XMG NEO 16

THE ONE

Probably the fastest laptop in the world: The XMG NEO 16 is the perfect embodiment of a compact, modern laptop for gamers and creators – with outstanding features and the most powerful components.

The 2026 version of XMG’s flagship model takes uncompromising high-end performance to the next level, combining a sleek, elegant aluminium chassis with several major upgrades. Alongside graphics options up to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, it features the powerful Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus – Intel’s most advanced laptop processor to date, based on desktop-class architecture. And thanks to its new display options, the NEO 16 remains the undisputed reference in the premium segment. Choose between an impressively vibrant OLED display and an anti-glare IPS display, exclusively combinable with the RTX 5070 Ti. A Mini-LED display with G-SYNC will follow at a later date. The NEO 16 also continues to support the XMG OASIS external water-cooling system, enabling even higher sustained performance and lower temperatures.
