MagyarSchenker XMG Fusion 15 in Review: Intel's reference design challenges the competition
(Editor's note: The Schenker XMG Fusion 15 utilizes the same Intel-designed chassis as the Maingear Element and Eluktronics MAG 15. Thus, our comments, measurements, and conclusions on this page also apply to the Maingear and Eluktronics systems.)
Schenker has been making a name for itself for years, producing high-performance laptops mostly for gamers and also for professional users. Before us now we have something created in cooperation with Intel: The XMG Fusion 15. It features a screen size of 15 inches and the powerful i7-9750H with a GTX 1660 Ti or alternatively an RTX 2070 Max-Q.
The Fusion 15 is not just made for gamers, but instead also addresses the content creation market. The latter constitutes a growing segment and one that Lenovo, Acer, and Razer are targeting as well. With 93 Wh, the Fusion offers excellent battery life and the high-quality keyboard as well as the abundance of ports should also satisfy users. The memory configuration offers a lot of flexibility thanks to two M.2-2280 and two RAM slots.
The dynamic cooling solution is the most interesting aspect however, since it not only allows the hardware to reach its maximum performance potential, but it also allows for a runtime of an entire day. While Intel has managed to fully exhaust the GPU Boost potential of the graphics card, the GPU still remains below the 75 °C mark under load. Meanwhile, the processor can limit its clock rate in order to increase the graphics performance.
Users may choose between three different power modes that offer maximum performance, a balanced noise profile, or almost silent operation and long battery life. We were surprised by how long the laptop lasted in battery mode despite the powerful components inside.
It should also be noted that the laptop was imported through Intel's distribution channels. According to Schenker, this reduces order times and grants users a three-year replacement parts warranty. Final assembly, support, and service continue to take place in Leipzig.
Update 10/18/2019: We repeated the display measurements of the Fusion due to a defective measuring device and implemented the new results below. The display sub-rating improves from 80.7 to 84.3 %, but the overall score of the Fusion is still 84 % (after the rounding of the decimal place). We can now confirm the advertised contrast ratio of >1000:1.
Case
The case is made of a magnesium alloy, making the device up to 30% lighter than an aluminum chassis of equal size. Visually, the matte and relatively easy to grip case is reminiscent of plastic. However, the case feels like metal. Of course, the aluminum surface does not remain cool after hours of gaming and the associated, high heat development.
The twisting resistance of the lightweight case is good and it should be mentioned that it weighs around 200 g less than the other devices in our comparison. The measurements are similar to those of a Razer Blade 15 and all of the other competitors are much larger, particularly in depth. On the other hand, the Fusion 15 (20 mm) is not the thinnest gaming laptop either: The competitors' thicknesses are only 18-19 mm.
Connectivity
The ports are distributed across three sides, which means there are ports available on the back of the device. Here, HDMI 2.0 and Thunderbolt 3 with dual-link DP 1.4 output are available, but there is no USB Type-A. The adapter cable's DisplayPort is G-Sync compatible.
Conveniently, a Type-C dock or a Thunderbolt dual display cable configuration can be plugged in on the back for improved ergonomics. The Type-C port does not support Power Delivery. One USB port adheres to the USB-A 3.1 Gen 2 standard, enabling faster file transfers in conjunction with appropriate external storage devices.
SD Card Reader
The card reader does not appear to be in a hurry. While around 80 MB/s for copying or writing is not bad per se, we have seen gaming and business laptops reach 190-240 MB/s.

Communication
Connectivity options include Ethernet and the latest AX Wi-Fi. Conveniently, the Gigabit-LAN cable can be plugged in at the back. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5 (802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax) are provided by the Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200. It supports the latest generation Wi-Fi standard. In order to achieve maximum throughput, a matching router is required.
Although the transfer speeds were not crazy high, only an AC router was available for testing. It will be replaced by an AX router in the near future.
The HD webcam is Windows Hello compatible. As the pictures show, resolution, color accuracy, and sharpness fall on the lower end of the spectrum.

Security
With a Kensington lock and an integrated TPM 2.0 (via Intel PTT), the security aspect has not been neglected. However, there is no fingerprint scanner.
Software
The Control Center unites all of the system and hardware settings. The power profiles, which can also be switched using the hardware button, are available here as well.
Accessories
Schenker includes a USB-C/DP adapter free of charge. It allows for connecting a DisplayPort display. The Thunderbolt port supports dual-link DP, which means up to 2x4K over one cable. Conveniently, the Thunderbolt port is located on the back of the device, which prevents the cable from interfering on the sides.
Maintenance
Warranty
As per usual, the desired warranty option can be selected after the purchase, with options for two or three years. Within this time, users can opt for a quick repair warranty (for a premium).
Input Devices
Keyboard
Schenker and Intel did not cut corners when it comes to the mechanical keyboard with per-key lighting. The key clatter is not as loud as on a mechanical desktop equivalent. The silent switches and the shallow travel of 2 mm make the keyboard suitable for quieter environments.
Touchpad
The large ClickPad offers moderate key travel and a distinct acoustic feedback. It measures 13.5 centimeters diagonally and 11.7 cm in width. The smooth surface has excellent gliding properties.
Display
The matte BOE panel has a native resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. The contrast ratio of 690:1 is nothing to write home about and the competitors all offer more in this regard. On an entirely black image the screen's inability to display true black can be seen with the naked eye. However, the 144-Hz panel has a measured response time of just 8 and 9 milliseconds (black and gray, respectively). This makes it equal to the Asus Zephyrus S GX502GW, which scored the reference result in this exercise. The contrast ratio of the Zephyrus S is similarly low.
At 279 candela, the average brightness is not exactly great. The brightness in battery mode is almost identical. Illumination is very even at 91% and the brightness distribution is homogeneous. Backlight bleeding, which is depicted below with increased exposure, is minor and only slightly noticeable in a fully black image.

