If you prioritize high-end performance for tasks like 3D rendering, machine learning, or engineering software, the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is a robust choice with a high-quality OLED screen and a powerful processor and graphics card. However, it is less portable due to its size and weight. Conversely, the XPG Xenia 14 offers significantly better portability and battery life for general use and is more budget-friendly, but it lacks the high performance and superior display qualities of the ASUS. Neither is ideal for intensive gaming despite the ASUS's gaming-grade hardware due to its limited refresh rate and heavy design. Give Feedback

The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is very good for general use, while the XPG Xenia 14 is good.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 stands out for general use due to its high-powered CPU and substantial RAM, a vibrant OLED screen, and dedicated graphics, which compensate for its heavier weight and shorter battery life. On the other hand, the XPG Xenia 14, while lighter and offering longer battery life for better portability, has a less powerful CPU, less RAM, and an IPS screen, making it less suitable for the most demanding tasks but still good for everyday use.

The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is good for gaming and AI, while the XPG Xenia 14 is only fair.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is superior for gaming and 3D applications due to its more powerful Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti GPU and high-quality OLED screen, which are key for smooth and immersive graphics. In contrast, the XPG Xenia 14, with its less powerful Intel Iris Xe graphics and standard IPS panel, provides a fair gaming experience but is not as capable with demanding 3D tasks.

Jared Newman | August 2021
"Benchmarks aside, the Asus ZenBook Pro Duo is hard to compare with other PCs. Its closest competition may be a multi-monitor desktop, or a laptop with an attached travel monitor. The Pro Duo is more portable and versatile than either of those options, especially with the software tools Asus has thrown on top. For a certain niche of artists, media creators, and gamers, all that might add up to something special, even if it’s unattainable for the rest of us."

"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."
