Schenker Technologies GmbH's e-commerce platform, bestware.com, is now offering Intel's NUC X15 Laptop Kit with Core i7-12700H and dedicated Arc A730M graphics card, in addition to the laptops of the two own brands XMG and SCHENKER. The base configuration of the 2 kg light and well-equipped 15.6-inch notebook is available at a reduced price of €899 (~$963) for a limited time at launch.

Intel NUC X15 Arc combines Core i7-12700H with Arc A730M
Measuring 358.26 x 235 x 22.2 mm and weighing just 2 kg, the 15.6-inch Intel NUC X15 Arc positions itself among the light and slim laptops in its performance class. The display lid and top shell of the black chassis are aluminium; only the bottom shell and the display frame use plastic. Despite its compactness, the NUC 15 Arc offers high performance. Intel pairs a Core i7-12700H with 14 cores (6 performance, 8 efficiency cores) and 20 threads with a dedicated graphics card from its own Arc portfolio: The Arc A730M offers a generous 12 GB of GDDR6 memory and operates at a TGP of 75 watts.




RAM and SSDs are freely configurable on bestware.com, as the laptop features plugged-in instead of soldered components: Up to 64 GB DDR5-4800 RAM or two M.2 SSDs, with the primary drive connected via PCI Express 4.0, all options are available to configure the Intel NUC X15 Arc as desired.



144 Hz fast Full HD IPS panel and good connectivity
The 15.6-inch matte Full HD display (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) features a refresh rate of 144 Hz, 90% sRGB colour space coverage and a brightness of 300 nits. Three USB-A ports (3.2 Gen 1), a headset-compatible headphone output, HDMI 2.0, and a Thunderbolt 4 port with an integrated DisplayPort stream, provide good connectivity. Therefore, in addition to the internal display, up to two additional external monitors can be connected natively - the image output is always through the efficient iGPU, however demanding processing is still executed via the faster dGPU. The network connection is wireless via Wi-Fi 6 or wired via a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port.

Besides a 62 Wh battery with selectable charging profiles to maximize battery longevity, the Intel NUC X15 Arc features a Windows Hello-compatible webcam, a Microsoft Precision-compliant glass touchpad and a keyboard with customizable single-zone RGB lighting.

Pricing and availability
The base configuration of the Intel NUC X15 Arc, which can be freely configured at bestware.com and is available with immediate effect, includes Intel's Core i7-12700H, an Intel Arc A730M, 16 (2×8) GB DDR5-4800-RAM, a 500 GB Samsung 980 SSD and a Full HD IPS display with 144 Hz. The introductory discounted starting price is €899 including 19% VAT until September 30th. From October 1st, the standard price of €999 (~$1070) will come into effect.

I’m envious! I’d love to get my hands on that chip. Do you could run the hardware scan for me and send me the results?

Yes, I can run hardware scan then send the results to you.

I'll do that once I get hands on with it, hopefully in two weeks' time.

Which hardware scans do you need?

Nice!! Just the scan HW button should do. You can save the output to a log from the file menu.
Using which tool? or DxDiag should do?

I've seen it let me scan

The flash tool attached to that OP. No need to flash anything. Just want the scan hardware log

Have you installed new drivers yet? If and when you do could you run it again for me? Thanks otherwise! So far looks like Intels IGSC can’t properly speak to the 730 though I have had some success with the 770m

Installing 31.0.101.4826 then I'll attach log file.

Is there any way I can help you with Intel IGSC for it to be able to speak to Intel ARC A730M?

Thats concerning. while the 770m works fine with IGSC the 730m appears not too. This is an issue because firmware updates are delivered via driver update which uses the version of IGSC I am compiling. Hopefully Intel fixes it, unless there are drivers missing in your devices list which I doubt. Thanks I will keep an eye on this!

I've seen the firmware update for the Intel ARC A770 LE that I have in my desktop, as far as I am aware there is no driver missing Windows 11 is up to date with the feature level that is for the upcoming 23H2.

Also, maybe you would want to remote access it and tinker with it?

I have attached another HW scan, for some reason this HW scan run just fine with no errors, but this was after I had run a game.

I can confirm anytime I run a game then after I close the game, I run HW scan there will be no errors it will scan just fine, I guess IGSC does not trigger dGPU A730 to wake properly! if that makes any sense.

Nice good to know! Maybe the cpu has integrated graphics and it’s doing some kind of context switching thanks for the update!