* ... smaller is better
The BOE only manages to cover 91% of the sRGB color space. Competitors do not do a better job or at least not a much better job. The more important question is, whether or not there is a blue tint ex-factory. Unfortunately, a blue tint caused by a deltaE of almost six is indeed present. The blue tint can be fixed entirely with calibration for a deltaE of 1.0 and perfect color parity.
Schenker offers an appropriate color profile in the download section, which eliminates the blue tint. A color temperature (standard, gaming, video, reading) can be selected from the Control Center. We left the color temperature adjustments disabled for our measurements. The pre-configured modes do not offer better color accuracy.

Performance
The gaming laptop's datasheet is impressive: The Intel Core i7-9750H (Coffee Lake) and GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q are powerful components, the likes of which can also be found in many other high-end gaming laptops. While the SoC and the GPU are nothing out of the ordinary, it is interesting to see how much performance the Intel reference model is able to squeeze out of the components.
The SoC, which is rated for a TDP of 45 watts, was designed for large and heavy laptops. For thinner devices, the configurable TDP can be reduced to 35 watts. However, this is not the case with our Schenker and even though things get crowded, the CPU package has a budget of around 50 watts.
Alternatively, the Fusion 15 can be equipped with a GeForce GTX 1660 Ti (6 GB GDDR6). Since the display is connected via Nvidia Optimus, the RTX card can be disabled in favor of the integrated UHD Graphics 630.
Performance Profiles
In the Control Center, Intel lets users choose between three different performance profiles, which are comprised of the building blocks CPU, GPU, and fan profile. This allows the CPU to run in balanced mode (TDP 63 W) and the GPU at 100% while gaming.
Enthusiast mode is supposed to satisfy gamers' needs: The graphics card runs at full power, while the processor runs in balanced mode in order to allow it to reduce the clock speed when the temperature rises too high.
Processor
As the Cinebench R15 loop confirms, the processor is able to unfold its full Turbo Boost potential even in mode 2 (balanced). The clock speeds fluctuate between 3.7 and 4.0 GHz. The core temperature rises to just below 90 °C, causing the clock speed to temporarily drop to 3.7 GHz. This translates to a performance deficit of 5% overall, although the Fusion starts out with a much higher score than competing devices with an identical SoC.

System Performance
In terms of application performance, the Fusion 15 leaves its opposition in the dust and claims first place. That being said, the performance lead of just +1 % relative to the Acer Predator Triton 500 is small. Meanwhile, our test device cannot claim the top spot when it comes to productivity, falling behind by 3% compared to the first place Gigabyte Aero 15 Classic.

Graphics Performance
The GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q (TU106) is equipped with 8 GB of GDDR6 video memory. The GPU cores run at 885 MHz and can boost to up to 1,478 MHz.
The video memory is accessed through a 256-bit interface.
Max-Q denotes a more economical version of the mobile RTX 2070. Reduced clock speeds result in significantly lower power consumption and make the card suitable for thin laptops. As the clock speed readings during our The Witcher 3 ultra test confirm (1,478 MHz average; 1,700 MHz maximum), the installed Max-Q card is the powerful 90-watt TDP variant. Meanwhile, HWiNFO indicates a GPU power of just 80 watts.
In 3DMark, the Fusion 15 leaps ahead of competing devices in the comparison and is able to claim a sizeable performance lead of 6-9%.

Gaming Performance
In order to evaluate the gaming performance, we performed our The Witcher 3 ultra test without the 60-FPS limit. During the test, the laptop consistently shows a high consumption of around 190 W and the GPU runs at 1,350 to 1,450 MHz. While this makes the Fusion 15 as good as the best thin gaming laptops, it does not make it better than them.

The following screenshots show the clock speeds of the CPU and GPU during The Witcher 3 ultra during battery mode and while on mains. The performance is limited in battery mode, where the GPU clock falls from 1,400 MHz (mains) to 1,300 MHz. In turn, the GPU's power draw drops to 30 watts (from 60 watts) and the temperature decreases to 63 °C (from 74 °C).

In order to check whether the frame rates remain consistent over a prolonged period of time, we played The Witcher 3 for around 60 minutes in Full HD resolution and with maximum detail settings. The character controlled by the player was not moved during this time. The frame rate does not decrease over time and there is no drop in performance.
