Chassis, connectors, screen of the Erazer Crawler E50i MD62654

With its angular black design with connections positioned on 3 sides, this versatile player- and creator-oriented laptop has a relatively discreet gamer look.

This creative-oriented gaming laptop PC stands out in terms of connectivity since it offers no less than 2 HDMI video outputs + mini-DisplayPort thanks to which it can easily be connected to a TV and/or a monitor for example, but also 2 USB-C (compared to 1 maximum usually) in addition to 3 practical USBs for connecting various peripherals, Ethernet and audio ports as well as Wi-Fi 6E ax and Bluetooth 5.1 wireless modules for remote connections and communications without forgetting a video reader. microSD cards. We therefore find ourselves here with more connectivity than average.
It’s a shame, however, that the Bluetooth standard is old.

In any case, we appreciate that the chiclet keyboard has a backlighting solution. Because it is certainly an expected feature but always appreciable to activate as soon as you need to better discern the keys.

Players will be delighted that the screen has a refresh rate of 144Hz since it provides greater fluidity in everyday life, including in games, than the standard 60Hz.
Featuring a 16:9 format which lends itself well to displaying videos, the Full HD screen adopts IPS technology guaranteeing significant viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically.
As it has an anti-reflective treatment, it is also more readable in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors) than a shiny panel.

Performance, autonomy of the Erazer Crawler E50i MD62654

The Erazer Crawler E50i MD62654 is a versatile 15-inch laptop with provided connectivity, performing well in creative-oriented gaming.

Players can play as many games as possible on this gaming laptop PC since it features the dedicated GeForce RTX 4050 ray tracing NVIDIA Ada Lovelace graphics card.
Under the most demanding titles in 3D resources, concessions are obviously to be expected to obtain good playability.

In any case, if the GeForce RTX 4050 will interest gamers, this will also be the case for creators.
Because under software using GPU computing power, it accelerates processing, which is for example the case under VSDC, Vegas or the Adobe suite.

Operation on the Iris Xe graphics solution housed in the processor is preferred as long as possible using NVIDIA Optimus technology. And this while the performance of the Iris Xe is much lower than that of the GeForce RTX 4050.
This is because the Iris Xe consumes little energy and therefore promotes autonomy which here is around 4 hours of battery operation in light use.

Depending on the tasks performed, Optimus determines the necessary graphics resources in real time. If necessary, it activates the more demanding and, above all, powerful GeForce RTX 4050, typically for gaming. Then deactivates it when the performance of the Iris Xe is deemed sufficient.

It is the Core i5-12450H which houses the Iris Xe, an Intel processor. Alder Lake. Certainly an older generation, the Core i5-12450H equipped with 8 hybrid cores and coupled here with 16 GB of RAM delivers good general performance which will satisfy many users.

Note, however, that if you plan to often carry out work that requires processor resources, it is better to opt for a PC equipped with a recent non-low consumption processor offering a higher number of efficient cores.

In any case, thanks to its high speed, silent, energy-efficient SSD storage obviously helps to ensure good responsiveness/fluidity on a daily basis.
In practice, under this versatile gaming laptop, accessing online game cards is quick, as is launching software/games, carrying out processing or even starting/stopping.

Logically with regard to the positioning of the computer, 512 GB of capacity is offered here, a solution of which there are also quantities of configuration on the market, including (much) more expensive.
However, if you need more space, you can use an external storage device, preferably USB 3.2 Type-C if you want to maximize transfer speed compared to classic USB 3.0 (and even more so USB 2.0).

Finally, expect an increase in temperature and noise generated by this versatile, creative-oriented gaming laptop under heavy load (e.g. gaming, processing).
A ventilated support can be associated with it if necessary to limit its temperatures (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
