Medion equipped the Erazer
X7817 with a
17.3'' display that features Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution. Furthermore the display
comes with LED backlight. We
liked that it wasn't a glare type display which is why there are no reflections
when your in a brightly lit room. Really good were the colors and the
contrast ratio. Also the brightness is on a very good level with an average of
more than 240 Candela per square meter. But not only brightness and contrast are
very good, the display also offers very good viewing angle stability. Even if
many people stand around this notebook everybody will be able to read or see
content of any kind.

The Erazer
X7817 Gaming
Notebook comes with a full-size keyboard and a number pad next to it. Basically the keyboard is much
alike an Apple keyboard. The key drop is well chosen and the pressure point
leaves a good impression. Unfortunately the keyboard is bending a bit while
typing. The keys themselves come with a smooth surface. This is another
indicator for a high build quality. Since this is a gaming notebook we would
have loved to see the arrow key place separately between the keyboard and the
number pad.
Centered, below the keyboard you can find the touchpad. Fortunately this has
not been integrated into the material of this case and offers a left and a right
key. The touchpad also offers scrolling functionality which does a really good
job. We have to say, except from the buttons the touchpad is very good.
Unfortunately it takes quite a lot of force until the buttons release.
