Aldi sells gaming notebook with Intel Arc graphics card

Until now, if you wanted to buy a gaming notebook, you had to choose between an Intel or AMD processor and an Nvidia or AMD graphics card. Intel recently came onto the market with its own dedicated graphics cards and now, with the Medion Erazer Major X10, Aldi is offering a gaming notebook for the first time that is equipped with the Intel Arc A730M with 12 GB of graphics memory. You can buy that Gaming notebook from October 27 for 1,999 euros in the online shop (look at Aldi).

A good gaming notebook except for the graphics card

With the exception of the built-in graphics card, the Medion gaming notebook is solidly equipped. You get a high-resolution 16-inch display, the fast Intel Core i7-12700H processor, 32 GB of RAM and a 2 TB SSD. You can at least work very quickly with it, even if the graphics card can’t quite keep up. It’s quite possible that Intel can add updates again. You can of course experiment, but you can also get a gaming notebook with RTX 3080 for less money (check it out on Amazon). You should think about where the money is better invested.
