From Paris, and with a lot of love, the manufacturer Medion has presented to us – because we have been able to see them first hand – its new range of products for this year 2023, among which without a doubt stands out the new “beast” that aims to that is going to unseat all other competing gaming laptops; This is the Medion Erazer Beast X40 , equipped with all the latest technologies and the most powerful hardware for laptops available today, including the possibility of using external liquid cooling to guarantee the lowest possible temperatures.
Just a few months ago we showed you our review of the Medion Erazer Beast X30, a really striking and powerful gaming laptop that left a great taste in our mouths, especially due to its performance, since what you expect from a gaming laptop is nothing more than a Outstanding gaming performance . Now, the manufacturer has presented the evolution, an Erazer Beast X40 in which they seem to have thrown all the meat on the grill.
Medion’s Erazer Beast X40 arrives to rule them all
The German manufacturer has not wanted to leave anything to chance in what will undoubtedly be its flagship product for this year, and the technical characteristics of this Erazer Beast X40 are simply spectacular; To begin with, what stands out the most is its GeForce NVIDIA RTX 4090 dedicated laptop version, a graphics card with a 175W TGP that moves any game with everything to the maximum without messing up. In case you didn’t know, this is the first laptop to equip this graphics card .
Of course, this graphics card is complemented by an impressive 17-inch QHD+ (2,880 x 1,440 pixels) display with 240Hz refresh rate , 100% sRGB color coverage, and G-SYNC technology.
As the famous slogan used to say, “power without control is useless”, and Medion complements this powerful graphics card with a latest generation processor, a 13th Generation Intel Core i9-13900HX (this processor has 24 cores (8 cores P and 16 E) cores and 32 processing threads that reach 5.4 GHz), along with 32 GB of 4,800 MHz DDR5 RAM and a 1 TB capacity M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD.
Optional external liquid cooling!
And now a curious fact: surely you have already noticed that the graphics card has a TGP of 175W, while the processor has a TDP of 55W, which means a high consumption (in fact, its external power supply is 330 watts) and high heat generation.
And since temperature is a total enemy of laptops, Medion has installed an advanced liquid metal cooling system to ensure that it works at a low temperature, but the most curious thing is that an external liquid cooling system can be installed to cool as much the processor as the graphics.
The connectivity is not left to chance either, and the manufacturer has installed an Intel AX211 network card with WiFi 6E + Bluetooth 5.1, in addition of course to a 2.5 GbE RJ-45. In addition to this, the Medion Erazer Beast X40 has two USB 3.2 Gen 1, one USB 3.2 Gen 2, a Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) port, HDMI 2.1 output, and the usual connectors for audio, SD card reader, and lock Kensington security (in addition to the special port to connect this liquid cooling that we just talked about).
Cherry signed mechanical keyboard
Another outstanding feature is the presence of a mechanical keyboard signed by Cherry. We are talking about a Cherry MX Ultra Low Profile. Or what is the same, a keyboard that has little or nothing to envy to those of any desktop PC, with a latency of less than a millisecond between pressing and action. In addition, as is clear from its name, it has keys of a minimum height.
It is not the only Medion launch for 2023
At the presentation, although all the spotlights were on the Beast X40, Medion also announced its line-up of gaming laptops for 2023, which also includes series for both high-end and media gaming, where the Medion Erazer will stand out. Major X20 (which will also mount the NVIDIA 4070) as well as the Deputy P50 or the more modest Crawler E40.
Price and availability
The new Medion Erazer Beast X40 will be available in stores from next week, although the manufacturer has not announced the price at the moment (however, considering its features and the hardware it incorporates, it is not difficult to guess that it will be Really expensive). In any case, keep in mind that in this article we have talked about the top-of-the-range model, and Medion will launch lower versions on the market that, of course, will also have a lower price.
