Schenker XMG Focus 16 laptop review: A gaming machine assembled in Germany
Laptops from Leipzig are available from the German computer manufacturer, Schenker. In the XMG Focus 16, we have a mid-range gaming laptop with a 16-inch screen. The laptop is reliable, rock solid, and possesses Schenker's trademark design. The device looks a little boxy and unconventional without being overly conspicuous. Schenker has equipped the XMG Focus 16 with powerful hardware and a 16:10 aspect ratio screen.
Our competitors have been selected primarily from the mid-range gaming laptop price category, such as the Dell G16 7620 or the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro. However, a thin multimedia laptop with similar specs, the Asus Zenbook Pro 16X, is considerably slimmer than typical gaming laptops but offers similarly high levels of performance.

Case - black, boxy and a lot of aluminium
The XMG Schenker Focus 16 is black and white and is based on a barebone NP60PNP from Clevo. Both the display lid - which can be opened to an angle of 130 ° - and the top of the base consist of black coated aluminum, unlike the base cover which is made of black plastic. On opening the device, you will find the kind of keyboard which is typically found in many Schenker and Clevo laptops. The individual keys have white borders and black typing surfaces. As with nearly all Schenker laptops, the XMG Focus 16 is quite boxy and basic in design but has good build quality. We have a comfortable device in our hands which shows no signs of creaking and boasts a stable hinge.
Tipping the scales at 2.3 kg and measuring 2.4 cm thick, the gaming laptop doesn't stand out from its direct competitors.
Features - many ports, high transfer speeds and WiFi 6E
Schenker has placed the ports in various locations around the Focus. The display ports, the power supply socket as well as a USB-C port can be found on the rear of the laptop. This ensures the cables stay out of the way when gaming.
SD Card Reader
The gaming laptop comes with a microSD card reader.
On average this offers high transfer speeds for USB-3.0 connections to the hardware. The connection to our AV PRO microSD 128 GB V60 could be faster - something which is shown by the Asus Rog Flow.

Communication
The WiFi connection is above average in terms of speed and stability. The Intel X211 LAN module shows its full potential here.
Webcam
A typical 720p webcam can be found inside the Schenker laptop. At most, we were only able to determine comparatively small color deviations. Otherwise, the webcam's image quality is on a typical level.
Security
The Schenker XMG Focus 16 has a Kensington Security Slot. Otherwise, all standards are met. TPM 2.0 (via Intel PTT) is on board.
Extras
Schenker includes extensive documentation with all its laptops. In the box, we found a CD with drivers, a USB stick with Windows preconfigured as well as a large mousepad complete with the XMG logo.
Service
Thirteen crosshead screws hold the base cover firmly in place. When these are removed, the cover plate can be easily lifted off. Inside the laptop, we find two (already occupied) RAM slots and two M.2 slots (one occupied). All other parts are screwed but not glued.
Guarantee
Which warranty services Schenker provides depends on individual choices made when purchasing the device. The basis guarantee is for 24 months including both Pick-up & Return and quick repair services in the first six months.
Input devices - long key travel
The keyboard's laser-printed lettering is easy to read with a key travel of almost 2 mm as well as full-size arrow keys, RGB lighting, and a numerical keypad. On request, Schenker will laser print every conceivable keyboard layout.
At 15 × 9 cm, the laptop's trackpad is very large. Embarrassing for Schenker: on delivery, the trackpad's ribbon cable was not properly connected which meant we initially struggled with an unresponsive trackpad. Once we fixed this faux pas, the input device functioned at the highest level.
Display - 16:10 display with QHD+
With an aspect ratio of 16:10, the XMG Focus 16 display is not exactly typical. Although it offers a high resolution of 2560 × 1600 pixels and a refresh rate of 165Hz, the response time of this 450 cd/m² bright screen is not as low as you would expect from a gaming laptop. Contrast levels, color coverage, black levels, and illumination can be described as good. We were unable to detect any light bleeding.

