List<Device> devices = new List<Device>(loaded.Descendants("Device")
                                             .Select(e =>
                                               new Device(e.Element("username").Value,
                                                          e.Element("AgentName").Value,
                                                          e.Element("password").Value,
                                                          e.Element("domain").Value
                                                         )));

You could do this:

var devices =
    loaded
        .Descendants("Device")
        .Select(e => new Device(
            e.Element("username").Value,
            e.Element("AgentName").Value,
            e.Element("password").Value,
            e.Element("domain").Value))
        .ToList();
