Schenker XMG A517 (Clevo N850EP6) Laptop Review

Mixed performance. From a purely technical point of view, the XMG A517 from Schenker Technologies is quite up-to-date. Key words such as hexa-core CPU, 144-Hz panel, and NVMe SSD will please a gamer's heart and promise a good performance. We clarify in...

powerful Control Center ; individual configuration ; good input devices ; moderate weight ; RGB illumination ; no bloatware ; 144 Hz display ; NVMe SSD

The XMG A517 has some difficulties trying to compete with current gaming laptops from Acer, Alienware, Asus, Gigabyte and MSI. Its case quality, speakers and emission values (temperature, system noise) do not justify its price of €1200 (~$1378) for the...
