XMG Pro 16 Studio (Mid 23) review: The RTX 4070 laptop for gamers and creators
According to Schenker, the XMG Pro 16 Studio is a “professional workstation for content creation”. The specs fit: Core i9, an RTX 4070, Thunderbolt 4 and a 16:10 display (QHD+, 240 Hz). A vapor chamber supposedly ensures optimum heat dissipation and quiet cooling.

Schenker has introduced its Pro 16 Studio, a laptop for gamers and creators. Its installed Raptor Lake CPU can be supported by a GeForce RTX 4060 or an RTX 4070 — our test device is fitted with an RTX 4070. The present variant can be purchased for around US$2,400 and prices start from around US$1,900. The laptop can be individually configured and ordered via Schenker’s online store, bestware.com.
A Core i9-13900H and GeForce RTX 4070 equip the laptop for rendering, video and image editing, as well as for gaming. The CPU has access to 32 GB RAM (DDR5-5600, dual-channel mode). It is possible to expand the storage. The device can accommodate two PCIe 4 SSDs (M.2-2280). RAID-0/1 is supported.
The installed hardware can run current games smoothly on the matte display. Generally, you can use the full display resolution (2,560 x 1,600 pixels) and high to maximum settings. Higher resolutions would be possible with the corresponding display connected — however, with reduced settings. The Pro 16 features three video outputs (2x Displayport, 1x HDMI). The installed 16-inch display (16:10, IPS, 240 Hz, sRGB) left a good impression on us in total.
One battery charge (73 Wh) is enough to achieve WLAN runtimes of about 7 hours — in view of the battery’s size, this is quite a good result. Positive: You don’t necessarily have to carry the bulky 230-watt power with you all the time, as the laptop can also be charged via its Thunderbolt 4 USB-C port which supports Power Delivery.

Originally from Scotland, I grew up and lived in Germany until I completed my high school qualifications before moving back to Scotland to complete my university studies. Growing up bilingual led me to form a close relationship with the English and German languages, often working in the fields of teaching and translation. Most of my childhood was shaped by playing around on new consoles, computers and gadgets and getting to grips with the new craze of the internet and smartphones. This interest has stayed with me well into adulthood. Nowadays, I live in Glasgow and work as a freelance translator and digital media coordinator. I have been translating for Notebookcheck since early 2023.
