Bro, it's hard to find an English review on these Medion devices, especially when most are in German. So, thank you for doing this and good luck with many more reviews
Thanks a ton my man! We are always trying to find a balance between the popular laptops and something a bit more niche, since we know those are also relevant to some of you guys!
hi.thx for the well done review. i check you review on your site and this video but i have a question. can you limit fps to make less noise and spare battery ? Can you do it per software like in nvidia control panel? also can you choose between integrated graphics and dedicated gpu for each software or is it dedicated only? here in belgium it's 999€ right now. thx again. subscribed
Hi, For autodesk, its good option? Would you choose another? I'm between this and a laptop with i7 12650 and rtx 3060 that i think would be good. Great Video!!!
Possibly wait for next gen. I really hope they compete well in mobile space as well. Arc would really benefit from better drivers too. Can't wait to see them evolve in 2 to 3 years.
It might be a good move. That said, the current hardware is pretty good, as is shown by the synthetics and something like Resolve. But with anything else, they do have quite a bit of work to do.
Great content! I have a question, what laptop would you recommend, i work as a trader using metatrader program, but i would use it for some casual gaming from time to time like dota 2, probably diablo iv when it comes out and amateur modeling in unreal engine 5. its important to have decent cooling and good screen, weight is not an issue, price is not an issue. Thanks in advance for answering and sorry for the long text.
Thanks man! Mh, tough question. What display size are you looking for? For such a mixed use-case I would get something with an RTX 3070 Ti. I personally really liked the ROG Flow X16. - Alex
@@NotebookcheckReviews from 15” and up, at home i can hook it to few monitors to see better those tabs for trading, but when i want to work lets say at a caffee i dont want to kill my eyes, awesome fast response, thank you Alex.
Yeah then definitly check out the 16" offerings. It is a great sweetspot between the screen real estate of 17" with the portability of a 15". I enjoy this size a lot!
Is there a faster way of transferring my content from the old to the new laptop, pls? Also, how can i activate (changing...)and the keyboard bg light ?
Intel ARC notebooks and iGPUs are now in 2024 storming the market with fantastic performance, great drivers and fantastic value for money. Oh wait, no. Intel needs to get new strategy or new people in their GPU division. Perhaps the former Kyro people.
Right now in Spain you can find it at 899€. It sounds great, but little information is found about this laptop and how it is compare now with laptopa equipped with i5 12th gen plus RTX3060 in the same price range. I feel it is still a bit risky. Thanks for the video.

Read about this price a few days ago. Great deal, especially when you'd the patience to wait until now, with the again and again improved drivers. Ordered it saturday for 1500€. First I struggled and compared a lot to laptop's with nvidia gpu, but I guess I'll be pretty happy with that device. Time will tell.

It was Medion breaks + loud. It has become Medion is loud. If they proceed like this, in 5 years they might offer the first worthwhile notebooks. --robert jasiek
Actually, Medion put together a solid notebook. And in regards to noise, it is not worse than any other gaming notebook out there. I would even go es far as saying that its better, especially in the gaming mode.
I think I'll just bring this one back... That gpu is good, but not good enough. Starfield and halo infinite don't even launch and I struggle with complicated projects on FL studio.
@@Eugene17717 pc specifications ? These exact ones. As far as the maximum size goes, around 97 mb with two recordings. I use Canva and clipchamp too, I had the same problem in those situations

I just got a Omen 16 2022 with 6900hx, 6650M, 32gb DDR5 RAM, QHD 165Hz display for 200 bucks cheaper than last gen 3060 Legion 5 and it's faster than the Legion... LoL
@@NotebookcheckReviews 6600M is exactly equal to 3060 and 6650M is faster than 6600M so it's obviously faster. By how much idk I guess it'll be like 5-10%. It also has a auto MUX, like advanced optimus called "smart access graphics"
@Ex Christian khus for the display it has an QHD option which is similar to 5 Pro display but I went for 1080p for dota 2. And it's faster than 3060 not 3070... The point is it costs like 3050 but performs better than 3060
you should add vulkan api in games which would help in boosting frame rates as @randongamingHD did so it would tell real performance in non DX12 titles since intel has good vulkan support

@@NotebookcheckReviews Indeed. And also hopefully, developers will jump into the bandwagon of supporting Arc. Only time will tell.
Absolutely, I think that particular support from developers is resulting in the optimization problems they have right now.

Haha we always try to surprise you guys ;)
Will there be a re test as drivers mature?
I will look into it!
@@NotebookcheckReviewshey man , can you do a test RIGHT now? With new drivers? Will be really helful for me 😊

This laptop is discounted here from 1799 to 999 lol. Might be actually worth it now.
That is definitely a good deal!

Ordered it saturday for 1500€.
First I struggled and compared a lot to laptop's with nvidia gpu, but I guess I'll be pretty happy with that device. Time will tell.

Sure thing!
Battery is not that good 54wh but the specs are really good for 1000 euro's but will it last long enough for a college day

What are you missing?
I hear Medion Laptops are famous for breaking down. And nightmare to get repaired. Any truth?

Thanks for the tip, lets see if you we can add a few vulkan titles to our benchmark parcour for future comparisons.
