XMG has unveiled the Neo 17 (M22) and Neo 15 (M22) high-performance gaming laptops. The new products are equipped with AMD Ryzen 6000 series processors, GeForce RTX 3000 graphics accelerators, and offer external liquid cooling systems as an option.

Both models are based on the eight-core Ryzen 9 6900HX processor with a frequency of up to 4.9 GHz. The older 17-inch XMG Neo 17 comes equipped with a 330W power supply to get the most out of the processor, as well as the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics card, which is offered here as one of the available options. The accelerator is equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and has a declared total TDP of 175 watts. The laptop’s stock air-cooling system includes a pair of 11mm fans, five heat pipes, and several heatsinks.
Optionally for laptops, an external Oasis liquid cooling system is offered, which allows you to reduce the temperature of the GPU by 15 degrees more efficiently than regular air CO. The Oasis contains a 120mm radiator with a fan, a coolant reservoir, and a pump.
On the front side of the LSS, two pipes are displayed, through which Oasis is connected to the corresponding fittings in the back of the laptop.
They are connected to an annular tube inside the laptop that has direct contact with the heat pipes of the laptop’s air cooling system.

New products from XMG are ready to offer up to 64 GB of DDR5-4800 RAM and the ability to install two M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs.
For the older 17-inch Neo 17 model, there is a choice between GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, RTX 3080 and RTX 3080 Ti graphics cards. This model received a 17-inch display with an aspect ratio of 16:10 and a refresh rate of 240 Hz. The screen supports a resolution of 2560 × 1600 pixels, has a peak brightness of 380 cd/m2 and 99 percent sRGB color gamut.
For the younger 15-inch Neo 15 (M22) model, the GeForce RTX 3060 accelerator is available. However, if you wish, you can choose a configuration with the flagship mobile GeForce RTX 3080 Ti. The laptop received an IPS display with WQXGA resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio and a refresh rate of 240 Hz.
XMG Neo 17 (M22) and Neo 15 (M22) laptops feature mechanical keyboards with Cherry MX switches, 50M keystrokes, and RGB backlighting. The manufacturer notes that both laptops are fully compatible with VR headsets, since the equipment of the new products, among other connectors, includes one USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 2 with DisplayPort 1.4 alternative mode, which are directly connected to a discrete graphics card. The company recalls that the XMG Neo 15 (E22) laptop model, released earlier this year, did not have such an opportunity, since the integrated graphics of the 12th generation Intel Core processor were responsible for the Thunderbolt 4 connector with DisplayPort.
The manufacturer estimated the base configuration of the 15-inch Neo 15 (M22) with GeForce RTX 3060 at 2099 euros ($2156). The price for the 17-inch model with GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and 16 GB of RAM starts at 2949 euros ($3029). The manufacturer offers an external liquid cooling system Oasis for 199 euros ($205). Both laptop models are already available for pre-orders. Their deliveries will begin in September.
