The ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is better suited for intensive gaming and engineering tasks due to its powerful AMD Ryzen CPU and RX 6800M GPU, but it's heavier and less portable. The XPG Xenia 14, on the other hand, is significantly lighter and more portable with a higher resolution screen, making it ideal for general use and everyday carry, though it has less power for gaming and intensive tasks due to its Intel i5 CPU and integrated graphics. Consider the ASUS if gaming or heavy applications are your focus, and the XPG if you need something easier to carry for regular use. Give Feedback

How the ASUS ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition and the XPG Xenia 14 compare to other laptops
"The Asus ROG Strix G15, as the first in a line of "AMD Advantage"-branded notebooks, is a statement that yes, you can get a premium AMD gaming notebook. Maybe you can't have it all, but you can get pretty close. The ROG Strix G15's combination of the AMD Ryzen 5900HX and Radeon RX 6800M, as well as other technologies that take advantage of them, make a potent, thin gaming machine. Powerful Dolby Atmos speakers and long battery life when you aren't gaming are nice bonuses."
"The Xenia 14 is a top 14-inch laptop under 1 kg. ADATA isn't exactly known for its laptops and so we weren't expecting much from its first 14-inch Ultrabook. With that said, we're pleasantly surprised by how well the Xenia 14 looks and performs. Not only is it incredibly light, but it has a color accurate 16:10 display, high CPU and GPU performance, easy RAM and SSD serviceability, plenty of port options including Thunderbolt 4, and long battery life. It packs a lot of punch and features considering the size and weight to be better than even the LG Gram series."
