To follow up on the test of the excellent quality/price ratio Medion Erazer Crawler E40 equipped with an NVIDIA RTX 4050, I offer you a very quick look at its blood brother, the DEPUTY P40, this time equipped an NVIDIA RTX 4060 and 8 GB of VRAM.
It's a bit unclear in the range of gaming laptops from Erazer. What makes this Deputy different from the Crawler? On the technical sheet, only one component: its GPU. An RTX 4060 comes to take the place of the 4050, already devilishly efficient. Chassis, screen, keyboard,… everything else is identical. Also, the test will be very quick. It is enough for you to read that of the Crawler E40 written a few days ago.
The Deputy P40 test is pretty good. The Crawler E40 is a victim of its success and is becoming difficult to find on the market, or at least no longer at the low price of 800 euros. The Deputy therefore succeeds him, and we expect the price to be revised upwards. It is not so ! It is also possible to find it around 800 euros… Without Windows.

A quick reminder of the components: the beast is powered by a 5th generation Intel Core i12 (a 12450H), 16 GB of DDR5 RAM, a 512 GB nvme, a FullHD 144 Hz screen. Among the downsides, we noted a full plastic chassis, a mediocre speaker section, and fans very present by default (you have to go through the software provided to calm them down).
It's time to take a look at the performance of the NVIDIA RTX 4060 (mobile)
First measure, consumption: when idle, this Deputy only consumes 29W at the outlet (33W for the Crawler E40). Under load, on a game using 100% of the components, we go up to 150W maximum. We therefore remain on very similar values to the Crawler E40. The RTX 4060 perfectly controls its consumption.
Here is a recap of in-game performance, again against the RTX 4050.
Game name | Average FPS Deputy P40 (RTX 4060 8GB) | Average FPS Crawler E40 (RTX 4050 6GB) |
Lords of the fallen | 81 | 63 |
Farming Simulator 22 | 155 | 104 |
Starfield | 113 | 104 |
Cyberpunk (RT) | 106 | 99 |
Red Dead Redemption 2 | 116 | 100 |
Flight Simulator | 84 | 69 |
The performance gain varies greatly from one game to another depending on the general optimization and the version of DLSS used. But with each test, there is a gain. To conclude, we still have a laptop PC with an unbeatable quality/price ratio. The Erazer Deputy P40 is not a discount PC. The components are balanced and judiciously chosen to contain the price. A purchase to consider with your eyes closed.
