A laptop with connectors for external water cooling is already something rather special. Schenker has now added an AMD Ryzen-based model to its Neo 15 line-up. So does it run cooler, quieter and more efficient than its Intel-based counterpart?

As you might know, it has taken a little longer for laptops with AMD 6000 series processors to make it to the market. Schenker has now put an AMD CPU in its XMG Neo 15. In our in-depth review, we compared the new model with the Intel-based Neo 15.

The comparison wasn't really completely fair. In the model we previously reviewed, the Intel processor was flanked by an RTX 3080 Ti, whereas the current AMD-based review unit features an RTX 3070 Ti. This means that, besides GPU performance, there are also changes in things like port selection (e.g. no Thunderbolt), thermals, battery life and so on.

We can reveal one thing in advance: the comparison isn't as unfair as we thought. The RTX 3070 Ti is only marginally slower than the top-end GPU option, and the new model offers better surface temperatures. For detailed benchmarks and more information, you can check out our review of the XMG Neo 15 with AMD CPU.
