The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 offers an OLED touchscreen with high color accuracy, making it ideal for tasks that demand vibrant visuals, but its general, 3D, and engineering performance are moderate. It's lightweight and has decent battery life, suited for on-the-go use. Conversely, the XPG Xenia 14, while not offering a touchscreen, has a slightly larger IPS display with a higher aspect ratio for more vertical workspace, and improved portability due to longer battery life and lower weight. Its performance metrics are similar to the Samsung, with marginally better heat management but slightly less vibrant screen colors. Both are similarly priced and designed more for general use and less for intensive gaming or specialized engineering work. Give Feedback

The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 and XPG Xenia 14 are both good for general use.
The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 is favored for general use because of its OLED screen with high color accuracy and good battery life, while its portability is boosted by a relatively low weight and 2-in-1 convertible design. The XPG Xenia 14 also suits general use with a slightly better processor and promising battery life, and it offers a more traditional laptop layout with high keyboard quality, but it has an IPS display which does not offer the same vividness or contrast as the OLED in the Samsung.

The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 and XPG Xenia 14 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 and the XPG Xenia 14 are both deemed fair for gaming and 3D due to their use of integrated Intel GPUs, which can handle less intensive games and 3D tasks but lack the power of dedicated gaming GPUs which are very important for higher performance. Additionally, both have 60Hz screen refresh rates which are standard for productivity but not optimal for fast-paced gaming where higher refresh rates are important; however, their CPUs and screen quality, being somewhat important, are adequate for fair performance in gaming and 3D applications.

"Samsung gets all the basics right with the Book2 360. Its convertible design works well in both laptop and tablet modes, yet still manages to be highly portable, with impressive battery life and eye-catching AMOLED display. The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 measures just 12.9mm thick and weighs 1.16kg, making it one of the most affordable ultra-portables currently available. It’s sturdily built too, so it can cope with life on the road."

"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."
