XMG Fusion 15 (Early 24) with top ranking among the RTX 4070 laptops

The lightweight (ca. 2.1 kg), compact XMG Fusion 15 (Early 24) is based on a barebone (GM5IX7A) from Tongfang. The device can be individually configured via Schenker's online shop and can be had from around US$1,700 (with an RTX 4060). The present variant costs about US$2,500.

A combination of a Core i9-14900HX (Raptor Lake), GeForce RTX 4070 and 32 GB RAM (DDR5-5600, dual-channel mode) equip the laptop for all demanding fields of use—such as video editing, rendering and gaming. A fast PCIe-4 SSD provides the necessary storage capacity (1 TB) and ensures that loading times are kept short. Should you run out of storage, then you can always add more: The laptop features space for a second M.2-2280-format SSD. RAID-0/1 is supported.

The hardware allows for all current games to be played smoothly. In doing so, you can usually make use of the screen's full resolution (2,560 x 1,600 pixels) and high to maximum settings. Higher resolutions could be achieved with a corresponding display connected—the laptop can power up to two additional screens (1x HDMI, 1x DisplayPort via USB-C).

Despite its powerful hardware, the laptop isn't missing any stamina: Its 99.8-Wh battery allows for practical runtimes of 8 to 10 hours. Positive: The battery can also be charged via a universal USB-C power supply (100 watts, 20 V)—its USB-C port (Thunderbolt 4) supports Power Delivery (and can output a DisplayPort signal).
