Schenker XMG Evo 15 (M24) laptop review - German Ultrabook with bright display and excellent maintenance options
Until now, XMG laptops have primarily been aimed at gamers and customers with a need for fast dedicated graphics cards. With the new XMG Evo models (14 & 15 inch), the German manufacturer is now also launching two ultrabooks without dedicated GPUs. The cases are more compact, but at the same time, you don't have to do without extensive maintenance options. The manufacturer also gives customers a choice between Ryzen 8000 CPUs from AMD (from €1,049) or Meteor Lake chips from Intel (from €1,199), which, according to Schenker, does not lead to any major differences in performance. The display is always a matt WQHD panel (2,560 x 1,600 pixels) with a brightness of 500 nits and a frequency of 240 Hz.
We test the new XMG Evo 15 (M24) with Intel Core Ultra 7 155H including the Arc Graphics iGPU in combination with 32 GB RAM (DDR5-5600) and the 1 TB version of the Samsung 990 Pro. In this configuration (including pre-installation of Windows 11), the price is 1,400 euros.

Case - Sturdy aluminum cover
The XMG Evo 15 features a black aluminum chassis, which is somewhat similar to the XMG Fusion 15 gamer. However, the Evo 15 is more compact (especially thinner) and also does without the cooling vents on both sides. Overall, the notebook looks very simple and can also be used in a professional environment without any problems; if required, the laptop can also be ordered without a logo on the display lid. However, the aluminum surfaces are quite sensitive to fingerprints and need to be cleaned regularly.
In terms of quality, the new Evo 15 performs well, as the workmanship is very good and the laptop makes a high-quality impression overall. The base unit is very stable and can only be dented a little in the middle keyboard area if you put your hands on it. The screen lid is also stable and we cannot provoke any image distortions. The maximum opening angle is 180 degrees and the hinges hold the screen securely in position apart from a slight bounce, but opening it with one hand is also possible without any problems thanks to the slight camera hump.
With a thickness of approximately 2 cm, the Evo 15 isn't the thinnest notebook, but it doesn't aspire to be. However, its footprint is noticeably more compact than that of its 16-inch competitors. With a weight of around 1.7 kg, it is also one of the lighter models in our comparison field. The 100-watt power supply weighs in at 513 grams, but this includes the long power cable (1.8 + 1.5 meters).
Features - Thunderbolt 4 and USB 2.0
The ports are spread across the two rear side areas and the rear. In principle, all modern standards including Thunderbolt 4 (or USB 4.0 on the AMD model) are available and there are also sufficient USB ports, but we don't know what a USB 2.0 port is doing on a modern laptop. At least there is only one of them, the other two comply with the USB 3.2 Gen1 standard.
SD Card Reader
In conjunction with our reference card (Angelbird AV Pro V60), the fully-fledged SD card reader achieves transfer rates of up to 90 MB/s and ~50 MB/s when copying data. Overall, these are somewhat below-average results.

Communication
The Evo 15 is one of the few modern multimedia notebooks that still has an RJ45 Gigabit network connection. The AX211 module from Intel is also available for wireless networks (Wi-Fi 6E). In conjunction with our reference router from Asus, the transfer rates were good and we had no problems with the Wi-Fi signal during the test.

Webcam
A 2 MP camera with a mechanical shutter is built into the top edge of the screen, which delivers average image quality. Microsoft Studio effects are also supported and the additional IR camera enables facial recognition via Windows Hello.
Accessories
In addition to the 100-watt power supply unit, the scope of delivery also includes a USB stick with drivers and a large XMG mouse pad made of fabric.
Maintenance
Now we come to a highlight of the Evo 15, the maintenance options. After removing the bottom cover (which is fastened with normal Phillips screws), you can access the fans and the screwed battery, as well as the two SO-DIMM slots for the RAM and two M.2 2280 SSD slots; upgrades are therefore child's play. The WLAN module can also be replaced if necessary.
Sustainability
Schenker's product page lacks any information on CO2 emissions generated during laptop manufacturing. The packaging is largely made of cardboard and plastic. We will talk about the power consumption later, but the standby consumption of 1.4 watts is too high.
Input devices - Large keyboard with numeric keypad
The keyboard takes up the entire width of the base unit and also offers a dedicated numeric keypad, although these keys are somewhat narrower. However, the arrow keys are not reduced in size. The overall typing experience is comfortable and even long texts are no problem, although business laptops like the ThinkPad T16 still offer advantages here. In addition, the larger keys in particular are quite loud and feel a little rickety. Based on a survey of its customers, Schenker has decided not to install a dedicated co-pilot key. The white backlight currently offers two intensity levels, but an update will be released soon, which will then offer four intensity levels.
At 12.3 x 7.7 cm, the ClickPad offers sufficient space for inputs and pointer control, but it is clearly shifted to the left, which takes some time to get used to. The pad can be clicked in the lower area, but this results in a loud and cheap sound.
Display - IPS with 240 Hz
Schenker uses the familiar WQHD panel with 240 Hz from the Fusion 15, so it is a matte IPS panel with a resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 pixels. The subjective picture impression is excellent, as all content is very sharp and the color reproduction is also fine, although, of course, you can't expect the bright colors of OLED panels. However, there is also no PWM flickering, but the response times are still very fast. Despite the matte surface, even bright surfaces do not appear grainy and movements are very smooth thanks to the high frequency. Adaptive Sync is also supported, but a brightness sensor is not installed.
The brightness is specified at 500 cd/m², but our test device achieved a significantly better result with an average of 585 cd/m². However, the black value suffers as a result, which is 0.61 cd/m², and makes black content appear rather dark gray. In addition, the maximum contrast ratio is only ~1,000:1.

