Medion Erazer Deputy P25 for 1499 euros
The processor of the Medion Erazer Deputy P25 is the eight-core AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, which can process up to 16 tasks (threads) simultaneously and runs at clock rates of 3.2 to 4.4 GHz. The Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060 graphics card achieves a GPU clock of at least 1702 MHz in boost and uses 6 GB of GDDR6 video memory. The maximum graphics power is 130 watts – the built-in RTX 3060 offers around 10 percent more power than GPUs from the 100 watt class. The duo enables smooth Full HD gaming with a very high level of detail for all games. With activated ray tracing, however, you have to reduce the level of detail in performance-hungry games. Additional hardware features include 16 GB of RAM with 3200 MHz, a very large PCIe SSD with two terabytes, GBit LAN, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0.
