The Dell Inspiron 14 7420 and the XPG Xenia 14 are similarly priced with matching storage and RAM. The Dell has a higher-tier main processor, which could provide better overall performance, but the XPG has longer battery life for extended usage between charges. If touchscreen and 2-in-1 capabilities are preferences, go for the Dell. For portability, XPG's lighter weight gives it an edge. Both have comparable color space coverage indicating similar screen quality for general use. The Dell is better suited for general use and light engineering tasks, while the XPG strikes a balance of portability and decent performance. Give Feedback

Allen Ngo | June 2022
"Notable qualities of the Inspiron 7420 2-in-1 include the 16:10 aspect ratio, strong hinges, 12th gen Intel CPU with optional GeForce MX graphics, and easy serviceability. Such features would typically cost hundreds of dollars more on higher-end alternatives from competing manufacturers. The value proposition is therefore relatively high for users looking to maximize bang for the buck."

"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."
