Life is all about balance, finding the perfect middle ground between a hard day’s work and going hard in game when the work’s done. At homegrown tech firm AFTERSHOCK PC, the importance is not building machines that are just one-trick ponies, but versatile systems packed with enough power and features to handle anything life throws its way.

It’s latest MX-16 and X-16 PRO 16-inch models mark the company’s latest range of ready-to-ship laptops, catering for both productivity and gaming, each harnessing the power of its Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor and Nvidia’s latest GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs for exceptional gaming performance, amplifying performance with Nvidia’s Blackwell architecture features such as DLSS 4 Super Resolution and Multi-Frame Generation.
Having beefy hardware isn’t purely beneficial for providing a smooth gaming experience, but also for powering creator software, which can often be equally as demanding depending on the type of project required. With such raw processing power at their disposal, AFTERSHOCK’s laptop duo handles taxing tasks efficiently with the help of AI (artificial intelligence) task acceleration, spanning professional-grade video and photo editing, animation and graphic design. The laptops can also be customised with up to three total storage drives, ensuring that there’s always enough space for important files, making them well-rounded workstations that transform into gaming powerhouses at a moment’s notice.

Those eager to pick up AFTERSHOCK’s latest laptops don’t have to go through the process of waiting weeks on end to receive their new systems either, as apart from being available and customisable on their website, some ready-to-ship configurations are even eligible for same-day delivery, essentially cutting out any downtime. Additionally, those who swing by the AFTERSHOCK showroom at Suntec City can also try out the systems for a better feel of what they are like in-hand to try, buy, and bring them home without any hassle.
AFTERSHOCK MX-16: More Screens, Faster Connectivity

For those looking to build a multi-display setup, the MX-16 shines in its connectivity options, supporting up to four active secondary displays capable of up to 4K resolution. With its lightweight 2.3kg chassis, building such a workstation is no longer a mess of cables and heavy equipment, as everything is handled efficiently on the single laptop system, with the ability to quickly unplug the device to take both work and play on the go.
The laptop’s connectivity prowess extends to its network options as well, with the MX-16 featuring support for the latest Wi-Fi 7 connectivity bands, boasting internet speeds of up to 46Gbps, with wider 320MHz channels for higher bandwidth, resulting in faster connections perfect for online gaming or streaming high-resolution content. With additional Multi-Link Operation (MLO), Wi-Fi 7 also utilises multiple frequency bands simultaneously, ensuring that internet speeds are not only fast, but stable too, improving reliability by reducing lags and sudden dropouts.

And while engaging in high-intensity online games or streaming high-resolution videos, ensuring that the device’s screen presents a smooth and clear image at all times becomes much more important. With the MX-16’s support for Nvidia’s G-Sync display technology, annoying screen tearing becomes a thing of the past, synchronising the refresh rate of the laptop’s display to its GPU for a more stable viewing experience with minimised stutter and input lag, ensuring an uncompromised image.
The AFTERSHOCK MX-16 is available from S$2,699, with a choice between an RTX 5070Ti, 5080, and 5090 GPU variants, upgradable RAM, and up to three Solid State Drives (SSDs).
AFTERSHOCK X-16 PRO: 300Hz of Glorious Screen Refresh Rate

When clarity and smoothness are the priority, the X-16 PRO takes the spotlight, headlined by its 16-inch QHD (2,560 x 1,600 resolution) MiniLED display capable of outputting 1,200nits of brightness, and most importantly, an ultra-smooth 300Hz refresh rate, offering not just vibrant colour accuracy with its 100% DCI-P3 coverage that’s perfect for creators, but a frankly insane refresh rate for a buttery-smooth viewing experience.
Running the latest triple-A games and intensive rendering software can take its toll on a system’s hardware, and while the laptop’s internal cooling systems can get the job done, those with more intense requirements can opt for the X-16 PRO’s optional external liquid cooling technology, the glacier closed-loop water-cooling module. Once connected to the device via a dedicated liquid cooling connector port on the laptop’s rear, the module helps to reduce operating temperatures and ambient noise, with the added thermal management resulting in higher overall clock speeds, literally transforming the laptop into a pseudo desktop powerhouse.

The X-16 PRO isn’t just capable of professional-grade editing tasks and heavyweight gaming while docked, it also boasts top-of-the-line functionality while used on the go with its hefty 99WH battery, making it more than capable of lasting an entire day of remote work, so users can head home after a productive day at work, dock in their water cooling module, and enjoy a well-earned gaming break all without scrambling for the nearest power outlet.
Starting from S$3,999, the AFTERSHOCK X-16 PRO is available in RTX 5080 and 5090 variations, further customisable with upgradable RAM and up to two Solid State Drives (SSDs), with the choice of an additional Glacier Core External Water-cooling Dock.
Whether you are an avid gamer looking for the latest laptop gaming technologies, a content creator after a powerful editing beast, or someone in between, AFTERSHOCK provides the tools needed for every situation with the MX-16 and X-16 PRO, offering top-notch flexibility and options to customise rigs to suit each individual’s lifestyle.

As a final cherry on top, say goodbye to the long wait that usually comes with buying a new device, as this ready-to-ship range also includes same-day delivery. For those still unsure if the laptops will fit in amongst their current workstation or gaming setups, the AFTERSHOCK PC showroom at Suntec City offers the same convenient experience while allowing customers to test the laptops onsite before making their decisions, ensuring they can shop efficiently, all with the maximum ease of mind.
