XMG APEX 16

INFERNO'S CHAMPION

A strong gaming package combining AMD and NVIDIA power: high-end processors with 16 cores and a fast GeForce RTX 5070 with a generous 12 GB of VRAM make the well-equipped XMG APEX 16 a great price-to-performance choice for ambitious gamers.

At the same time, the laptop impresses with numerous premium features. These include a high-quality display with a 300 Hz refresh rate and full coverage of the extended DCI-P3 colour space, as well as a wide range of cleverly placed ports. Additional high-end features include up to 96 GB of upgradeable RAM and 16 TB of SSD storage, a 99.8 Wh battery, a full-size keyboard with per-key RGB and a first-class typing experience, and the XMG Control Center for individual system tuning.

AMD Ryzen HX Processors

Maximum Performance with 16 Cores

Desktop DNA Inside

With the powerful AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX (Fire Range) or the fast Ryzen 9 8945HX (Dragon Range Refresh) at an attractive price, the XMG APEX 16 delivers uncompromising CPU performance. Both high-end processors feature 16 full cores and 32 threads and belong to the HX series – laptop CPUs designed on the same architecture as AMD’s most powerful desktop processors.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 12 GB

Strong 3D Performance

Future-Proof with 12 GB VRAM

In the XMG APEX 16, NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5070 comes in the refreshed version with a generous 12 GB instead of just 8 GB of graphics memory, offering a strong foundation for immersive AAA gaming. Thanks to its 50 percent larger memory, this high-performance laptop GPU delivers stable FPS at high settings on the 1600p display – helped along by modern features such as the latest DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) with Multi Frame Generation. With 4608 CUDA cores and AI capabilities powered by fifth-generation tensor units, it also significantly speeds up professional content-creation software.

Up to 96 GB RAM and 16 TB SSD Storage

Uncompromising Memory Options

Upgradeable at Any Time

With up to two M.2 SSDs, you’ll have plenty of room for all your games. The primary drive is already connected via PCI Express 5.0 x4 for groundbreaking performance: ideal for ultra-fast load times in games that support Microsoft Direct Storage. You can also equip the XMG APEX 16 with fast, socketed DDR5 memory, which can be upgraded at a later date – just like the SSDs.

1600p Display with 500 Nits

Crisp and Bright

Lightning-Fast 300 Hz Gaming

The XMG APEX 16’s high-resolution 16-inch display not only presents your games in razor-sharp detail but also impresses with a generous 500 nits. This keeps it easy to read even in well-lit environments. The fast 300 Hz refresh rate ensures extremely smooth visuals for high-FPS gaming.

100 % sRGB and DCI-P3

With 100 percent coverage of the sRGB and DCI-P3 colour spaces, the anti-glare IPS panel also excels in professional use. Alongside the practical 16:10 aspect ratio, which provides extra screen space for toolbars and other elements, the 180-degree hinge makes presentations easy with the laptop fully opened.

Top Connectivity with Rear Ports

All the Connections You Need

Goodbye Dongle Life

The XMG APEX 16 not only offers an extensive range of external ports but also distributes them cleverly. Located on the rear are HDMI 2.1, Mini DisplayPort 2.1, the power socket, and a USB-C port, which also supports optional charging via a USB-C travel power adapter with up to 140 watts. Additional ports on the sides include three USB-A ports, a second USB-C port, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, a high-speed SD Express compatible card reader, and a 2-in-1 audio jack for headsets. The Full HD webcam features a physical privacy shutter and an infrared sensor for seamless Windows Hello sign-in.

Four Native Display Connectors

Perfect for Multi-Monitor Setups

Enhance your creative workflow with a multi-monitor setup, or enjoy smooth gaming and streaming at the same time. Thanks to Mini DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1, and two USB-C ports with integrated DisplayPort functionality, you can natively connect up to four additional external monitors.

Thanks to the improved stability of the key mechanism, the keyboard guarantees an outstanding typing experience and maximum precision.

XMG Control Center and BIOS Tuning

All Settings at Your Fingertips

Fine Tuning for Advanced Users

The powerful XMG Control Center gives you complete control over your laptop’s performance settings – from pre-defined, customised profiles that let you select the ideal balance of performance, noise, and temperature at the touch of a button, to creating custom profiles and manual tuning options. This lets you push your laptop’s high-end components to the max and take the power limits right to the edge.
