. In addition to the Ryzen 7 4800H, Schenker also upgraded to RTX options for the graphics. Our 15-inch XMG offers an Nvidia RTX 2060. The case was also slightly updated for this. Although it looks the same at first glance, it is now equipped with additional fan vents for improved heat exchange. The gaming package is available for less than 1500 Euros (~$1745).

The direct competitors include other, relatively affordable gaming laptops, particularly Intel competitors with the same graphics such as the Dell G3 15 3500 or the Lenovo Legion 5 15IMH05H. We are also including the Asus TUF A15 with the same Ryzen 7 CPU in our performance comparison, and last but not least we are also interested how our AMD/Nvidia configuration fares against the pure AMD Dell G5 gaming laptop with the Radeon 5600M.

Case - Schenker with a Tongfang case

It is only at first glance that the Tongfang GK5NR0O case appears identical to the Tongfang GK5CP6V of the similarly-labeled predecessor that we tested in February. While the connections remained the same, the space behind the connections on the sides that was unused before is now equipped with additional fan vents for better air circulation. The display lid and top of the base are made from aluminum, while the display frame and the bottom continue to be made of plastic. The design remained the same and continues to appear pleasantly modest for a gaming laptop. The compact dimensions of the case are also fitting. Finger prints and smudges leave visible traces next to the dark "XMG" lettering on the display lid surface.

Despite the use of metal, the keyboard backing can be pressed in relatively easily, but this hardly becomes an annoyance while typing. As usual, the display lid is even less resistant to warping. We would have liked the two small hinges to be stiffer, and when the base is wiggled, the display angle also changes along with it quickly. In addition, the base is creaking, particularly in the area of the left palm rest, so that the overall impression is mixed. However, the rest of the workmanship appears to be okay and there are no conspicuous gap clearances.

Compared to the predecessor, the thickness of the case was slimmed down by a whole 6 mm (~0.2 in), but otherwise there are hardly any changes. The Lenovo Legion is larger and thicker. Overall, the new Core 15 is the slimmest and most often also the most compact gaming laptop in the direct comparison within the price class. All the other representatives are also more than 200 grams (7 oz) heavier at least.

Equipment - XMG with a lot of display potential

In terms of the connections, everything remains the same, only the USB-C port is now 3.2 Gen 2 instead of 3.0. The separate audio ports for microphone and headphones and the multitude of display connections deserve some praise. Since some of the ports are also on the back, the slots on the sides of the laptop are not too cramped. However, due to the fan vents on the sides, the ports are placed quite far toward the front, which might lead to some annoyances with the mouse operation.

SD Card Reader

The transfer speed of the built-in SD card reader is lame. Like its direct competitors, the Schenker only reaches transfer rates of about 30 MB/s, while the average among gaming laptops is about 100 MB/s.

Communication

In terms of the WLAN transfer speeds, the XMG Core 15 does very well, ending up even significantly above the values we expect from the Intel AX200 module. In our comparison, it achieves one of the top values while sending as well as receiving.

Webcam

The webcam with its microphone is placed at the bottom edge of the display. There is no shutter. As you can see in the color deviations and especially also the writing using our X-Rite color measurement device, the images of the webcam have a blue tint that is more than clearly noticeable.

Security

The Schenker XMG Core 15 offers a slot for a Kensington Lock, and TPM 2.0 (via Intel PTT) is also onboard.

Accessories

Our unit comes with Windows 10 Pro (64 bit) preinstalled, but that still has to be activated, because a license is not included. In the Bestware.com Schenker shop, you can add a Pro license for 97.49 Euros (~$113) or a Home license for 58.49 Euros (~$68) to your configuration. In addition to the power supply and quick start manual, our box also includes a 16-GB USB stick with the device drivers, which is a nice bonus.

Maintenance

Performing maintenance should be relatively easy. After removing the 10 Philips screws, the bottom of the case can be removed fairly easily without needing any prying effort. You then get access to all the important components such as the two fans, the battery, the two RAM slots, and the two M.2 storage slots, one of which is still empty.

Warranty

While Schenker offers a 24-month warranty, you can only get the "fast repair" for 6 months. If you want to extend this to 12 months or the whole warranty period, you have to pay extra, as shown in the screenshot below.

Input Devices - Good for a gaming laptop

Keyboard

In the keyboard, we like the fairly comfortable stroke with the feedback that is still clear, and typing tasks succeed easily this way. The lettering of the keys is okay, but looks a little fat and chunky, instead of clearly defined. Overall, the layout is very well arranged. Another positive point is the continued existence of a number pad. In exchange, the keys appear slightly small (14-15 mm; 0.55-0.59 in), the right arrow key reaches into the number pad, and the +/- keys that are usually elongated, as well as the additional Enter key on the right, had to be implemented smaller and not quite positioned in their usual places. However, this is hardly any annoyance.

The typing noise is fairly inconspicuous but not extremely quiet either. The keyboard offers RGB background illumination that can be freely configured using a piece of software.

Touchpad

The large touchpad (11.7 cm x 7.4 cm; ~4.6 x 2.9 in) offers good sliding characteristics for regular finger movements, but at only very slow speeds it can slightly hinder the movement. The integrated keys only offer a very short stroke and like the keyboard, they are neither particularly loud nor particularly quiet. Tapping twice in the left top corner of the touchpad will activate or deactivate it. When the pad is deactivated, a small, white LED in the corner will light up. The instructions on that, pictured on a sticky foil, were a bit confusing at first.