* ... smaller is better
We measured the panel with the professional CalMAN software (X-Rite i1 Pro2) and you can download a pre-calibrated profile from the manufacturer in the Control Center, which we also used for the measurement. However, the color temperature here is a little too warm and there are also some values for colors and grayscale that exceed the target value of 3. With our own calibration (profile is available for free download above), we can significantly improve the display and all values are within the target range. Together with the complete sRGB coverage, the Evo 15 is, therefore, also suitable for editing images/videos without restrictions.

The matte panel performs very well outdoors thanks to the high brightness and even on bright days you can still see the content clearly. The viewing angle stability of the IPS panel is very good.
Performance - Meteor Lake and up to 96 GB RAM
The XMG Evo 15 is either equipped with the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS or the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H in our test device. The two RAM slots allow up to 96 GB of DDR5 RAM, but the frequency is limited from 5600 to 4800 MHz when using 48 GB modules due to thermal restrictions.
Test conditions
The pre-installed Control Center offers three different energy profiles (Balanced, Enthusiast & Overboost), which can also be conveniently switched using the Fn+F3 key combination. We carried out the benchmarks and measurements with the standard Enthusiast profile. We have summarized the performance values of the three profiles in the following table:
| Energy profile | CPU TDP | CPU TDP (battery) | CB R23 Multi | Time Spy Graphics | max. Fan volume |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Balanced | 35 watts | 25 watts | 12,759 points | 2,623 points | 35.4 dB(A) |
| Enthusiast | 45 watts | 35 watts | 14,957 points | 3,690 points | 40.4 dB(A) |
| Overboost | 70 watts | 35 watts | 18,790 points | 3,633 points | 48.1 dB(A) |
Processor - Core Ultra 7 155H
The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H is currently used in many laptops, but the XMG Evo 15 is one of the few models that does not have an increased short-term power limit. In Enthusiast mode, the consumption is 45 watts and this value is kept constant (this also applies to the other performance profiles with 70 and 35 watts) and there is no loss of performance under continuous load. In enthusiast mode, the performance is already very good, but if you need even more power, you can easily use the overboost mode (+25% multi-core performance). In battery mode, however, the maximum consumption drops to 35 watts, which results in a 15% reduction in performance. Further CPU benchmarks can be found in our technology section.

Mass storage
The XMG Evo 15 (M24) offers two M.2-2280 slots, which are connected via PCIe 4.0 and also support a RAID array (0/1). The Evo is equipped with a 500 GB WD Blue SN580 as standard, but our test device is fitted with the 1 TB version of the Samsung 990 Pro, which is an extremely fast SSD with transfer rates of up to 7 GB/s. In addition, the performance remains completely stable even under prolonged load, which is not a matter of course. After the initial start-up, the user has 878 GB at their disposal. Further SSD benchmarks can be found here.

Graphics card - Intel Arc Graphics
The Evo 15 uses the integrated Arc Graphics of the Intel processor, although this is the fast version with 8 Xe cores. The iGPU benefits from the dual-channel RAM configuration, and compared to competitors with faster 7467 RAM (e.g. RedmiBook Pro 16 or IdeaPad Pro 5 16), the graphics performance in the synthetic benchmarks is only marginally lower overall. The Radeon 780M is just overtaken in the benchmarks. In the GPU tables, we have also included the Schenker Via 14 Pro with the Radeon 780M, as it should offer a comparable performance to the XMG Evo 15 with an AMD processor.
The current Intel GPU is a good choice for everyday multimedia and the driver updates in recent months have also improved the gaming performance and overall there are no surprises here. In terms of actual gaming performance, however, Arc Graphics loses its lead and iGPUs are ultimately on the same performance level.
The graphics performance remains constant under constant load, but the performance drops by around 26% in battery mode. Further GPU benchmarks can be found in our technology section.

