With the XMG FOCUS 17, XMG presents a laptop that is unusual in several respects, combining a 17.3-inch display in 16:9 format with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. The choice of form factor reflects continued strong demand for this specific screen size and aspect ratio. Positioned below the XMG PRO 16 in terms of pricing, the FOCUS 17 features a WQHD display with 100% DCI-P3 color space coverage and a 240 Hz refresh rate. Customers can choose between an Intel Core i9-14900HX or i9-13900HX processor.

To position the XMG FOCUS 17 in the sub-€2,000 price range, XMG is offering two 24-core, 32-thread CPUs from Intel's previous Raptor Lake HX generation: the Core i9-13900HX and its refresh, the Core i9-14900HX. The key difference between the two lies in the slightly higher boost clock of the 14900HX, reaching up to 5.8 GHz compared to 5.4 GHz. Both CPUs continue to deliver excellent gaming performance while being significantly more cost-effective than the newer Core Ultra 9 275HX.
