Gaming is all about speed and power, and Aftershock PC looks to offer both with its new lineup of gaming laptops. The company has announced the Forge 15X, Apex 16S and Nova 16X, all of which feature the latest NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards.
Hailed as a more wallet-friendly alternative, the upgraded Forge 15X now comes equipped with the Intel Core i5 and i7 processors, as well as the RTX 4050, 4060, and 4070 GPU options. It supports DDR5 memory and FHD resolution (1920 x 1080) on a 15.6-inch 144Hz display, which goes up to QHD resolution (2560 x 1440) and 165Hz on the RTX 4070 iteration.
The Apex 15S, meanwhile, is designed as a mid to high range performance laptop. Powered by RTX 4060 and 4070 graphics cards, it pairs Intel’s 12th generation chips with a 165Hz QHD display to deliver both visual and graphical prowess.
Closing off the list is the Nova 16X, a brand-new flagship model that packs an Intel Core 13th generation processor and the RTX 4070, 4080, and 4090 options. The most premium of the lot, the device sports a 240Hz QHD panel and an improved cooling system, which can be easily switched with the Glacier Core water-cooling unit add-on.
Pricing for the Forge 15X and Apex 15S starts at S$1,545 and S$1,725 respectively. Both laptops are now on pre-order alongside the RTX 4070 variant of the Nova 16X. That’s going for S$2,795, but those looking for an RTX 4080 or RTX 4090 upgrade will have to shell out a minimum of S$3,595.
