Feb 12, 2021 ·  The XPG Xenia Xe from Adata is the first 15-inch laptop with an 11th Gen Intel CPU we’ve tested. It’s a decent Intel-built unit with new tech like Thunderbolt 4, a 4th generation PCIe SSD and a... 

XPG has had several successful collaborations with Intel, the first with the XPG XENIA Gaming Notebook that we reviewed last yearand the Gaia Mini PC built on the NUC 9 platform from a few generations back. The most recent collaboration with Intel gives us the XPG XENIA Xe, a product born from the Intel NUC M15 white book platform that provides vendors with an EVO-certified base platform from which they can upgrade or configure to fit into their destined market. XPG has done this by tweaking the base NUC M15 Laptop and adding a Gen4 NVMe solution in the Gammix S50 or S50 Lite. 

With the ongoing advance of AMD into the laptop processor space, and the loss of Apple's processor contracts, we’re not overly surprised that Intel is keen to start building some more of its own devices. The XPG Xenia Xe is the second 15-inch NUC to come from the blue team, but considering the processor manufacturer isn’t on top of its game in other areas of business, is it stretched too thin to make a successful laptop? If you’re keen on battery life, bigger screens and the fastest storage around then the XPG Xenia Xe should be up the top of your shortlist for sure. Lasting around 13 hours in 1080p movie playback, it’s one of the longer-lasting professional ultrabooks we’ve tested. It’s also one of the first 15-inch Full HD laptops to get an 11th generation Intel Processor. Both available models get a generous 1TB allocation of PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage that’ll read and write between 4,000 and 5,000MB/s. At around 1,000MB/s faster than any laptop storage we've seen before, it's a cons... 

Jul 20, 2021 ·  ADATA came to the rescue for me in this regard with their latest XPG XENIA 14. This ultrabook is quite capable and offers exactly the same performance when you are on the bus as it does at your desk. Equipped with the Intel Core i7-1165G7 CPU, it has enough computational heft for your daily needs, and thanks to the 96 EUs of the Intel Iris Xe onboard GPU, it is capable of some modest gaming too.
