XPG, a fast-growing provider of systems, components, and peripherals for Gamers, Esports Pros, and Tech Enthusiasts, today launched the latest generation of the XPG XENIA 15G gaming laptop to markets around the globe . Designed to be an all-around price to performance laptop for gamers, developers, and content creators, XPG has worked tirelessly to deliver a product that will meet all your needs without breaking the bank. With XENIA 15G (2024), no obstacle is too great.
Do Anything and Everything
XENIA 15G is the culmination of many years of gaming laptop development. In that time, countless hours of research and testing have gone in to produce a cost-effective laptop for the modern user. With a 14th Gen Intel Core i7-14700HX processor , up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 series GPU, high-speed ADATA DDR5 DRAM, and a 15.6” FHD IPS 144Hz display, you can play anything and do everything without sacrificing performance.
Insane Expand ability
In a world where games can easily be more than 100GB with patches and DLC, entire servers are being run through laptops, and users are developing and managing their own closed AI models, the need for more expandability is a must. Gone are the days where 8GB of RAM and 100GB of storage are considered solid for gaming. So, XPG has created a laptop built around the idea of continuous expansion and upgrading. While XENIA 15G comes standard with a high-speed 1TB ADATA LEGEND 850 SSD, a whopping total of three SSD slots have been provided. Meaning that you can easily expand your storage capacity up to an impressive 24TB when paired with ADATA S70 8TB SSDs. Similarly, this unit comes with 16GB of ADATA DDR5 DRAM, but can be expanded up to a total of 96GB (2 x ADATA DDR5 48GB module). Perfect for intensive AI development and content creation workloads.
Tweaks for Geeks
XPG XENIA 15G offers a lot of benefits that might go overlooked to the undiscerning user. Out of the box, you can dominate demanding tasks with the power-packed Intel Core i7-14700HX CPU. But don’t forget that with the 5.5 GHz max turbo capabilities you can get even smoother, uninterrupted performance. Similarly, the GeForce RTX 40 Series laptop GPU leverages NVIDIA’s Ada Lovelace architecture, delivering a quantum leap in performance with AI-powered DLSS 3 and full ray tracing for the latest games. Additionally, the included MUX switch allows users to switch between NVIDIA Optimus Hybrid Mode and Discrete Graphics Mode, bypassing the integrated graphics and sending frames directly to the display. This unlocks higher frame rates, smoother gameplay, and reduced latency, offering an unparalleled laptop gaming experience.
The XPG XENIA 15G (2024) does it all. Whether you’re a AAA gamer, content creator, AI developer, student, or working professional, this laptop can meet all your needs; and with the large number of expansion options, it can do so continuously for years to come. Work, create, and play with XPG on the XENIA 15G.
XPG XENIA 15G (2024) is available now. For more product information, please click HERE .
