The 2025 EVO 15 ultrabook lineup from XMG is updated with the latest AMD Ryzen AI plus the new Krackan Point APUs, as well as Intel’s latest Core Ultra 200H processors. There are a few key differences between the AMD and Intel platforms, hence a price difference as well.
Detailed specs
For the EVO 15 (E25) models, XMG offers a broader processor selection including the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, AI 9 365, AI 7 350 and the more affordable Ryzen 7 H 255 from the Krackan Point family that does not feature an NPU. On the other hand, the EVO 15 (M25) models only offer a single Intel option in the form of the Core Ultra 7 255H CPU.
Thanks to the larger aluminium chassis over the existing EVO 14 models, and with the improved dual-fan coolers, this year’s EVO 15 models can sustain 90 W max TDP in “Overboost” mode for the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and Core Ultra 7 255H top CPU options.
The first significant difference between the AMD and Intel model is noticed on the display side. While both models come equipped with a 256 x 1600 15.3-inch IPS display capable of 500 nit max brightness and 100% sRGB color gamut, the AMD models support 300 Hz refresh rate and FreeSync, whereas the Intel ones only support 240 Hz as a limit imposed by the Adaptive Sync feature from Arc Graphics iGPUs. Both platforms also support a low-power 60 Hz refresh and the display lid comes with an FHD webcam featuring Windows Hello compatibility and a physical privacy shutter.
The second significant difference is on the RAM side. Both platforms support up to 128 GB DDR5-5600 RAM via two SO-DIMM slots, but only the Intel models additionally support CSO-DIMM modules with DDR5-6400 specs. Moreover, both platforms can be equipped with up to 16 TB of PCIe 4.0 SSD storage via two M.2 slots.
A final difference is with the port selection and wireless connectivity. For the Intel models, XMG offers a Thunderbolt 4 port with DP 2.1 (DP 80) plus and HDMI 2.0 (18 Gbps) port, while the AMD models get a USB4 with DP 2.1 (DP40) plus and HDMI 2.1 (32 Gbps). The remaining ports are the same and include a USB-C 3.2 Gen2 with DisplayPort 1.4a and 100-watt Power Delivery, three USB-A 3.2 Gen1 ports, a 2-in-1 audio jack, a full-size SD Express card reader and a GbE jack. The Intel models support up to a Wi-Fi 7 card, and the AMD ones support up to Wi-Fi 6E.
As far as portability goes, the EVO 15 models are relatively slim with a 22 mm profile and total weight is 1.75 kg including the generous 99.8 Wh battery supporting USB-C 140 W fast charging. The keyboard is full-sized edge-to-edge with normal size arrow keys and comes with multi-level white backlight.
