The Lenovo Legion 5 15" with its AMD Ryzen 7 processor and Nvidia RTX 4060 graphics is better suited for gaming, 3D applications, and demanding engineering software, delivering strong performance at the cost of a heavier frame and shorter battery life. On the other hand, the XPG Xenia 14, with its Intel i5 processor and integrated graphics, is more portable and energy-efficient, making it ideal for general use and less intensive tasks. Both have similar storage and memory. If performance in resource-heavy programs is crucial, the Lenovo is a good fit, whereas the XPG Xenia is suitable for on-the-go use with moderate computing needs. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion 5 15" is very good for engineering and design, while the XPG Xenia 14 is only fair.
The Lenovo Legion 5 15" excels in engineering and design due to its robust CPU, ample RAM, high-quality GPU, and superior screen quality, which are critical for such tasks, although it is less portable and has a bulkier build. The XPG Xenia 14, while also suitable for engineering and design with respectable CPU, RAM, GPU, and screen quality, offers better portability and a more compact design, but may compromise on the ultimate performance and screen size needed for the most demanding tasks.

The Lenovo Legion 5 15" has a better screen than the XPG Xenia 14 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
The Lenovo Legion 5 15" likely has a display with solid resolution and brightness suitable for general use, and its color gamut coverage would satisfy engineering and design needs. However, its lower refresh rate would make it less ideal for fast-paced gaming or 3D work where smooth motion is crucial. Similarly, the XPG Xenia 14's screen may deliver in terms of clarity and color accuracy for general tasks and professional design work, but it falls short for gaming and 3D applications, where the screen's refresh capabilities can't keep up with rapid on-screen changes.

Andreas Osthoff | September 2021
"The Lenovo Legion 5 15 is an affordable gaming laptop with a lot of power. The new AMD processor Ryzen 7 5800H offers plenty of performance and it is also very efficient. The combination with the fast 130W version of the GeForce RTX 3060 ensures high gaming performance. We also like the fast 165 Hz display with the 1080p resolution. The automatic graphics switching causes some problems with stutters, which are very annoying. If you do not need long battery runtimes, you should definitely deactivate the hybrid graphics mode in Lenovo's Vantage app. The Legion 5 15 is never silent."

"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."
