XMG Pro 16 Studio (Mid 24) review: Core i9 and RTX 4070 for gamers and creators
Sascha Mölck, 👁 Florian Glaser (translated by Daisy Dickson) Published 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 ...
The XMG Pro 16 Studio (Mid 24) is aimed at gamers and creators. The corresponding hardware is on board: A Core i9-14900HX, GeForce RTX 4070 as well as a calibrated (X-Rite) 16-inch display with an aspect ratio of 16:10. A barebone (PE60SNE-S) from the manufacturer Clevo serves as a base for this. This is the successor to the XMG Pro 16 (Mid 23) which—visually—looks the same. Competitors include the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX9, Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 (2024), Lenovo Legion 7 16 G9 and the Aorus 16X (2024).

Case & connectivity - Schenker uses a barebone from Clevo
From the outside, nothing has changed: The latest Pro 16 uses the same matte black aluminum case as last year's model—if you just regard its outer case. The base unit and lid can be twisted slightly, but their build quality is good. You will search in vain for LED strips on such a serious-looking case. The lid's maximum opening angle is 130 degrees.
Two USB-A ports (USB 3.2 Gen 1), two USB-C ports (1x USB 3.2 Gen 2, 1x TB 4/USB 4) as well as three video outputs should be sufficient for most users—worst-case scenario, you might have to reach for a docking station. Power Delivery is supported thanks to the TB4 port. The Gigabit Ethernet port allows data rates of up to 2.5 Gbit/s.
Under optimum conditions (no WiFi devices in close vicinity, short distance between laptop and server PC), Intel's WiFi-6E chip (AX211) produces good to very good data rates. The FHD webcam (2.1 MP, no cover) doesn't take any surprising shots. The MicroSD card reader (reference card: AV PRO microSD 128 GB V60) is of average speed.

Sustainability
The laptop and accessories are protected by all sorts of plastic sleeves (foam carrier, film, bag). The names of the plastics used are printed on them. Exception: The transparent film cover on the lid lacks the corresponding information. The device's hardware can be accessed after removing the base plate—so you can carry out maintenance and repair work. Software updates should be secured for the next few years.
Input devices - The XMG laptop with an exchangeable keyboard
Often the rule with Schenker, and an exception when it comes to other manufacturers: The backlit (RGB, four-level) chiclet keyboard could be easily replaced, as it is only held in place by two screws (and a few clips). Its flat, smooth keys have a medium travel and a clear pressure point. Their resistance could be crisper—but this is a matter of taste. A slight yielding of the keyboard shouldn't get in your way during everyday use. Positive: The four arrow keys are full-sized. A generously sized multi-touch clickpad (15.1 x 9.1 cm) is used to control the mouse pointer.
Display - 16:10, IPS, sRGB
The 16-inch display (2,560 x 1,600 pixels) with a 16:10 aspect ratio is familiar: The laptop makes use of the same IPS panel from BOE that was already used inside the 2023 version of the Pro 16. However, it benefits from a slightly higher maximum brightness. All-in-all, the screen's values which we measured are sufficient for indoor use. Reading outdoors should be possible as long as the sun isn't too bright. Positive: The responsive 240 Hz panel shows no PWM flickering. Alternative display options are not available.

* ... smaller is better
The installed panel's color space coverage is disappointing. Only the sRGB space can be reproduced—not the AdobeRGB and DCI-P3 spaces. However, this is no different from the displays of most competitors. Nevertheless, the screen of a laptop that is marketed as a "professional workstation for content creation" should really offer the full range. Its color reproduction looks better: A slight deviation of 2.26 (target: DeltaE < 3) could be reduced to 1.03 by performing a calibration.

Performance - Raptor Lake Refresh replaces Raptor Lake
The XMG Pro 16 Studio (Mid 24), described by Schenker as a "content creation laptop", is aimed at gamers and creators. All models feature a Core i9-14900HX and the available GPU selection includes an RTX 4060 and an RTX 4070—our test device is fitted with an RTX 4070. This variant is available for around US$2,500. Prices start at around US$1,800.
Testing conditions
There is a choice of three manufacturer-specific performance modes (see table), which can be switched between using the Control Center software (the laptop's control center). We used the modes performance (benchmarks) and silent (battery tests). Optimus was active.
| Performance mode | Entertainment mode | Silent mode (dGPU off) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power Limit 1 (HWInfo) | 135 watts | 55 watts | 25 watts |
| Power Limit 2 (HWInfo) | 150 watts | 135 watts | 35 watts |
| Noise (CP 2077 Phantom) | 53 dB (A) | 49 dB (A) | - |
| Performance (CP 2077 Phantom) | 78 fps | 73 fps | - |
Problems with entertainment mode
The "entertainment" profile caused significant fluctuations in performance during our test. As a result, we refrained from using it. During the course of the test, Schenker was able to state a way around the problem: Activating the "silent mode" fan option within the Control Center. A future BIOS update should hopefully fix this error.
Processor
The Core i9-14900HX (Raptor Lake) is used for all Pro 16 configuration variants. Its 24 cores (8P + 16E) can process a total of 32 threads. A surprise: Even when performance mode is active, the processor can't work at full power all the time. Continuous multi-thread load (CB15 Loop) caused the CPU clock to drop significantly from the first to the fifth run. After that, the curve flattened out. Its benchmark results are below the previous CPU average.

System performance
The smooth-running system provides enough performance for gaming, rendering and streaming, but the installed hardware isn't able to set any new records. The RAM's transfer rates are on a normal level for DDR5-5600 RAM.
