The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro offers robust performance with its dedicated Nvidia RTX graphics card, making it suitable for engineering applications, 3D rendering, and some gaming. However, it's larger and heavier, which can impact portability. The XPG Xenia 14, on the other hand, is lighter and more portable but relies on integrated graphics, which is less optimal for intensive tasks yet sufficient for general use. Both laptops have similar performance for everyday tasks, but if you need better graphical capability and don't mind a bit extra weight, the Lenovo might suit you better. If you prioritize portability and mostly do less demanding work, the XPG Xenia 14 could be more convenient. Give Feedback

Florian Glaser | September 2022
"The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro turns out a successful all-rounder that, aside from 3D applications, always strikes a good or very good figure. This begins with the elegant metal case that isn't particularly light but fairly robust, giving a high-quality impression. The input devices are also better than those of many competitors. Both the keyboard and the touchpad are attractive and comfortable. In addition, the performance of the Ryzen 5 6600HS is easily able to keep up with the Intel competitors."

"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."
