Medion Erazer X6815 Notebook Review

Medion is a very hot iron in Erazer Fire X6815. What is the manufacturer is able to merge the 2630QM Core i7, GeForce GT 555m, Full HD BluRay drives and 800 euros.

At a price of 800 euros, is given not only to buy a quad core processor from Intel next generation Sandy Bridge (2630QM Core i7) and DirectX 11 compatible graphics card in the upper midrange (GeForce 555), but also a full HD screen with the corresponding BluRay drive (CD and DVD burning). A four GB of DDR3 RAM and a 500 GB hard part in. The 64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium running operation.

With a relatively fast and as hard to find laptops at this price - you need to accept compromises, at least one area. For example, until now the price-quality point, HP dv6-Series (GeForce 6770M) does not have a Full HD screen. So we were very curious about where Medion has unavoidably made cuts. To determine whether Erazer X6815 is recommended for a bargain in this review.

Case
The case does not necessarily allow conclusions on the inside power. Medion is based on a black plastic case that is not a visible impression or qualitatively impressive. The bright surfaces quickly the earth. The book is filled with fingerprints and dust as soon as possible.

If you do not take care when carrying around or during cleaning, you will quickly get scratches on the material. Matt surfaces, the X6813 big brother, would certainly have been more viable.

What works, there is much to criticize. X6815 is a large building. Our test unit showed no irregular edges or openings. At least the AP appealed to the stability. Start seemingly deprived of the touch-sensitive bar. In return, the cover is not very hard - the dilemma of a typical laptop.

Hinges must accept a greater appeal. Even if the base is unlikely to increase the openness, the vibration causes the screen surface to crumble. Total weight 2.7 pounds and a height of nearly four laptop cents more than acceptable, because the performance

Connections
Medion is confined to the most needed in terms of connectivity. If you definitely need an ExpressCard slot, eSATA or FireWire, you inevitably look around for an alternative.

Besides the usual suspects, such as outlet, Kensington lock, VGA, HDMI output, respectively, the X6815 has Erazo four USB ports (two USB 3.0). Stereo headphones or speakers can be connected to the laptop through two audio ports.

We just wanted to jack the investment on the left. And 'better on the right. The cables are rather in a way, when the mouse is used. Cause: The doors are located far away from the front.

Performance
The processor is one of the best components Erazer X6815. Medion ie to donate 15 inches with a quad core faster. Intel Core i7 will be Sandy Bridge 2630QM generation of powerful, and is produced in 32 nm process.

The processor is able to calculate eight threads simultaneously thanks to Hyper Threading (simulates four virtual cores). Players will first look forward to the Turbo Boost function, which allows standard clock of 2.00 GHz to be increased to a maximum of 2.90 GHz. The six MB of L3 cache and 995 million transistors (i5 series: 3 MB and 624 million) also deserve respect.

In addition, Intel equips its Sandy Bridge processors are small graphics chip HD 3000 Graphics allows notebook manufacturers to build a chart speed manual or automatic. The processor is not particularly cheap. Intel says a thermal power of 45 watts.
