XMG NEO 17

A generous 17.3-inch screen diagonal, compact housing dimensions and cutting-edge high-performance components define the XMG NEO 17 as the absolute gold standard when it comes to maximally immersive and at the same time unrestricted mobile high-end gaming. NVIDIA’s RTX graphics cards, a mechanical RGB keyboard and two ingenious display options ensure top marks in terms of gaming suitability: The powerful laptop impresses with both the world’s first high-resolution WQHD display with 165 Hz and a Full HD configuration with 240 Hz .

In order to provide the best possible performance in the long term, the XMG NEO 17 uses a revised cooling system whose larger fans cool both NVIDIA’s updated RTX graphics chips and Intel’s Core i7-10875H eight-core processor more efficiently and quietly. Another optimization is the use of thermally highly conductive liquid metal between the CPU and heat sink, which lowers the operating temperature by up to 9 ° C under maximum load.

The versatile connectivity includes, among other things, a Thunderbolt 3 port for fast, external storage drives, which also has two DisplayPort streams. In combination with the HDMI port, which is also available, up to three additional monitors can be connected – for a panoramic gaming experience par excellence. In addition, the laptop integrates three USB-A ports, separate inputs and outputs for microphone and headphones, Wi-Fi 6 as well as a Gigabit Ethernet port and a card reader.

An appealing gaming look gives the XMG NEO 17 an opto-mechanical keyboard with RGB individual key lighting, a variety of different lighting effects and a separate number pad. A chic LED light strip embedded in the front adds further design accents. If you prefer a particularly discreet appearance, you can also completely deactivate the lighting elements if you wish. A comfortable glass touchpad implements all inputs precisely and also contributes to the high-quality appearance of the gaming laptop.

With a weight of around 2.5 kg, the XMG NEO 17 proves to be comparatively light in terms of equipment. A robust base unit and a torsion-resistant display lid made of metal ensure excellent stability. Up to 64 GB DDR4 RAM and a maximum of two M.2 SSDs communicating via PCI Express are not only suitable for satisfying the enormous memory hunger of the latest AAA games, but also meet the high system requirements of creative professional applications that are rich in requirements.

Exceptionally fast gaming displays in WQHD and Full HD

The high-end displays of the XMG NEO 17 are ideal for fast-paced gaming. Bright IPS panels ensure rich, brilliant colors as well as excellent contrasts and black values. A very high refresh rate enables the extremely fluid display of fast game content. The streak-free playback, thanks to particularly low response times, facilitates aiming in action-packed first-person shooters, among other things, and allows faster and more precise reactions to the game.
You can choose between a high-resolution WQHD display with 165 Hz or a Full HD display with 240 Hz. Thanks to their high sRGB color space coverage, they not only cut a good figure when gaming, because their factory pre-calibration also makes them ideal for image processing projects at a professional level. The 17.3-inch WQHD model in particular has an impressive degree of image sharpness.
