I have a tongfang chassic motile and i dropped it from 1 foot onto a hard tile floor and one of the corner cracked and broke off. I was able to superglue it back. But my point is that the magnesium composite chassic of these tongfang laptops are a bit liable to shatter instead of just being deeply dented or bented as compared to more traditional aluminum metal type chassic.
The xenia is however, still a very good laptop though. It has two usb-c with DP and PD, one more than the enduro. Xenia also have two nvme slots while the enduro only has one. xenia also has a slight bigger 16:10 1200p screen. However, the xenia is more expensive by $130.
Both has HDMI 2.0 and two sodimms as well as a separate power connector so you don't have to use a dock while using the usb-c for video. Both has backlit keyboards
If you want a 14in notebook with usb-c with DP and PD, HDMI 2.0, and 2 sodimm, backlit keys, I think the enduro is probably the cheapest option right now.. But the xenia is also a good option if you want lighter weight with a bit more stuffs
If you are ok with getting a 15in laptop, you have the option of HP pavilion which also have usb-c with DP and PD, HDMI 2.0, two sodimm, and backlit keys, 1080p screen with 5500u cpu for $480:

However, since they had to keep the weight low, there's a little flex to the keyboard (only if you press in the center too hard) and wobble to the screen when you're using it while traveling.
Nothing too bothersome, but something the buyer should be aware of.

Most kids playing Minecraft throw a bunch of mods at it and it sucks up an incredible amount of resources. Outside of the 16gb ram there's nothing about this laptop that would be ideal for him. It's lightweight and probably a little more prone take a hit from abuse. This is more for the person who really takes their laptop on the go alot and where a few lbs matters.
A good (non "Mobile") processor with a decent graphics card (3050+) and 16gb would be ideal for what he does now. Minecraft uses processor a good bit. Plus it would serve him going forward. Totally doable in this price range.
Is the listing up on eBay?

You will need an eGPU, you can buy a Razer or a Lenovo external enclosure for GPU thunderbolt 3 or 4.
There are definitely some good cheaper options too (that way you can save some money) for example, this great deal which has a faster RAM but inferior screen: https://slickdeals.net/f/15796198-msi-prestige-14-evo-14-fhd-ips-i5-1155g7-16gb-lpddr4x-512gb-pcie-ssd-thunderbolt-4-win10h-549-f-s?src=catpagev2
But, if you want a premium all-rounder laptop at a mid-range price then this is it.
