The ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 generally costs a bit more, features an Intel i7 processor, touchscreen, and a larger battery, suitable for intensive tasks with a tradeoff in weight and size. On the other hand, the XPG Xenia 14 is usually less expensive, comes with an Intel i5 processor, more RAM, and has a higher resolution non-touchscreen, which offers longer battery life and better portability due to its lighter weight and smaller size, making it a choice worth considering for general use and on-the-go productivity.

The XPG Xenia 14 and ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 and the XPG Xenia 14 are categorized as fair for gaming and 3D since both utilize integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics, which offer modest performance but fall short for demanding games and 3D applications, and their screens have a standard refresh rate of 60Hz, which is adequate for casual gaming but not ideal for fast-paced, competitive games. While both laptops have high-quality IPS displays, their CPUs, the i7-1195G7 in the Zenbook and the i5-1135G7 in the Xenia, provide decent processing power, but gaming and 3D tasks often make better use of the stronger capabilities found in dedicated gaming or workstation-class devices.

"The Asus ZenBook Duo's second screen is like the Apple Touch Bar, but better. Most would agree that having two screens instead of one can really boost productivity and the ZenBook Duo is no different in this regard. It's tough going back to just one screen after becoming accustomed to spacious dual-screen setups. For a laptop form factor, however, users will have to accept some compromises. Firstly, weight is the most obvious drawback as the system is several hundred grams heavier than a regular ZenBook 14. Additionally, colors on the second screen will not be as vivid as the main display."

"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."
