XENIA 15 GAMING NOTEBOOK

XENIA 15 GAMING NOTEBOOK

XPG notebook battery is strictly tested and has automotive power off protection design. To prolong your battery life, we recommend shut down your notebook when not in use to prevent notebook in long time standby situation, or unplug your AC adapter when your notebook is long-time storage not in use. Please prevent constantly changing your notebook under high voltage and avoid storing your notebook in high temperature and damp conditions.

A new Battery Management BIOS is provided for XPG XENIA 15 to optimize your notebook battery power efficiency. Please visit download page to update. 

In a quiet environment and in specific ambient conditions, a high-pitched sound may occur due to the vibrations and friction of power components on the circuit board. This high-pitched sound is a normal physical phenomenon and does not affect your notebook's safety and performance.

XPG PRIME (beta) is an XPG flavored control center software for XPG XENIA laptops. It allows you to adjust RGB lighting effects of the keyboard and front light bar, tweak power modes (Performance, Standard and Battery Saver, including changing fan profiles for acoustic performance) as well as monitor your hardware usage.
The software also enables an On-Screen-Display for the available shortcuts via Function Keys.
This version is specific for notebooks only, hence the beta marking. It is also a separate development effort from the XPG PRIME ecosystem application that supports other XPG devices.

Software applications and updated firmware are available on XPG XENIA’s official product website in the download area. Drivers are automatically updated via Windows Update as per Windows 10 requirement.

We have enabled recovery functionality by default, which is accessible by pressing F9 during boot when the XPG logo appears. As such, we also partitioned the drive in two logical units, so that you can perform a recovery operation on the C: volume without blowing your data left on the D:.
You can use Disk management tool if you prefer to remove the D: partition and Resize the logical drives. Removing the recovery partition, although not recommended, is also feasible and you can easily find instructions in forums online if you require the extra space.

No, XPG XENIA does not support INTEL XMP, which is not included in Gaming class H family processors.

XPG XENIA provides an approved preset called “Performance mode” that pushes the limit of the laptop by boosting wattage of both GPU and CPU to the limit of the thermal solution, trading off an increase of fan noise and touch temperatures to increase power. This option is available via its dedicated button next to the power button or via XPG Prime software configuration.
While you should have a bit of fun, remember that heavily manipulating voltages for logical parts using third party tools may result in shorter lifespan of your unit and in some cases may even void warranty.
BTW, the Laptop is already slightly undervolted by factory default to improve performance and reduce throttling.

As with the vast majority of Gaming Notebooks, XPG XENIA is designed to maximize performance, therefore it is not recommended to be used directly on your lap. While our touch temperatures are within range of safety, it is still recommended to avoid direct contact and it is suggested to use a base in between instead, especially for longer period or when operating under Performance Mode, as XPG XENIA may get uncomfortably hot. Additionally, consider that air intakes at the bottom of your device should not be blocked at all time, as reducing cooling airflow may push the device to be warmer and even trigger a shut down if not enough fresh air is drawn in to cool the system.

WIFI 6 offers greatly reduced latency (up to 75% reduction) when connecting, and increased gigabit speeds up to ~1700 Mbps when paired with compatible wireless routers that supports 802.11ax and 160Mhz channel bandwidth. Those speeds may vary greatly based on local traffic, your internet provider’s bandwidth and the wireless router itself.

We do try to provide the best possible configuration to future-proof your notebook. However, there is an unpopulated M.2 SSD slot in the unit that can be used to increase storage capacity. You can check the Quick Start Guide provided with the unit for installation instructions. If you add a second drive, you could also decide to implement Raid 0 mode via BIOS setting in the advanced menu, but Raid configurations are more error prone so make sure you have constant backups.
Preinstalled SO-DIMM memory modules can also be replaced as well for future upgrades. BIOS currently could also support 64GB in 2x32Gb configuration if you wish.

Note: Any damages or issues caused during installation or as a result of incompatible parts being used is not covered under warranty and may void the coverage. XPG will not be liable for any damage from or to third-party components that you may install, and cannot guarantee compatibility or performance aside from adhering to industry standards.

We build our own memory modules, starting from cutting wafers and all the way through packaging and board mounting. For XPG Xenia we handpicked only the best parts of wafers to put in your notebook.

All Xenia laptops are pre-activated at the factory during production. There is a known Microsoft issue that has been resolved when running by updating to the latest Cunulative Update via Windows Update function from Control Panel. 

According to the definition of Power Delivery, the output of Type-C must be 10-100W. Notebooks with Thunderbolt 3 or higher specifications can support 5V/3A PD charging.

 For detailed information about upgrading to Windows 11, please visit the Microsoft Website.
