The first model update for XMG's ultrabooks, originally introduced last year, is now underway. Leading the way is the XMG EVO 14, which will be available with three different AMD Ryzen AI processors, including the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. The 1.45 kg laptop features a brighter 1800p display, now offering 500 nits compared to the previous 400 nits. Other highlights include an 80 Wh battery, a dual-fan cooling system and a wide range of external connectivity options. Like its predecessor, the EVO 14 continues to rely on upgradeable, plugged-in SSDs and DDR5 RAM modules - now configurable with up to 128 GB of memory.

Launched in 2024, the EVO series marked XMG's first ultrabooks to forgo a dedicated graphics unit in favour of an efficient integrated graphics solution. The 14-inch model is the first to receive an update: the XMG EVO 14 (E25) is now available with a choice of three AMD processors. Alongside AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (12 cores, 24 threads), XMG is offering the compact 311 x 220 x 17 mm, 1.45 kg ultrabook with either the Ryzen AI 9 365 (10 cores, 20 threads) or Ryzen AI 7 350 (8 cores, 16 threads). These options also differ in their integrated graphics: with 16 compute units, the iGPU in the HX 370 delivers the highest 3D performance for accelerating content creation applications or enabling entry-level gaming.
