XMG:
AMD’s most powerful Ryzen processors were previously found only in desktop PCs. Now, for the first time, the XMG APEX 15 has integrated these lightning fast CPUs into the portable format of a 15.6-inch laptop. With the 16-core Ryzen 9 3950X model, the top configuration utilizes the current performance king in this class, delivering permanently high performance thanks to the first-class notebook cooling. This also compliments NVIDIA’s fast RTX 2070 and RTX 2060 graphics cards in their Max-P incarnation. Thanks to this unconventional, but winning combination, the XMG APEX 15 is not only aimed at demanding gamers but also opens the door to a new performance dimension for professional users.
The basic version of APEX 15 with Ryzen 5 3600 costs 1337 EUR. You can configure your own APEX 15 through this website.
A configuration with Ryzen 9 3950X, RTX 2070, 32GB of 2666 MHz RAM and 1TB NVME drive cost 2631 EUR. Laptops are expected to ship in 7 to 10 weeks.
At CES 2020 Schenker confirmed a return to making AMD-based laptops.
