The XMG CORE 16 VE expands the CORE 16 product line with a more affordable entry-level model that comes in at €200 less than the standard version. Despite the lower price, the Value Edition retains the same high-quality aluminium chassis, but pairs it with more budget-conscious components. These include an AMD Ryzen 7 H 255 processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 graphics, and an 80 Wh battery. The 16-inch IPS display continues to offer a sharp 2,560 x 1,600 resolution and a brightness of 500 nits, while the refresh rate is adjusted to 180 Hz. Like its higher-end sibling, the CORE 16 VE supports up to 128 GB of RAM and 16 TB of SSD storage, and offers a comprehensive range of external ports.

Under the hood, it is equipped with AMD's Ryzen 7 H 255 processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 running at up to 115 watts including Dynamic Boost. The battery capacity comes in at a generous 80 Wh, slightly below the 99.8 Wh of the standard model.
