![]() Medion has resisted going down the hardcore gamer path. ![]() At 2.6kg, it’s on the light side for a 17-inch gamer and at 383 x 36 x 272mm it’s not overly large either and 3mm of that depth is taken up by the substantial rubber feet the X40 sits on. It’s a solid old lump in terms of the main body but there is a lot of flex in the thin lid. Like its X25 and X30 forebears, it’s a sober matt black affair and made entirely from metal. I wouldn’t describe the X40 as a visually demonstrative gaming laptop. At just under £3,500 (or £3,000 for the RTX 4080 model), it’s considerably cheaper than the 18-inch machines coming from makers like Asus ROG and Razer. The display doesn’t have a clever multi-zone Mini LED backlight so HDR performance is nonexistent but that’s the only drawback.ĭespite the tip-top specification, Medion hasn’t forsaken its value-for-money pitch. The Lenovo-owned brand does have some impressive machines in its lineup, and the new Erazer Beast X40 is one of the very best.Ī thoroughbred next-generation gaming laptop, the X40 features the latest and greatest components from Nvidia and Intel. The Medion brand can occasionally be found at Aldi, the discount UK supermarket, and it shows. Excellent value Granted £3,500 is a lot for a laptop with a Medion badge but roughly equivalent machines from the likes of Asus ROG, MSI and Razer will cost you much more. ![]() High-quality 240Hz display The 17in 16:10 2,560 x 1,600 IPS may lack a trick Mini-LED backlight but it’s bright, fast, colourful and colour accurate.Superb performance The combination of a 175W RTX4090 GPU and a 24-core Raptor Lake Core i9 processor gives the X40 a very, very serious turn of speed no matter what the task.
