The new Aldi notebook Medion Erazer Guardian X10 (from January 28, 2021 at Aldi Nord) looks really chic and should make gamer hearts beat faster.
What's in it?
How fast does it work?
And does it have enough breath?
The “Computer Bild” test provides answers!

It's not a big chunk: Instead of the 17-inch format popular with gamers, the Guardian comes in a more compact case.
Its 15.6-inch screen shows websites, games and films in full HD with 1920x1080 pixels on its almost 40-centimeter screen diagonal.
The color fidelity was at a high level in the test (98 percent), contrast (701: 1) and brightness (309 candelas per square meter) are okay.
Really good: The refresh rate of 144 Hertz prevents streaks and ghosting in fast action scenes and also ensures that inputs are implemented as quickly as possible, for example when gamers pull the trigger in a shooter.

Inside, Medion has installed Intel's latest Comet Lake H processor - the Core i7-10750H.
This is a six-core that works with a base clock rate of 2.6 gigahertz, and boost technology allows individual cores to work briefly at up to 5 gigahertz.
New: The CPU does not only achieve this high clock frequency with turbo technology, but with "Thermal Design Velocity Boost".
This means: You may briefly significantly exceed the power loss limit (TDP; 45 watts).
Also good: The processor is supported by a very generous 32 gigabyte RAM.
For games and programs, the Medion has an M.2 SSD with an effective 953 gigabyte memory and PCI Express 3.0 connection.

The image reproduction is calculated by Nvidia's second most powerful graphics chip, Geforce RTX 2070, the newer RTX 2070 super version is not used in this notebook.
The graphics chip is supported by 8 gigabytes of graphics memory of the type GDDR6.
He can distribute tasks to 2304 Cuda units.
It also has special units that calculate effects using ray tracing technology.
This includes, for example, the dynamic display of soft shadows and light effects.
In future games, for example, rapidly rotating headlights should project fine light effects with different intensities into the game environment.

At the same time, the chips adjust the strength of the shadows cast by people and objects in real time.
The RTX 2070 has 36 ray tracing cores so that the performance does not deteriorate.
Lots of power - even for 4K games

As a pure work machine, the Aldi notebook with this technology was downright oversized in the test - it did both office tasks and photo and video editing in no time at all.
And it didn't show any weaknesses when it came to gaming either: even graphically demanding titles such as "Assassin's Creed Odyssey" were shown in Full HD at 170 frames per second without any stuttering.
Should it be a bit sharper?
No problem!
Players are welcome to connect a 4K monitor - the Medion also showed games finely drawn in the test with 3840x2160 pixels without stuttering (60 frames per second).
A lot of breath
Surprising: The Guardian did not go too far when it came to energy consumption!
In the test, one battery charge was enough for around five hours.
This is not a brilliant achievement for normal office notebooks, but a very respectable value for gaming machines.
Not so nice, but also typical for gaming hardware: The fans had their hands full supplying the processor and graphics chip with fresh air - which led to an annoyingly high noise level (up to 8.4 sone).
Fortunately, most gamers wear a headset when they play.
