XMG FOCUS 17

THE ESSENCE OF GAMING

The XMG FOCUS 17 moves up into the higher performance class with numerous upgrades: More powerful NVIDIA graphics cards, a high-end CPU from Intel and a WQHD display with 240 Hz make for a strong all-round package.

In addition to a Core i9-13900HX with 24 cores, graphics cards up to GeForce RTX 4070 await you, so the robust, restrained yet stylish 17.3-inch laptop delivers plenty of power and won’t run out of breath even in graphically demanding AAA games in high resolution. In addition to an improved cooling system, you can expect a larger 73 Wh battery and a well-tuned keyboard with a clearly defined pressure point, practical number pad, large arrow keys and a free choice of different LED lighting colours.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40

Maximum performance with DLSS 3

NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 40 graphics cards ignite an explosion of innovation, delivering significantly more FPS in your games across all performance classes. The top configuration variant of the XMG FOCUS 17 uses the very powerful RTX 4070, although an RTX 4060 or RTX 4050 already provide a lot of performance – in each case in the maximum configuration with 140 watts of graphics power. You can fire up the turbo with DLSS 3 as an exclusive feature of the RTX 40 series: The AI technology generates additional, high-quality frames so that your gaming experience remains exceptionally smooth even at high resolutions and with activated ray tracing effects.

MUX-Switch &

Advanced Optimus

Advanced Optimus switches the connection of the laptop display between the powerful NVIDIA graphics chip and the efficient, integrated GPU of the processor completely automatic and during operation. When gaming, you benefit from the direct connection to the dGPU through higher performance and minimised input lag. Switching to the iGPU, on the other hand, allows for more efficient operation and thus longer battery runtimes. In addition to automatic switching via Advanced Optimus, you can also adjust the connection manually via a MUX switch.

Intel Core i9-13900HX

CPU power with 24 cores

Equipped with Intel’s Core i9-13900HX, the XMG FOCUS 17 offers you outstanding CPU performance. With 24 cores, 32 threads, a whopping 36 MB cache and a boost clock of up to 5.4 GHz, the processor delivers impressive single and multi-core performance. The high-end CPU from the HX series stands out more clearly than ever before from the conventional H series with only up to 14 cores, being much more than just a refresh to the latest generation.

Fast, high resolution, true colour

For gamers & creatives

With a razor-sharp WQHD resolution (2,560 x 1,440 pixels), high refresh rate of 240 Hz and G-SYNC support, the IPS panel of the XMG FOCUS 17 is the ideal gaming display. But it is also in top form for all creative tasks: 99% coverage of the sRGB and extended DCI-P3 colour space guarantees excellent colour accuracy. A high-contrast display, excellent viewing angles and vivid, brilliant colours round off the display properties.

All ports on board

Ultra-flexible and equipped with the latest technology: With two USB-A and two USB-C ports, Mini DisplayPort and HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6E as well as a microSD card reader, the XMG FOCUS 17 is well equipped in terms of connections. Since one of the two USB-C ports provides Thunderbolt 4, you can connect up to three external monitors natively. In addition, the laptop not only has a high-resolution Full HD webcam, but also separate audio ports for headphones (compatible with combination plug headsets) and microphone. The Mini DisplayPort and HDMI are directly connected to the powerful NVIDIA graphics card, making the FOCUS 17 VR Ready.

WI-FI 6E

Wi-Fi 6E puts you in the wireless fast lane! Unlike older standards, your wireless network communication no longer runs exclusively in the congested 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. Thanks to additional 6 GHz technology, you can take advantage of a significantly higher data throughput, a more stable wireless connection and reduced latency.

THUNDERBOLT 4

Thunderbolt 4 is much more than a high-speed interface for data exchange with the fastest external SSDs. With its integrated DisplayPort stream coupled to the efficient iGPU, the slot allows you to output images to two 4K-capable external monitors or even connect the most powerful, multifunctional docking stations: This way, you can connect your laptop to your desk or your work environment in a flash and with just one cable – including multi-monitor setups, network connection, printer, mouse and keyboard.

Up to 2 SSDs & 64 GB RAM

Generous memory

Thanks to its flexible memory options, the XMG FOCUS 17 can be perfectly tailored to your personal requirements. The laptop has two SO-DIMM slots for a maximum of 64 GB DDR5 memory. It also offers space for two NVMe SSDs with lightning-fast PCI Express 4.0 connection. Subsequent upgrading of the storage components is easilly possible, because the inside of the chassis is easily accessible.

Optimal headphone sound

Powerful soundscapes

To give you the best possible sound on your headphones and the most immersive gaming experience possible, the XMG FOCUS 17 uses Creative Sound Blaster technology to customise sound. With the Sound Blaster Studio app, you can access optimised sound profiles for gaming, movies or music, adjust the sound separately for speakers and headset to your individual taste, and get features to enhance voice transmissions.
