The HP Omen 15, with its robust processor and dedicated graphics card, is well-suited for gaming and intensive engineering work; however, it's heavier and usually more expensive than the XPG Xenia 14, which could make it less appealing for frequent travel. On the other hand, the XPG Xenia 14 is more affordable, lighter, and has a better portability score, making it an excellent choice for general use and mobility, but its integrated graphics and processor are less powerful, thus not ideal for heavy 3D tasks or engineering software that demands high performance.

The HP Omen 15 and XPG Xenia 14 are both good for general use, though the HP Omen 15 is somewhat better.
The HP Omen 15 offers a powerful AMD Ryzen processor and a high-performance Nvidia graphics card, making it suitable for general use with an edge towards gaming and demanding tasks, but it is bulkier and heavier, which could affect portability. On the other hand, the XPG Xenia 14 with its Intel processor and integrated graphics is lighter and highly portable, offering great battery life and a higher resolution 16:10 screen, which is excellent for productivity and media consumption, but it might not handle intensive tasks as well as the Omen 15.

The HP Omen 15 is good for gaming and AI, while the XPG Xenia 14 is only fair.
The HP Omen 15 outperforms the XPG Xenia 14 in gaming and 3D tasks due to its more powerful Nvidia RTX 3070 GPU and higher screen refresh rate of 144Hz, compared to the XPG Xenia 14's integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics and 60Hz screen refresh rate. While both have good CPUs and screen quality, the GPU and screen refresh rate are very important for gaming and 3D performance, giving the HP Omen 15 an advantage in these areas.

The HP Omen 15 has a better screen than the XPG Xenia 14 for general use, gaming and AI, software development, and content creation.
For general use, the HP Omen 15 and the XPG Xenia 14 offer displays with suitable resolution and brightness, providing a comfortable viewing experience for everyday tasks like browsing and video streaming. In engineering and design, both laptops' screens cover a wide range of colors, making them suitable for professionals who require accurate color representation for their projects. However, for gaming and 3D applications, their lower refresh rates lead to less fluid motion, which isn't ideal for fast-paced visuals that benefit from smoother on-screen action.

Florian Glaser | January 2021
"We consider around 1,260 Euros (~$1530) for a Ryzen 7 4800H, a GeForce RTX 2060, a 512 GB SSD and 16 GB dual-channel RAM to be a good offer that appeals to price-conscious gamers. Very high details are rarely a problem in the native resolution of 1,920 x 1,080. Buyers will also be spoiled with a top-notch battery life that even beats most other notebook classes. If HP now improves the speed of the WLAN module, the stability of the case and the repeatedly criticized picture quality, the competition will have to dress extra warmly."

"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."
