Verdict - The XMG Neo 16 delivers good performance, but has gaps in its connectivity
Traditionally, the Neo 16 is one of the fastest gaming laptops on the market, with the current E25 model being no exception to this. Its Core Ultra 9 275HX and GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop both offer enormous performance that remains stable. Adding to this is a fast PCIe 5.0 SSD, plus, the laptop can run every single modern game smoothly in its native resolution. We are already excited for the AMD variant with the Ryzen 9 9955HX3D, as XMG is one of the few manufacturers to also offer its high-end gamer with an AMD chip, and as a result, its gaming performance should be a little better once more.
Its matte mini LED panel is a significant upgrade and delivers outstanding picture quality. Its high brightness in particular is ideal for HDR content; thanks to its frequency of 300 Hz, movements look buttery smooth. Its brightness of more than 800 nits in SDR mode and over 1,500 nits in HDR mode is superior to any OLED panel. Local dimming can be deactivated and it fully supports the P3 color space, but the device's P3 color profiles aren't the most accurate.
The panel's local dimming additionally has a positive effect on the device's power consumption, which is especially low when displaying darker content. Its runtimes are similarly impressive for such a powerful laptop. It features enough ports, good speakers, nice input devices and handy maintenance options—all inside a super stable metal case.
That being said, you'll still have to make do without several connectivity options such as Thunderbolt 5 or Wi-Fi 7, despite its high price. You'll likely be able to stomach this, however, its lack of Advanced Optimus as well as G-Sync on the internal display is a big minus point for a high-end laptop in 2025. XMG is currently working together with Nvidia to find a solution and has passed on extensive information to its customers, however, there is no guarantee that the feature will follow.
The device's optional external water cooling works very well and primarily helps to reduce its fan volume as well as the temperatures of its case and components. The CPU's performance is slightly better, especially under combined load, from which some games will also benefit a little. Even so, its pure GPU performance hasn't changed, as the Neo 16 reaches its maximum of 175 watts even without the Oasis.
Pros
Cons
Price and availability
The base version of the new XMG Neo 16 E25 retails for approximately $3,000, but currently isn't available to order in the United States.

We were able to get a first impression of the new XMG Neo 16 in a preview a few weeks ago. Its performance already proved to be excellent, but we couldn't yet take precise measurements with its new mini LED panel. Now we have a retail unit of the new Neo 16 E25 in our editorial office and were able to test it extensively—with the RTX 5090 Laptop, Core Ultra 9 275HX and new mini LED panel. We were also able to take a look at the new version of the external Oasis water cooling system. Our test device with the aforementioned components costs around $5,000.
Specifications
Case & connectivity
The general design of the Neo 16 remains very similar this year, but its metal case has been changed in some parts. For example, there are no longer any side air outlets and the distribution of its connections has been slightly revised. Its build quality and stability are still very good, but its surfaces are unfortunately still quite susceptible to dirt marks. The laptop's new mini LED panel has increased its weight by around 150 grams and at 2.85 kilograms, the Neo 16 is one of the heaviest devices in our comparison group. It features another LED strip on the front.
Although you'll have to do without the latest Thunderbolt 5 standard, its connectivity still includes Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1 and enough USB ports. The fully-fledged card reader on the right-hand side of its case is super fast, and the transfer rates of its Wi-Fi module are also good and stable—even if it doesn't yet support Wi-Fi 7. The device's 1080p webcam (including a mechanical shutter & IR module) fulfills its purpose, but it doesn't support Studio Effects. It isn't a Copilot+ laptop, but live subtitles are available.

