Chassis, connectors, screen of the Medion Erazer Crawler E40 (MD62563)

It has a relatively sober appearance while adopting gamer codes with its black design with angular lines and connectors positioned partly at the back.

This creative gaming laptop PC integrates good connectivity with its USB-C, its 2 useful HDMI video outputs + mini-DisplayPort to easily connect it to a TV or a monitor for example, its Wi-Fi 6E ax and Bluetooth 5.1 for remote connections and communications, its audio and Ethernet ports or its 3 USB ports including 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if peripherals USB 3.0 are plugged into it.

You can backlight the keys of the chiclet keyboard to better distinguish them when the ambient light is reduced.

Users will appreciate that the screen clearly improves fluidity in everyday life, including in games, thanks to its frequency of 144Hz, which is higher than the standard 60Hz. As it is anti-reflective, the screen is also more readable in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors) than a shiny panel. Furthermore, the screen lends itself well to displaying High Definition content such as videos due to its Full HD definition and its 16:9 format. Thanks to its IPS technology, the screen also has significant viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical.

Performance, autonomy of the Medion Erazer Crawler E40 (MD62563)

The Medion Erazer Crawler E40 (MD62563) is a versatile 15-inch laptop PC that performs well in creative-oriented gaming equipped with recent components.

The solid general performance it delivers is capable of satisfying a maximum of users. Because it relies on 16 GB of RAM as well as an Intel Alder Lake-H Core i5-12450H hybrid processor.

This core will interest creators because it ensures faster processing than 8 GB DDR4 as well as a classic Quad Core. We particularly feel the difference in work requiring RAM and CPU resources using multi-cores, such as photo editing or video editing.

Creative people will be even more delighted as the dedicated onboard GeForce RTX 4050 graphics card accelerates processing under software taking advantage of multi-core. This is for example the case with Sony Vegas, Adobe Photoshop/Premiere or VSDC.

In addition to the creators the GeForce RTX 4050 ray tracing. Because it is possible to play recent games thanks to the dedicated NVIDIA Ada Lovelace graphics card.

In practice, the GeForce RTX 4050 is activated/deactivated automatically and in real time by NVIDIA Optimus technology depending on the tasks performed.

Optimus favors maximum operation on the Intel Iris

In terms of autonomy, expect around 4 hours of battery operation in light use, which should be expected to heat up and be heard when pushed hard (e.g. games, treatments).

The storage is obviously entrusted to an SSD thanks to which games/software launches are carried out more quickly than with a hard disk as are processing and starts/stops while we reach the online game cards more quickly.
On a daily basis, the SSD generally ensures much better fluidity and responsiveness on a daily basis than a simple hard drive.

Because in addition to being more resistant to shock, less energy consuming and silent, an SSD is much faster than a hard drive.
With its 512 GB, the SSD offers a capacity equivalent to what hard drives offer as standard. However, if you need more space, you can rely on an external storage unit. Opting for a USB 3.0/USB-C device then represents an interesting solution to benefit from fast transfers.

This model may be suitable for those looking for a Student laptop efficient in gaming and creation without needing a lot of autonomy.

If necessary to contain the temperatures, we can add to this computer a ventilated support (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
