The Lenovo V15 is a more budget-friendly choice, and if you’re looking to save money, it might be the right pick. It will get basic tasks done, but its lower price reflects more modest hardware and performance capabilities. The display quality and build might also be less impressive compared to pricier options. On the other hand, the XPG Xenia 14 costs more but offers better performance, which could be essential for more demanding applications such as video editing or gaming. It's also lighter and more portable with a higher quality display, which might be a significant factor if you're often on the go or need superior visuals. The better battery life on the XPG Xenia makes it more suitable for long sessions away from a power source. Choose the Lenovo V15 for general use and to save money, or invest in the XPG Xenia for higher performance, better portability, and an overall superior build and screen quality. Give Feedback

The Lenovo V15 may have a lower resolution and dimmer display, making it less suitable for tasks that require clarity and vibrancy, such as browsing and video streaming. For engineering and design, the screen might not cover a wide range of colors, rendering it less precise for color-critical work.

The XPG Xenia 14 and Lenovo V15 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Lenovo V15 is fair for gaming and 3D owing to its AMD Ryzen 5 5500U integrated Vega 7 GPU, which is adequate but not top of the line for demanding tasks, and its standard 60Hz screen refresh rate on a TN panel which doesn't offer the best color or viewing angles.

"The strengths of the Lenovo V15 G2 AMD lie in its expandability of the RAM and allowing you to use two SSDs, in its performance that goes beyond everyday applications thanks to AMD's hexa-core CPU and Vega-7 iGPU, in its good keyboard, and its relatively robust case. In addition, the battery life of the office laptop is also acceptable, and the device stays cool and relatively quiet."

"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."