Emissions - Quiet in everyday life
Noise emissions
The cooling of the Evo 15 is often deactivated or very quiet when idling or under low load. If you put the laptop under more load, it depends on the active energy profile. In Enthusiast mode, the maximum is 40.4 dB(A), and in Balanced mode and Battery mode, the maximum is 35.4 dB(A). If you want to use the full power of the processor in Overboost mode, the cooling becomes significantly louder with a maximum of 48.1 dB(A). Once the load phase has ended, the fans reduce their speed again very quickly (in every profile). There were no other electronic noises in our Evo 15 test device.

Temperature
The aluminum casing of the Evo 15 remains very cool under low load and there are no problems even under load. The underside can reach almost 50 °C in extreme cases, but the hotspot is on the underside in the middle rear area. The device can even be used on the thighs. The keyboard area remains significantly cooler overall, even under load, and there are no restrictions when typing. In the stress test, the processor remains constant at its specified TDP value.

Speaker
The Evo 15 offers two stereo speakers that provide a decent sound quality. Although there are multimedia laptops with better sound systems (which also have more speakers), the Evo is one of the best models in this discipline within the comparison group. The sound is clear and distinct overall, with the only noticeable drop-off being in the bass.

Energy management
Power consumption
The large and bright display has an effect on the power consumption and we measured a maximum of just under 14 watts in idle mode. Both in gaming and in the stress test, the consumption is 76-78 watts and remains absolutely stable, so the 100-watt power supply is completely sufficient. In the Overboost profile, we measured a maximum of 107.9 watts, so the power supply has no more leeway to charge the battery, for example. However, the battery is not tapped here either. As we have already mentioned, the standby consumption of 1.4 watts is too high.

Battery life
Schenker installs a massive 99.8-Wh battery in the Evo 15, which leads to good runtimes overall despite the energy-hungry display, although the Medion S10 offers even more endurance. In the WLAN test with 150 cd/m² (corresponds to 58% of the maximum brightness in the test device), we measured 10:25 hours at 60 Hz and 08:25 hours at 240 Hz. At full brightness, the runtime drops to 8 hours (60 Hz) or 6:39 hours (240 Hz), so you should definitely reduce the frequency in battery mode.
The video test runs for just over 12 hours and under load, the worst-case scenario is 2:14 hours. A full charge takes a long 165 minutes when the device is switched on (80% after 130 minutes) and there is no quick charge function.

Verdict - One of the best multimedia notebooks without dGPU
With the new XMG Evo 15 (M24), the German manufacturer Schenker is launching a good multimedia notebook without a dedicated graphics card. It's not the thinnest laptop on the market, but the Evo 15 doesn't aspire to be. On the other hand, you get very good maintenance options and both the RAM (max. 96 GB) and the SSD capacity (2 M.2-2280 slots) can be easily upgraded. There are also enough ports, although we wonder how an old USB 2.0 port managed to find its way into the device. However, as there are plenty of other fast USB ports (Intel with Thunderbolt 4, AMD with USB 4.0), this is not a huge problem. There is also not much to complain about when it comes to the input devices and speakers.
When it comes to the display, you can recognize the gaming roots and the relationship to the XMG Fusion 15 but this is not a disadvantage. The matte IPS panel offers a high resolution and a fast frequency of 240 Hz. In addition, there is no PWM and the response times are also fast. The brightness is very good at almost 600 cd/m², which in turn affects the black level and therefore the contrast ratio. Anyone expecting rich blacks like an OLED panel will definitely be disappointed. After calibration, the color accuracy is excellent and thanks to full sRGB coverage, the panel is also suitable for image editing. The large 99.8 Wh battery can compensate well for the power consumption of the display and overall the endurance away from the socket is decent.
Excellent maintenance options, bright IPS display with accurate colors, and good performance values with coherent energy profiles: The new Schenker XMG Evo 15 is an exciting multimedia laptop without a dedicated graphics card that is available with both AMD and Intel processors and has no real weak points.
The performance of the Evo 15 with the Intel processor is very good overall and above all stable, as there are no absurdly high short-term power limits. If you need higher performance, you can use the Overboost mode, but you will have to put up with louder fans. In general, however, the Evo 15 is a very quiet companion, especially for everyday tasks.
With all these positive aspects, the new Evo 15 is almost unrivaled on the market. The question remains as to whether you should choose the Intel or the AMD model. Although the AMD model only has USB 4.0 instead of Thunderbolt 4, the manufacturer claims that the performance (despite the slightly lower power limits of the Ryzen 7 8845HS) is comparable. We don't expect any huge differences in battery life either, which begs the question of why customers should pay 150 euros more for the Intel processor. The AMD model, which starts at 1,049 euros, definitely offers a better price-performance ratio.
Price and availability
The new Schenker XMG Evo 15 (M24) can now be ordered from Bestware. The AMD model starts at 1,049 euros, the Intel version at 1,199 euros.
