It’s always good to have options, and AFTERSHOCK PC recognises the importance of it. The homegrown tech company has always offered hardware customisation and differently specc-ed alternatives for its selection of laptops and desktop rigs, allowing users to build their dream setup, and level up their game.
With its latest ready-to-ship laptops, the team continues to keep the decision-making process open for users. The Forge 15X, Apex 15S, Apex 15R, and Nova 16X are all geared up to reach the pinnacle of gaming needs, with each catering to different preferences and demands. Individually, they pack a powerful punch, sporting various NVIDIA features like DLSS 3 (AI-accelerated performance), NVIDIA Reflex Low-Latency Platform, and next-generation ray-tracing technology.
Here’s the kicker, though – all of these builds qualify for same-day delivery, which means you can say goodbye to the wait. For those who swing by the showroom at Suntec City, there’s an even sweeter deal laying in wait. The company’s cash-and-carry scheme lets customers purchase any laptop at the retail space, collect it on the spot, and take it home with minimal fuss. It’s quick and easy, serving as a convenient solution to beating the queue.
Aftershock Apex 15R: AMD Powerhouse
A new addition to the family, the Apex 15R ditches the Intel convention for AMD prowess. Powered by AMD Ryzen 7 processors and an NVIDIA RTX 4050 or RTX 4060 GPU, it comes highly recommended for both casual gaming and productivity alike. The laptop is further paired with a 15.6-inch QHD display (2,560 x 1,440) and a 165Hz refresh rate, allowing for a smooth, lively play-by-play of the on-screen visuals.
When working hours set in, the wide colour gamut brings accurate and vibrant hues to the table, while GPU Acceleration boosts the performance and speed of professional software. Those who prefer a low-profile aesthetic will appreciate its minimalist design, while its port selection (3 x USB-A, 1 x USB-C, 1 x HDMI, 1 x mini DisplayPort, 1 x Ethernet slot, 1 x SD card reader, and a 3.5mm audio jack) should satisfy the need for more gaming connectivity options.
The Aftershock Apex 15R is available at the starting price of S$1,465 for the RTX 4050 models, and S$1,650 for the RTX 4060 builds.
Aftershock Apex 15S: Lean, Mean Gaming Machine
Don’t be fooled by the look of the Aftershock Apex 15S. The laptop may cut a svelte, slim figure and tip the scales at just 2kg, but it stores plenty of oomph under the hood. Armed with a 12th Gen Intel Core processor and an RTX 4060 or RTX 4070 GPU, it presents an alternative for users seeking more graphical power.
Like its sibling, the lean, mean machine boasts a 15.6-inch 165Hz QHD display wrapped in the same stealthy look. The upgraded hardware puts this at a higher starting price of S$1,650 and S$1,945 for the RTX 4060 and RTX 4070 models respectively, which is quite the bargain.
Aftershock Forge 15X: Dynamic Performance-Value Duo
As compared to the other models, the laptop focuses more heavily on customisation. Users can choose between a 15.6-inch FHD 144Hz display (1,920 x 1,080) with the RTX 4050 outfit, or a QHD 165Hz panel for the RTX 4060 and RTX 4070 configurations. More notably, it also comes with an improved cooling solution in tow, and can be hooked up easily to a battlestation setup – courtesy of support for three displays.
The icing on the cake? All these perks will be made available at a reasonable, competitive price. The Aftershock Forge 15X is available with a starting price of S$1,525 for the RTX 4050 models, S$1,799 for the RTX 4060 builds, and S$2,299 for the RTX 4070 models.
Aftershock Nova 16X: Peak Of Gaming Excellence
Go big or go home is how the Aftershock Nova 16X rolls. The 16-inch flagship offering is designed to offer best-in-class performance, and it certainly walks the talk. Equipped with all the latest hardware from a 13th Gen Intel Core i9 processor to either an RTX 4080 or RTX 4090 graphics card, it condenses the beastly power of a desktop into a more compact form factor.
Esports enthusiasts and fans of fast-paced titles will find comfort in its crisp 240Hz WQXGA wide colour display (2,560 x 1,600), which ensures maximum detail, sharp, fluid visuals, and picture-perfect clarity for every gaming session. With cinematic sequences, users can expect even more immersion, accentuated by colour-accurate and vibrant images.
The greatest weapon here, though, is its cooling performance. Not only does the laptop come with carefully-engineered airflow, enhanced heat sink technology, and a generous ventilation design, the Glacier Core water-cooling module enables it to beat the heat even under intense duress. Simply snap it on, and the Nova 16X can be switched between air-cooling, hybrid air, or watercooling, which allows for higher clock speeds, lower temperatures, and reduced fan noise.
The price to pay for top-of-the-line performance starts at S$3,635 for the RTX 4080 model, and S$4,395 for the RTX 4090 iteration.
From the Apex 15R to the Nova 16X, there’s an Aftershock laptop for everyone – be it for work, play, or both. The former, for instance, is ideal for casual gaming, individuals with a leaner wallet, or those who prefer an AMD set-up, while more dedicated and hardcore users can bask in maximum gaming immersion with the most premium model.
No matter the choice, one thing’s bound to sweeten the deal for this ready-to-ship range – the lack of a wait that comes with same-day delivery. Aftershock PC showroom at Suntec City takes things a notch further by allowing customers to try out a laptop, and bring it home right there and then. Talk about efficiency!