Display - 144 Hz to please a gamer's heart

A Full-HD IPS panel that now supports a refresh rate of 144 Hz is used as the display. Schenker does not offer any 4K options for the Core 15. The average brightness is a satisfactory 290 Nits, and the brightness distribution of 87% is also decent.

The subpixel structure is slightly more grainy than in a reflective display, but all the contents are displayed sharp in everyday usage. Fortunately we did not notice any screen bleeding.

* ... smaller is better

Compared to the predecessor that already offered decent values, the contrast and black value were even slightly improved, and only the Asus TUF turns out even better here. On the other hand, the display seems to be badly calibrated in the state of delivery. Particularly the deviations in the grayscale are unusually high, and the display also shows a significant blue tint.

At 92% sRGB and 68% AdobeRGB, the color space coverage turns out quite good for this price class. At less than 10 ms, the response times also need to be pointed out positively. G-Sync is supported, at least via the two Mini DisplayPorts.

The matte surface that prevents reflections fairly well helps during outdoor usage. While the brightness of less than 300 Nits is not quite optimal, it does not create any problems, at least when using it in the shade.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
9.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 4.4 ms rise
9.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 5.2 ms fall
The screen shows fast response rates in our tests and should be suited for gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 19 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.9 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
9.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 5.2 ms rise
9.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 4.4 ms fall
The screen shows fast response rates in our tests and should be suited for gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 16 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (34.5 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 54 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18982 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

As typical for IPS panels, the viewing angle stability is good, and even from the steepest viewing angles, the image only suffers minimally.

Performance - Great CPU, but the GPU is so so.

The Core 15 is equipped with a Ryzen 7-4800H, accompanied by 16 GB of RAM and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060. In addition, there is a Samsung SSD 970 Evo Plus with 500 GB of storage. While the laptop is quite clearly designed for gaming, theoretically it is also suited for video editing or image processing. Due to its compact dimensions, it is also fairly mobile for a 15-inch gaming laptop. The storage space is slightly limited considering current games, but can be expanded easily via the empty M.2 slot.

Processor

The Ryzen 7-4800H has 8 cores and is able to process 16 threads simultaneously. In Turbo mode, the cores can offer a speed of up to 4.2 GHz. Schenker has installed its Control Center software on the XMG Core 15, allowing you to select the "Overboost" mode that minimally overclocks the CPU. Despite that, we are running all our benchmarks in the mode called "Enthusiast," which is supposed to set the performance at 100% without any overclocking.

In the Cinebench R15 loop, we are presented with the usual, strong Zen-2 performance. Over time, the high starting performance hardly decreases, in contrast to many of its Intel counter parts.

In the multi-core benchmark from Cinebench R15, the Ryzen 7 is a whole 57% faster than the Intel Core i7-10750H in the Dell G3 (2 cores less, Turbo up to 5 GHz). It is able to beat the predecessor with the Intel Core i7-9750H by even 75%. In the test, the core clock speeds are at about 4 GHz.

Away from the outlet, the laptop loses about 25% of its CPU performance in Cinebench R15.

Storage Solution

Our test unit is equipped with a Samsung SSD 970 Evo Plus with 500 GB, which occupies 14th place in our HDD/SSD benchmark chart, so it is quite fast. However, you can chose among a lot of different SSDs in the configurator, so it depends on the configuration. The model in our test unit is completely convincing in our synthetic benchmarks, beating all the competitors including the predecessor, even though that was equipped with the same model.

In addition to the Vega 7 GPU that is integrated into the processor, there is also a powerful Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060, which represents Nvidia's entry into the high-end gaming segment and also supports ray tracing functions. Alternatively, you can also select the significantly weaker GTX 1650 Ti.

In the synthetic 3DMark tests, the RTX 2060 delivers a performance minimally below what we expect from an average RTX 2060. However, the low deviations (3-8%) are within the tolerance range. In 3DMark 11, our test unit places second, in 3DMark 2013 it fares worse, and there is a significant, reproducible downward outlier in Cloud Gate. Here, the Dell G5 with the Radeon RX 5600M always seems to be ahead of the rest of the competitors with an advantage of about 18%. Using the Overboost mode gains about 4% in performance.

If you unplug the Schenker from the outlet, the 3D performance is massively throttled. Of 21478 points in 3DMark 11, only 3598 points remain, which is a shocking difference!

Gaming Performance

While gaming, our suspicion from before is confirmed: The Schenker always performs a few percent behind an average RTX 2060. Particularly the Lenovo Legion with the same GPU but weaker processor is always 10 to 15% faster here. The Dell G5 also strikes a slightly better figure most of the time. Especially the comparison with the predecessor with a GTX 1660 Ti is a bit disappointing. In The Witcher 3, the new model is only 4 to 8% faster, despite its more powerful graphics.

However, in practice, those fairly small advantages of some competitors should be hardly noticeable. All the games we tested always ran smoothly, at least in the native Full-HD resolution. Our page specifically on the mobile GeForce RTX 2060 shows more benchmark comparisons. You should deduct about 5% of the performance for the Schenker.