Accessories - XMG Oasis (Mk2-V4)
We generally already know the new Oasis version (Mk2-V4) from previous years, but some slight improvements have been made to it, including its dual-zone lighting and new connection cable for the current Neo 16, as the connection on the laptop itself now snaps into place. The setup is very easy and there is only one power cable in addition to the water hose, while the original power supply is simply plugged into the Oasis. Communication between the Oasis unit and the laptop takes place via Bluetooth and the Command Center offers extensive setting options. In a bundle with the Neo 16, the Oasis costs around $220 (approx. $240 individually).
Maintenance
The lower case cover is secured with 10 Phillips screws and can be removed easily. The device's internal structure has been completely revised and the mainboard now consists of two parts (CPU/GPU split), plus, three fans are now used instead of two. The SSDs are located under screw-fastened covers, while the RAM slot cover is plugged in and very tight, which makes maintenance work somewhat more difficult. The WLAN module can also be replaced and the battery is screwed in place.
Sustainability
XMG hasn't provided any information on the device's CO2 footprint or its use of recycled materials. The laptop's packaging consists almost entirely of cardboard.
Warranty
Its standard warranty runs for 24 months (Pickup & Return) and includes a quick repair for the first 6 months. This can be extended to up to 3 years with different terms for fast repair.
Input devices - Comfortable keyboard
The laptop's input devices have remained almost unchanged. Users continue to get a very comfortable keyboard (including a numeric keypad) with rich feedback and precise keystrokes, although the keys now feel slightly firmer. Its layout is clear and its backlighting (4 intensity levels) can be adjusted individually for each key. The ClickPad (12.3 x 7.8 cm) is nice and smooth and doesn't rattle, although the mechanical clicks in the lower area sound a little loud.
Display - Extremely bright mini LED panel
In addition to the familiar IPS display, the XMG can now optionally be had with a mini LED panel with a frequency of 300 Hz. Its resolution is still 2,560 x 1,600 pixels, but there is currently no G-Sync support for the internal display. Please refer to the official XMG website for more information (G-Sync is supported for external displays). Subjectively, the matte panel's picture quality is great and even bright surfaces don't look grainy, plus, you can deactivate the local dimming if required. Although we noted constant flickering, its frequency of more than 20 kHz is extremely high. This flickering also made it difficult to determine the screen's exact response times, which, according to the manufacturer, are on par with the predecessor model, and are therefore very fast.
The new panel's brightness is particularly impressive, as our test device clearly exceeded the manufacturer's specification (750/1000 nits) during our test, managing an average of ~860 cd/m² in SDR mode and more than 1,700 cd/m² in HDR mode (full screen). When local dimming is active, its black level is 0, resulting in an enormous contrast ratio.

* ... smaller is better
The panel fully covers the sRGB and P3 color spaces, but the two supplied P3 profiles aren't the best and have relatively high deviations in grayscale and colors. Only with our own calibration (profile is available to download for free above) could we make use of the screen's full potential, then only 100% blue still fell short of the target value of 3.

Performance - Arrow Lake-HX up to 128 GB RAM
The Neo 16 is available with either the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX or the two AMD chips Ryzen 9 9955HX/9955HX3D and can be combined with up to 128 GB RAM (AMD: 96 GB). The RTX 5070 Ti/5080/5090 Laptop cards are available as GPUs.
Testing conditions
XMG offers various energy profiles and a super extensive manual mode in the laptop's Control Center. We used the overboost mode and the dedicated GPU mode for our benchmarks and measurements, since Advanced Optimus is not yet supported (see the official XMG website for more information).

Processor - Core Ultra 9 275HX
The Core Ultra 9 275HX in the Neo 16 proved to be slightly faster than the competition thanks to its high power limit, and its performance remained very stable during our test. However, the differences between the comparison devices weren't huge and this won't be noticeable when gaming. Furthermore, its advantage over the Core i9-14900HX in the old Neo 16 was just 4% on average during our test. With the Oasis water cooling, its performance was slightly better and more stable.

Storage device
One of the two M.2 2280 slots already supports the PCIe 5.0 connection, and our test device is equipped with a corresponding 9100 Pro SSD from Samsung. Its storage capacity is 1 TB, with 870 GB being available to the user after first starting up the device. During our test, its transfer rates reached more than 10 GB/s and remained stable even under permanent load.

GPU
Our Neo 16 test device is equipped with the GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop, which is the fastest version with a TGP of 175 watts (150 watts + 25 watts Dynamic Boost). However, at the time of writing, it doesn't yet support Advanced Optimus graphics switching, which is to do with its display. XMG has provided extensive information about this on its own website and although the validation process is currently underway, there is currently no guarantee that Advanced Optimus will be supported at a later date. For maximum GPU performance, the iGPU can be deactivated via the MUX switch, but this requires a restart.
Its performance was great during the synthetic tests, as the Neo 16 just managed to come out on top across all tests. Its advantage over the old Neo 16 with the RTX 4090 Laptop was around 12% and its performance remained stable even under constant load (Time Spy stress test: 97.8%).

