Which XMG laptop has the highest GPU performance?

The highest GPU performance is provided in XMG NEO 16 and SCHENKER KEY 18 Pro, both of which were introduced at CES 2025, now available with RTX 5080 and RTX 5090.

SCHENKER KEY 18 Pro offers additional I/O ports, including two Thunderbolt 5 ports, whereas the XMG NEO 16 with Intel only has a single Thunderbolt 4 port.

A unique feature of the KEY 18 Pro is its ability to support up to four SSDs and up to 256 GB of DDR5 memory across four modules. However, this memory runs at a lower clock speed compared to the XMG NEO, which gives the NEO an edge in gaming, while KEY 18 Pro is more tailored for workstation use.

Starting with the E25 generation, XMG NEO 16 is optionally available with a Mini-LED display, while KEY 18 Pro offers an option for a 4K/UHD display. Both options provide 100% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage.
