XPG has given us a glimpse at the new hardware it intends to launch during CES 2021 next week. Besides PC components and new software, one of XPG’s main highlights will be an Intel Xe powered gaming ultrabook.
The XPG Xenia Xe is a gaming ultrabook designed in collaboration with Intel, featuring a 15.6-inch IPS panel with a FullHD resolution and an 87% screen-body ratio. Equipped with an XPG 1TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD and either an Intel 11th Gen Core i5-1135G7 or i7-1165G7 processor with Iris Xe Graphics, the Xenia Xe has a maximum battery life of 16 hours. The “premium and elegant CNC anodized aluminium chassis” gives the laptop a modern and minimalistic design, measuring 11mm at its thinnest and weighing 1.65Kg.
Adata sent us a stack of new XPG parts to try out, including a brand new mid-tower case, fast memory, a PCIe Gen4 M.2 SSD plus a huge pile of RGB goodies. The best way to show off these parts in all their glory is to build a high-end gaming system inside this new XPG Defender Pro case, and that is exactly what we did using a Ryzen 9 5900X and a Gigabyte RTX 3080 Eagle, check out the video for an RGB explosion!

Don’t believe us? Read on to see a few of the many adventure hats a side-by-side can wear.
The Ultimate Access Vehicle
If you’re a mountain biker, rock climber, or hunter, you know a thing or two about slogging up endless dirt roads to get to the goods. Enter the Can-Am Defender MAX: with seating for six people, four-wheel drive, and tons of ground clearance, the last leg into the backcountry is a whole lot faster, easier, and more enjoyable.
