The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, with its larger OLED touch screen, would be enjoyable for media consumption and could offer a superior visual experience, but it's less portable than the lighter XPG Xenia 14. If portability and newer software matter to you, the Xenia 14 runs Windows 10 and is more travel-friendly. For performance, the Galaxy Book3's newer processor may handle tasks more smoothly than the Xenia's older generation. Both have the same storage and memory, and while each is adaptable with a variety of ports, the Xenia offers slightly more due to an additional USB-C port. Give Feedback

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 is good for engineering and design, while the XPG Xenia 14 is only fair.
The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 with its 2-in-1 convertible design, OLED touchscreen, and high screen color coverage is suitable for engineers and designers who need a versatile display with vibrant colors for intricate work, but prefer a larger screen size. Meanwhile, the XPG Xenia 14, being lighter with a higher portability score and offering good performance with a high-contrast IPS screen, serves well for similar tasks but in a more mobile form factor, with slight compromises in screen size and display types when compared to the Samsung.

The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 has a better screen than the XPG Xenia 14 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The Samsung Galaxy Book3 360, with its superior brightness and high resolution, provides a clear and vivid display that's beneficial for everyday tasks and detailed engineering work, whereas its lower refresh rate may result in less fluid visuals during fast-paced gaming or 3D rendering. The XPG Xenia 14 offers good clarity and resolution which suits general use and detail-focused tasks like design, but similar to the Galaxy Book3 360, its refresh rate isn't optimized for the demands of gaming or high-end 3D tasks. Both laptops have good color coverage essential for precision in engineering and design, but gamers and 3D professionals might find the lower refresh rate a limiting factor for their use case.

How the Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 and the XPG Xenia 14 compare to other laptops
"The Samsung Galaxy Book 3 360 isn’t a laptop that the Korean manufacturer has shouted from the rooftops about, and it seems to have gotten little attention from anywhere. But, it is absolutely a laptop worth paying attention to. Compared to higher-priced devices, like the Dell XPS 13 (2022) and Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED (2023), it manages to offer a similar day-to-day experience despite the price difference. It’s really hard to justify the extra cash unless a boosted display is a requirement of yours."
"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."
