At Computex 2026 XMG announced the PRO 18 and PRO 18 Value Edition (VE) notebooks marking the company's return to the large-format laptop segment. Both notebooks share the same base platform as the existing PRO 16 series. The 2.8 kg chassis is approximately 24.5 mm thick and has a structurally stabilizing aluminium display lid. The XMG PRO 18 is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card with 12 GB GDDR7. The display is an IPS panel at 2,560 x 1,600 pixels with a 300 Hz refresh rate, 500 nits brightness and 100% DCI-P3 coverage.
