Pick the EQ14 if you care most about tdp and volume. The biggest gaps in its favor are tdp, volume.
Pick the A8 if you push the hardware — gaming, on-device AI, heavy multitasking — and the extra compute headroom is worth the trade-offs. Its strongest claims are storage, ram.
Both ship with comparable thunderbolt, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
