ROG XG Mobile

Boost beyond.

The XG Mobile combines the power of an external GPU with the expandability of a Thunderbolt Dock and puts it all into an extremely portable package the size of a hardcover novel. Boasting up to an NVIDIA^® GeForce RTX™ 5090 Laptop GPU, this portable powerhouse is designed to game at the highest levels. By leveraging the incredible bandwidth of Thunderbolt™ 5, the XG Mobile not only boosts your gaming performance, but also offers a host of connectivity options including wired ethernet and high-speed USB ports in one slim package. For gamers that need serious power without sacrificing their setup’s portability, or creators that need flagship rendering power from a single Thunderbolt™ connection, the ROG XG Mobile has arrived.

The 2025 ROG XG Mobile has arrived. Now sporting a Thunderbolt™ 5 connection and an NVIDIA^® GeForce RTX™ Next-Gen GPU, the XG Mobile offers incredible portability and cutting-edge capability.

CUTTING-EDGE GRAPHICS

Gamers and creators alike can leverage the incredible performance of up to an NVIDIA^® GeForce RTX™ 5090 Laptop GPU. With up to 24GB of GDDR7 VRAM and a max TGP of 150W, The XG Mobile is the ultimate companion for gamers who demand the absolute best performance in AAA titles, or for creators who need to take the power of a high-end editing rig with them on the go.

DESIGN

Smaller and lighter

Traditional external graphics cards occupy large desktop enclosures, so we’ve always designed the XG Mobile to be about the size and weight of a standard hardcover novel. But we upped the ante this year, reducing both the weight and overall size of the device compared to last generation. The 2025 XG Mobile will easily slip into even the smallest bags and backpacks, and weighting less than 1 kilogram, it’s light enough to be carried anywhere you need to go without a second thought.

Cutting-edge MOSFETs

The 2025 XG Mobile uses all-new active bridge rectifier MOSFETs instead of traditional diodes to regulate power delivery, allowing us to reduce bulk and weight while keeping a 330W power profile. This allowed us to shave 150g off the weight of the power board and increase power efficiency at the same time. These MOSFETs are especially useful in reducing voltage drop in high-current applications, giving the XG Mobile rock-solid performance in any scenario.

*Actual performance of the 330W power board may vary due to individual product differences, usage habits, and environmental factors.

Lean in

The XG Mobile features a new hinge for 2025, now much lower profile to take up less of your desk space. The stand subtly hints at the signature ROG Slash design language. We’ve also included a stand in the box, allowing the device to stand up completely vertical if you prefer that look.

See the power

We’re so proud of the 2025 XG Mobile that we wanted to show off its components for the whole world to see. An off-black semi-transparent chassis offers a glimpse inside this marvel of engineering, with its robust power delivery modules and other surface-mounted components clearly visible on the mainboard, as well as a fully RGB Fearless Eye logo.

Intro

This much power requires a cutting-edge cooling solution, especially when packed into such a small package. With a redesign of the fan placement, a lighter fan shroud, a new vapor chamber, and an integrated dust filter, the 2025 XG Mobile has the most advanced cooling system ever.

Brand New Vapor Chamber

A copper vapor chamber provides more surface contact with heat-generating components than a traditional heatpipe system, increasing cooling efficiency without increasing bulk. The 2025 XG Mobile features a brand-new copper vapor chamber, reducing weight by 30% while maintaining thermal performance with 50% thicker capillary structures.

Ultra-thin Fins

Ultra-thin fins further help to reduce weight without sacrificing cooling efficiency.

Dust Filter

TThe 2025 XG Mobile includes a dust filter to keep dust and particulate debris out of the system so the fans can keep breathing fresh air.

Quieter Vent Layout

The 2025 XG Mobile keeps the fan assembly as far away from the user as possible, reducing noise by 3dB.

SOFTWARE

Shine on

The XG Mobile wouldn’t be a true ROG device without a little RGB flair. The ROG Fearless Eye logo has full Aura Sync support, allowing you to easily pair it up with your laptop, headset, mouse, or other Aura-compatible peripherals for a unified look.

IO PORTS

The XG Mobile easily hosts a wide range of connectivity options. From a dedicated 5Gbps ethernet port to both an HDMI 2.1 and a DisplayPort 2.1 port, the XG Mobile has plenty of next-gen options to keep you connected.

*The 5Gb LAN, SD card reader, and USB-A ports share a single U3 hub with a total bandwidth of 10Gb. Bandwidth for each port may vary depending on how many devices are all plugged in; with all ports occupied, each port can utilize up to 2.5Gb.
