If portability and battery life are important to you, the XPG Xenia 14 stands out as it is lighter with better battery longevity. However, for more storage, stronger performance in general use, 3D and machine learning tasks, as well as engineering applications, the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" offers superior capabilities but is heavier and has a higher price. Neither is ideal for intensive gaming, although the Lenovo would perform better than the XPG due to a more powerful graphics card. The Lenovo's screen is larger which could benefit productivity and entertainment, but also contributes to its reduced portability compared to the XPG. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" is very good for general use, while the XPG Xenia 14 is good.
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" is favored for general use due to its more robust CPU and larger, higher resolution screen, which could lead to better multitasking and clearer visuals, but it is heavier and has a shorter battery life compared to the highly portable XPG Xenia 14 which offers a longer battery life but comes with a less powerful processor and smaller screen.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" is very good for gaming and AI, while the XPG Xenia 14 is only fair.
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" delivers a more immersive gaming experience with its superior graphics capabilities and higher screen refresh rate, providing smoother visuals crucial for gaming and 3D tasks. On the other hand, the XPG Xenia 14, while serviceable for lighter gaming, falls short of the Legion's performance due to its less powerful GPU and lower refresh rate, though it can handle general use and less demanding activities adequately.

"The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 is a slim Legion notebook that is just as excellent with Nvidia & Intel. However, the Legion Slim 7i slightly sullied by lacklustre battery life. You get a slim aluminium chassis, great input devices, decent port selection, fast high-quality WQXGA display and great performance. Supporting Thunderbolt 4 is one advantage of the Intel/Nvidia model tested in this review. Moreover, this variant has slightly higher CPU performance as well as better GPU performance in certain applications (e.g. CUDA-based apps). The Lenovo Legion S7i is thin, premium and performant – but less efficient than its AMD counterpart."

"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."
