Medion Erazer Beast 16 X1 Ultimate Laptop Review

If only the CPU is a HX385, this would have been a killer.

All Core Ultra processors are like....meh....

Not against Intel, but these Core Ultra processors are one of the worst debuts of Intel.
 
Considering all the negative comments about 5000 series laptop GPUs, this really isn't so bad.
The gaming scores are in line with my HP Omen with a 150+25 watt 4090, and though synthetic, it scores 800 points higher in Time spy.
It is $350 more than my HP though.

Intel is obviously better choice. Otherwise they would use AMD.

Then I woke up.

Alas, there are VERY few laptops that have AMD CPUs inside - especially flagship models... It's been a few years since AMD has dominated on the desktop side, maybe they should get their act in gear and start making some deals?

Deals need at least two sides. If laptop makers want Intel" because", there is not much AMD could do.

lol - that’s not how business works… Intel is offering a better deal to laptop makers to incorporate their CPUs… AMD should be able to make better deals - but they’ve chosen not to… I’m assuming because they haven’t allocated resources to their mobile division…

Intel better deals = offer money not to use AMD. That has happened before. No wonder AMD rather grab server CPU share.
 
They should have more RESOURCES.... Intel's cash reserves are *hopefully* going to their actual infrastructure and chip design...
Not easy to bribe manufacturers with just resources. They want money or ultra cheap deals, first consumes money and latter means less money incoming. Both need money that s out of investments. AMD has made many deals lately (=bought other smaller companies).
