Size: 361 x 258 x 32.5 mm (W x D x H) Battery: 62Whr. That explains why, despite weighing less than 2.7kg, far less than most of its predecessors, its thickness - 33mm - is still surprisingly significant.The fans and heatsinks did a great job at keeping the device cool; the bottom of the device and the rear exhausts never felt too warm even under load, which makes the extra fan noise seem like an acceptable compromise.One thing you immediately notice when using the Apex 15 is how loud it can be even when idling; it exceeded 60dB when under load during our benchmarks. The matte display has a high 90% sRGB colour space coverage, is bright with good contrast and a refresh rate of 144Hz, which translates into a far smoother Windows experience.Test numbers are the best we managed ever, on almost all benchmarks, bar the battery life where it only achieved 58 minutes (in performance mode, without any power saving features on). Unlike the XMG Ultra 15, which is rather large and heavy due to its height of 3.8 cm and a weight of 3.5 kg, the Apex 15 - which, by the way, features a slim bezel design - is fairly compact. We dare even say that it is a (relative) bargain, one made even better by the fact that you can order the laptop without Windows, saving you a few more Euros.Thank you for signing up to TechRadar. This is not a surprise given the nature of the beast; the 3950X is a desktop CPU after all.Instead it focuses on getting the basics right; almost every component in it can be replaced (battery, CPU, memory, storage, comms) and there’s plenty of cooling and ventilation to keep its hardware cold. Due to their CUDA architecture as well as dedicated RT and tensor cores, the RTX GPUs accelerate computing processes in the fields of raytracing and artificial intelligence. Note that this is a gaming laptop at its heart but we reviewed it as a mobile workstation, a role where it excels.Having a bigger chassis comes with its advantages especially for the target audience, professionals and power users. Weight: 2.6kg. In addition to the torsion-resistant base unit, the display lid is made of metal, providing additional stability over a lesser plastic counterpart.Backlit keyboard with numeric keypad, 15 colour options15.6″ Full HD IPS | 144 Hz | non-glareDue to the high 85 percent ratio of the display area, the thin bezel supports the display panel with a modern and minimalistic aesthetic.But the display also offers all the features that are important for demanding users: first-class black values and high contrast help to maintain the best possible overview, even in dark gaming scenes.Laptop (incl.

England and Wales company registration number 2008885.Here are the full specs of the XMG Apex 15 configuration sent to TechRadar Pro for review:Here’s how the XMG Apex 15 performed in our suite of benchmark tests:The XMG Apex 15 is built like a vintage supercar: very (very) noisy and not very economical petrol-wise but OMG, pedal to the floor, it can reach speeds that, only a decade ago would have landed it somewhere on the TOP500 list of supercomputers. In addition to an RTX 2070, an RTX 2060 can also be selected, in each case in the latest revision.AMD’s most powerful Ryzen processors were previously found only in desktop PCs. The XMG APEX 15 utilises the unique performance of AMD's Ryzen series desktop processors - thus a socketed instead of the usually soldered models found in similar laptops. In the top specced version, the Ryzen 9 3950X is a brutish 16-core CPU with multithreading support, that operates in … The chassis design also does justice to the performance-oriented mobility concept: with a weight of only 2.1 kg and a 23 mm slim chassis, the laptop interprets its high-performance approach in an excitingly compact way.