* ... smaller is better
The Schenker gaming laptop's display covers 95 % of sRGB with AdobeRGB and DisplayP3 sitting at around 70 %. Color reproduction is good if not exactly perfect. An ΔΕ of under on 3 would be desirable with the Focus 16 managing an ΔΕ average of 3.65. Thus, color devotions ex-works are acceptable. Our ICC profile did not result in any improvement in color reproduction.

The flicker-free IPS panel made a good impression in outdoor usage as well as when viewed from various angles. Only when the sun shone on the matte display at an unfavorable angle did we encounter legibility difficulties.
Performance - a little above average
As with all Schenker laptops, the XMG Focus 16 is also highly customizable. Therefore, it is possible to select the RAM, various hard drives, and other options in the XMG Focus 16 configurator. It is currently not possible to choose different CPUs and GPUs. All XMG Focus 16 devices come with an Intel Core i7-12700H and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060. Additionally, our review device was equipped with 2×16GB DDR4 RAM and a 1TB Samsung NVMe SSD.
All of this means we have a laptop that should handle most modern games. However, the RTX 3060 doesn't always manage to hit over 60fps at the highest graphical settings and at the device's native resolution.
Performance control and test conditions
The performance level of the current Schenker laptops is set via Control Center 3.0. Here you can find four choices for performance: from whisper mode to performance mode. Fan speeds, performance limits, and target temperatures are specified here. For anyone who likes to get to grips with these settings, Control Center also offers various options to adjust and monitor the fan speed.
This heavily affects the laptop's performance. In performance mode, 140 watts are available to the CPU and GPU. During testing, we observed a dynamic boost of around 25 watts. The processor alone can work at a good 65 watts. When running in whisper mode or energy-saving mode, the Intel Core i7 and the Nvidia RTX 3060's combined energy consumption hovers at around 45 watts. Due to the various fan setting options, in energy-saving mode, the hardware's temperature increases considerably slower due to the various fan setting options. Likewise, in battery mode, we measured a combined power consumption of around 25 watts.
Log analysis
Processor
The Intel Core i7-12700H belongs to the most powerful processors from Intel's Alder Lake generation. In the Schenker XMG Focus 16, the processor performs relatively well without reaching its best levels. Over the long term, the laptop was unable to handle being pushed as performance in the Cinbench loop dropped over time by more than 100 points.
Additionally, CPU scores show that the gaming laptop's i7 sits in the middle of the pack when compared to its competitors. Nevertheless, it performs higher than the average performance of an Intel Core i7-12700H. However, the 12700H performs at its best in the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro. In no single laptop in our database does the i7 perform better than the one found in the Legion. We determined a relatively high 105 watts for PL2 in the Schenker Laptop but only 65 watts for PL1.

System performance
While the Schenker laptop cannot be accused of weakness in normal use, a comparison with other powerful gaming laptops shows that more is possible. The PCMark10 and Crossmark benchmark results are slightly below average. As both benchmark programs do not put the SSD under long-term stress in any of the sub-tests, the somewhat slower DDR4 memory and the comparably low processor performance are more likely to be the culprits.

DPC latencies
The XMG Focus 16 doesn't stand alone in terms of high DPC latencies. With the current driver combination, the gaming laptop recorded high levels and is therefore unsuitable for real-time applications. No frames were skipped during the YouTube 4K 60Hz test.

Mass storage
The Schenker gaming laptop possesses a 1TB Samsung SSD 980 Pro. This powerful SSD is near the top of our benchmark table of SSDs and HDDs. The gaming laptop's NVMe storage is also a high performer. However, after a few runs in the DiskSpd loop, the NVMe SSD was throttled significantly. This behavior indicates poor heat dissipation. While many other manufacturers have started implementing thermal pads either on top of or under SSDs, in order to dissipate the operational heat, this is something that can't be said of Schenker's laptop.