Gaming performance
During our test, its gaming performance was similarly impressive, even if the Neo didn't always come out on top in this case. As with all other new RTX 5000 Laptop models, its drivers additionally play a role, and there can be noticeable differences between versions. Plus, since the launch of the RTX 5090 Laptop, there have been several updates—some of which have led to stability problems and different performance values. At least in terms of stability, we no longer had any problems with the two current versions 576.28 and 576.40.
During our standard 1080p test course, the new RTX 5090 Laptop couldn't really show off its performance yet but in QHD, its lead over the old Neo 16 with the 4090 Laptop was often 10-20%. Of course, the new RTX 5090 Laptop also supports current DLSS4 and Multi Frame Generation, although these technologies are only required in extreme cases, for example when running Cyberpunk 2077 with Raytracing Overdrive selected. In the following table, we tested its upscaling performance running Cyberpunk and Alan Wake 2. Even if its results are very high, especially using Frame Generation, the user's subjective impression may still differ depending on the game.
| Setting | Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty RT Overdrive |
Alan Wake 2 Custom (Everything High/Ultra + PT) |
|---|---|---|
| Native | 24fps | 36.1fps |
| DLSS Quality | 48.5fps | 59fps |
| DLSS Performance | 72.1fps | 78.8fps |
| DLSS Quality MFG x2 | 88.6fps | 105.1fps |
| DLSS Quality MFG x4 | 153.6fps | 182.3fps |
With the water cooler connected, its gaming performance was often identical, as it can use its full 175 watts even without the Oasis (although the RTX 5090 Laptop can't utilize the 175 watts in every game). Since the CPU has a little more headroom, there may be slight improvements in this respect.

Emissions - The Oasis helps with volume and temperatures
Noise emissions
The Neo 16 is a super quiet companion when idling and under low load, as the 26 dB(A) it emits is practically inaudible. When gaming or under very high load, however, it gets a lot louder and, depending on the mode, we measured between 45-55 dB(A), which is too loud—especially if you're playing a quiet game. You should definitely use headphones in this scenario. With the Oasis water cooling connected, the Neo 16 is quieter (43.8-50.5 dB(A)), although you can occasionally hear the pump. There were no other electronic noises on our test device.

Temperature
During everyday use, the laptop's metal case stays very cool, but its surfaces heated up considerably when gaming and during the stress test. This was particularly noticeable in the middle keyboard area. However, its temperatures never reached critical values (no measured value exceeded 48 °C). Its surface temperatures were reduced by 4-5 °C using the Oasis water cooling.
The Neo 16 performed very well in the stress test, and its performance remained stable. With the Oasis connected, the processor could consume more power and the temperature of the GPU was significantly lower.
(-) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 47.8 °C / 118 F, compared to the average of 40.5 °C / 105 F, ranging from 21.2 to 68.8 °C for the class Gaming.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 46.7 °C / 116 F, compared to the average of 43.3 °C / 110 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 27.8 °C / 82 F, compared to the device average of 33.9 °C / 93 F.
(-) 3: The average temperature for the upper side is 39.8 °C / 104 F, compared to the average of 33.9 °C / 93 F for the class Gaming.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are reaching skin temperature as a maximum (34.6 °C / 94.3 F) and are therefore not hot.
(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.9 °C / 84 F (-5.7 °C / -10.3 F).

Energy management - Long battery life
Power consumption
When idle, the Neo 16 benefits from the local dimming that's activated by default, especially in combination with a dark background image, and the maximum of 15.8 watts that we measured is really frugal. When displaying a white picture or with deactivated local dimming, on the other hand, we noted almost 30 watts. The laptop's powerful components make themselves known under load, and we measured a maximum of 415 watts during the stress test, which then leveled off at around 280 watts. With the Oasis connected, the maximum value was 480 watts, which then settled at 360 watts. In idle mode, the Oasis increased the laptop's power consumption by around 1.7 watts.
The 420-watt power supply unit supplied is sufficient in size, but it gets very warm and has a very short cable (80 cm) from the power supply unit to the laptop. In most cases, this isn't long enough to be able to set the power supply unit on the floor.

Runtimes
The Neo 16 performed similarly well during the runtime measurements, especially in the WLAN test at 150 cd/m² and 60 Hz, where it ran for a long 9.5 hours. At full brightness, however, you'll have to pay the price for the laptop's bright display, with it managing just under 4 hours. You can play videos for just over 7.5 hours.
