XMG APEX 16, PRO 16 VE Launch With RTX 5070 12GB for $2,399

XMG has expanded its gaming laptop lineup with two new 16-inch models that bring NVIDIA's latest mobile graphics to a more accessible price point. The APEX 16 and PRO 16 VE start at $2,399, offering buyers a way to enter the RTX 50-series ecosystem without the premium cost of flagship hardware. This move targets gamers who want high refresh rate displays and modern connectivity but need to keep their budget in check.

AMD and Intel options paired with 300Hz displays

The APEX 16 (M26) pairs its graphics with AMD processors, giving users a choice between the Ryzen 9 9955HX and the Ryzen 9 8945HX. The PRO 16 VE (M26) takes a different path by utilizing the Intel Core i9-14900HX processor, which delivers a 195W performance release. Both machines share the same chassis design and core specifications, allowing buyers to pick their preferred CPU architecture without sacrificing other features.
