The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is less expensive and offers an OLED screen with better resolution and color coverage, which is ideal for creative work and watching high-quality content, but it has lower storage and memory compared to the XPG Xenia 14. Furthermore, the Vivobook has lesser battery life and is heavier than the Xenia, making it less ideal for extended use away from a power source or on-the-go. The Xenia 14, although a bit more expensive, provides more storage, double the memory for better multitasking, a lighter build for portability, and a longer battery life, making it better suited for mobile users and those needing more on-device resources.

The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 has a better screen than the XPG Xenia 14 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 boasts a high-resolution display with vibrant colors and excellent brightness, making it well-suited for everyday tasks and professional work in engineering and design where color accuracy is crucial. However, its lower refresh rate holds it back for gaming and 3D applications where fluid motion is key. In contrast, the XPG Xenia 14 provides decent color representation and adequate brightness for both general use and creative tasks but also falls short in gaming due to a refresh rate that doesn't cater to the high-speed visuals preferred in that domain.

The XPG Xenia 14 and ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 are both good for general use.
The XPG Xenia 14 outperforms the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 in general use primarily because it has double the RAM and more storage, which contributes to better overall performance and multitasking capabilities; additionally, the Xenia 14 has a lighter build and longer battery life, enhancing its portability for everyday tasks. Although the Vivobook Pro 14 has a higher quality OLED screen, which is superior for vibrant colors and contrast, this advantage is offset by the XPG's superior portability and the adequacy of its IPS display for general use.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 to be good for engineering and design, while the XPG Xenia 14 is only fair.
The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is well-suited for engineering and design due to its OLED display which offers exceptional screen quality, high resolution, and color accuracy crucial for precise work while its Intel Iris Xe graphics can handle moderately intensive graphical tasks. Conversely, the XPG Xenia 14, with more RAM and a higher portability score, appeals to on-the-go professionals in need of powerful multitasking capabilities and a device easy to carry, although it sacrifices some screen quality with its lower resolution IPS panel.

"The Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED is a Pantone Validated laptop that packs a lot of processing power. The Asus VivoBook Pro 14 OLED's highlight is its outstanding display: Featuring a 3K resolution in the 16:10 format and nearly a 100% coverage of the Display P3 color space, the display hardly leaves anything to be desired. The Asus laptop also shows impeccable rates in terms of general system performance. Combined with long battery life, low noise emissions, and relatively good speakers, the laptop can be recommended to users who can accept compromises in terms of connectivity."

"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."
