APEX 16 MAX (M25) - GameStar Ulti Upgrade Edition
Inferno's Champion
Manufacturer Information
A powerful gaming package combining AMD and NVIDIA performance: high-end processors with 16 cores and a lightning-fast GeForce RTX 5070 Ti make the well-equipped XMG APEX 16 MAX a compelling choice for performance-minded users.
At the same time, the laptop impresses with numerous premium features. These include high-quality displays with a 300 Hz refresh rate and full coverage of the extended DCI-P3 colour space – with an optional Mini LED variant offering over 1000 nits – and a wide range of cleverly placed ports. Additional high-end features include up to 96 GB of upgradeable RAM and 16 TB of SSD storage, a 99.8 Wh battery, a highly functional keyboard with per-key RGB and a first-class typing experience, and the XMG Control Center for individual system tuning.
With the powerful AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX (Fire Range) or the fast Ryzen 9 8945HX (Dragon Range Refresh) at an attractive price, the XMG APEX 16 MAX delivers uncompromising CPU performance. Both high-end processors feature 16 full cores and 32 threads and belong to the HX series – laptop CPUs designed on the same architecture as AMD’s most powerful desktop processors.
NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is the price-performance champion among high-end laptop graphics cards, offering an impressive entry into the upper segment. This high-performance GPU is the perfect partner for the XMG APEX 16 MAX’s 1600p display and ensures high frame rates even for couch gaming on large, high-resolution TVs. With 12 GB of GDDR7 memory, DLSS 4, and innovative AI features including fifth-generation tensor units, it provides a solid foundation for fast, smooth gaming at high settings and accelerates workflows in content-creation software with AI-powered performance boosts.
With up to two M.2 SSDs, you’ll have plenty of room for all your games. The primary drive is already connected via PCI Express 5.0 x4 for unrivalled performance: ideal for ultra-fast load times in games that support Microsoft Direct Storage. You can also configure the XMG APEX 16 MAX with up to 5600MT/s fast DDR5 SO-DIMM memory, which can be upgraded or expanded at a later date – just like the SSDs.
in 16:10 Format
Both the Mini LED and IPS panels offer everything you need for demanding image, photo, and video editing. Both displays cover 100 % of the sRGB and the extended DCI-P3 colour spaces. The practical 16:10 aspect ratio provides extra vertical screen space for toolbars and other elements, while the 180-degree hinge lets you open the laptop fully for presentations.
300 Hz Gaming
The XMG APEX 16 MAX’s high-resolution 16-inch displays not only present your games in razor-sharp detail, but also feature a high brightness: Choose from a 500 nits IPS panel or upgrade to a Mini LED display with more than 1000 nits that meets HDR1000 specifications. With a fast 300 Hz refresh rate, both options guarantee ultra-smooth visuals, making them ideal for high-FPS gaming.
The XMG APEX 16 MAX not only offers an extensive range of external ports but also distributes them cleverly. Located on the rear are HDMI 2.1, Mini DisplayPort 2.1, the power socket, and a USB-C port, which also supports optional charging via a USB-C travel power adapter with up to 140 watts. Additional ports on the sides include three USB-A ports, a second USB-C port, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, a high-speed SD Express compatible card reader, and a 2-in-1 audio jack for headsets. The Full HD webcam features a physical privacy shutter and an infrared sensor for seamless Windows Hello sign-in.
Enhance your creative workflow with a multi-monitor setup or enjoy smooth gaming and streaming at the same time. The XMG APEX 16 MAX features Mini DisplayPort 2.1 (DP80), HDMI 2.1, and two USB-C ports with DisplayPort functionality. This allows you to natively connect up to four additional external monitors simultaneously, with full support for the latest high-resolution displays, including 8K.
The full-size, backlit keyboard offers all the comfort and functionality you need. Gamers will appreciate the per-key RGB lighting, anti-ghosting, and N-key rollover, while creatives benefit from a full four-row numeric keypad, full-size offset arrow keys, concave keycaps, and a quick-access Fn lock via the ‘Fn’ + ‘ESC’ key combination. Enhanced key mechanism stability ensures a precise and satisfying typing experience, with maximum control and accuracy.
The powerful XMG Control Center gives you complete control over your laptop’s performance settings – from pre-defined, customised profiles that allow you to select the ideal balance of performance, noise and temperatures at the touch of a button, to the creation of custom profiles and manual tuning options. This allows you to get the best out of your laptop’s high-end components.
