If you prioritize portability and battery life, the LG Ultra 13 is slightly lighter and offers similar battery longevity compared to the XPG Xenia 14. The LG's display is smaller and its resolution is lower, which might be less ideal for detailed work but it boasts better color coverage, important if you work with visual media. The XPG has a slightly larger screen with a higher resolution that's more suitable for productivity due to its 16:10 aspect ratio, and it provides more storage out of the box. Performance-wise, both have similar capabilities for general use, but for intensive tasks like 3D rendering, machine learning, or engineering, neither is particularly powerful. Both laptops lack dedicated graphics for gaming, but their built-in graphics can handle less demanding games. The XPG's keyboard is rated slightly higher in quality, which could be important if you type a lot. Give Feedback

CNET

Joshua Goldman | April 2017
"The 13.3-inch LG Gram is a fine fit if you need to travel as light as possible for as long as possible without spending a fortune to do it. It might not be particularly sturdy or have an eye-catching design and its webcam is less than ideal, but with its sharp touch display, comfortable backlit keyboard, responsive touchpad and a fingerprint reader for extra security, the Gram makes a respectible everyday laptop for business or school work."

Allen Ngo | July 2021
"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."
