Schenker XMG Pro 15 (Clevo PC50HS-D) review: Thin and light 4K gaming laptop
The Schenker XMG Pro 15 from late 2021 is a lightweight, compact 15.6-inch gaming laptop. It is based on the Clevo barebone (PC50HS-D) and powered by a Core-i7-11800H CPU and a mobile GeForce RTX 3080 GPU. It competes directly with devices such as the Lenovo Legion S7 15ACH6, MSI Delta 15, Alienware x15 and the Razer Blade 15 Advanced (Mid 2021).

Case - Schenker laptop with a metal chassis
For the XMG Pro, Schenker uses a slim metal chassis in matte black. Since the simple and yet elegant chassis comes without any striking visual accents, it is suitable for professional settings. Compared to the XMG Pro 15 model from early 2021, there are only a few minor differences. There is no maintenance hatch and the battery is fixed.
The construction does not warrant criticism. The clearances are even and there are no undesired material protrusions. While the lid and base unit yield slightly when twisted at the corners, the rigidity is still solid overall. The hinges hold the lid firmly in place, even though they allow for some teetering. The display can be opened to up to 130 degrees. It is possible to open the laptop with just one hand.
The XMG Pro is one of the most compact devices in our comparison and only ever-so-slightly larger than the Blade 15. For the most part, all laptops in our comparison are even in terms of their weight. Only the Alienware x15 deviates from this and weighs around 400 g more.
Connectivity - Schenker XMG with Thunderbolt 4
The XMG Pro integrates three USB type-A ports (USB 3.2 Gen 1) and one USB type-C port (Thunderbolt 4). The latter can be connected to a feature-rich docking station or an external GPU. Furthermore, the port supports DisplayPort via USB-C. Combined with the Mini DisplayPort and the HDMI port, there are three video outputs in total. All three video outputs support G-Sync. For the USB type-C port, this has to manually be enabled from within the BIOS. There is no integrated card reader.
The ports are distributed across three sides of the notebook. All three video outputs are located on the back of the device. As a result, connected cables are run along the back and do not get in the way.
Communication
The Wi-Fi module is based on an Intel chip (AX201) and supports the 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax standards. Under optimal conditions (no other Wi-Fi devices in the vicinity, notebook and server in close proximity), we observed excellent transfer rates. A Realtek Gigabit Ethernet controller handles wired networking. We did not encounter any issues with it during our testing.
Webcam
The Webcam (0.9 MP) captures images with a maximum resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. The color accuracy is lacklustre: The colors significantly deviate from their ideal values.
Accessories
Aside from warranty information and a manual, there is a recovery DVD, a cleaning cloth, USB thumbdrive and a M.2 screw included in the package.
Maintenance
Performing maintenance and upgrading the system is simple. After loosening all screws on the bottom of the device, the bottom plate can be removed with the help of an object with a sharp edge. Subsequently, users can access the SSD, secondary M.2 slot, Wi-Fi module, battery, RAM and the fans.
Warranty
The manufacturer offers a base warranty of two years with pick up and return service in certain European countries as well as a 6-month rapid repair service (repair within 48 hours). A warranty extension to 36 months can cost from 100-149 Euros (~$110-$170) - depending on the rapid repair period.
Input Devices - Keyboard with RGB backlight
Keyboard
The Schenker laptop is equipped with a backlit RGB chiclet keyboard that includes a numpad. The flat, smooth keys offer medium travel and a distinct actuation point. We are pleased with the key feedback. The keyboard area slightly yields while typing. This did not end up being an issue during our testing. The keyboard backlight has three brightness settings, which can be controlled via two function keys. Overall, the keyboard is well-suited to daily use.
Touchpad
The smooth surface (~10.8x6.1 cm) of the touchpad supports multi-touch gestures and has good gliding properties. It responds well to inputs all the way into the corners. The two dedicated mouse buttons offer medium travel and a distinct actuation point.
Display - Gaming Notebook with a 4K OLED panel
The reflective OLED screen (3840 x 2160 pixels) offers an excellent contrast ratio (22150:1) as well as black value (0.02) and short response times. The brightness (433.7 nits) is also pleasantly high. At brightness levels of 81 % and lower, our measuring devices detect flickering with a frequency of 60 to 240 Hz. Due to the low frequency, sensitive users may exerpience headaches or eyestrain. As an alternative to the OLED panel, Schenker also has a matte FHD display (IPS, 300 Hz) on offer. The same panel can be found on the Early-2021-Modell des XMG Pro, which we also reviewed.

* ... smaller is better
The X-Rite certification of the screen ensures a natural color representation. Even ex-factory, the color deviation is very low and impossible to notice with the naked eye. The display does not suffer from a blue tint. The color space coverage is wide: The screen can display 98 % and 89 % of the sRGB and AdobeRGB color spaces, respectively (we may retest this, since Schenker reaches 100 % in their own testing).

The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 10 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.9 ms). |
Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
Screen flickering / PWM detected | 60 Hz | ≤ 81 % brightness setting | |
The display backlight flickers at 60 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 81 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 60 Hz is very low, so the flickering may cause eyestrain and headaches after extended use. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8774 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. |
Since the panel has good viewing angles, it can be read from any position. Outdoors, reading the display's content can be tricky due to its reflective nature.
Performance - Sufficient for years to come
With the XMG Pro 15, Schenker has created a slim, compact 15.6-inch gaming notebook with enough performance reserves to run all current games smoothly.
Testing Conditions
The preinstalled Control Center software allows users to select a power profile (see table), among other things. The performance profile with automatic fan control was selected prior to running any benchmarks. Several benchmarks were also run using the other three profiles. The results can be found in the comparison tables. The battery life tests were run using the "Entertainment mode".
Performance mode | Entertainment mode | Power saving mode | Silent mode | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Power Limit 1 | 55 watts | 45 watts | 20 watts | 15 watts |
Power Limit 2 | 135 watts | 90 watts | 90 watts | 90 watts |
max. TGP | 105 watts | 90 watts | 80 watts | 80 watts |
Processor
The octa-core processore Core i7-11800H (Tiger Lake) runs at a base clock of 2.3 GHz. With Turbo, it boosts to up to 4.2 GHz (eight cores) or 4.6 GHz (single core). Hyper-Threading (two threads per core) is supported.
During the Cinebench R15 Multi benchmark, the CPU runs at 4 to 4.1 GHz (on mains) or 1 to 4.1 GHz (battery mode). During the single-thread benchmark, the CPU runs at 1.6 to 4.6 GHz in both cases.
By running the Cinebench R15 multi-thread benchmark in a loop for at least 30 minutes, we determine whether the CPU Turbo Boost is constantly active. This turns out to be the case and the Turbo runs at high clock speeds.
With the silent power profile, the performance drops significantly. High Turbo Boost frequencies are then only achieved intermittently. Regardless, the reduced performance is more than sufficient for office and web-browsing workloads and even light gaming.
