That variety makes choosing between versions a bit of a challenge. The MacBook Pro 14, on the other hand, equips Apple’s latest M1 CPUs, the M1 Pro with either 8 CPU cores and 14 GPU cores or 10 CPU cores and 16 GPU cores and the M1 Max with 10 CPU cores and either 24 or 32 GPU cores. That makes the XPS 13 a solid performer for productivity work but underpowered for creators. You can choose from the 2-core/4-thread Core i3-1115G4 with Intel UHD graphics up to the 4-core/8-thread Core i7-1195G7 with Intel Iris Xe graphics. The XPS 13 uses 11th-gen Intel U-series CPUs that are popular in thin and light Windows machines.

Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 or 5.0 provide wireless duties.

Both will require dongles for USB-A devices, but the MacBook Pro 14 still has a better set of connectivity.

The XPS 13 is all-in on USB-C with Thunderbolt 4, offering two of the ports and a microSD card reader. The MacBook Pro 14 has three USB-C with Thunderbolt 4 ports, a full-size HDMI 2.0 connection, and a full-size SD card reader. Again, though, both are small enough to carry around easily, and they both feel great in hand.Īpple took a positive step backward with its latest MacBooks, making them slightly thicker to fit in more connectivity. The Dell comes in at 0.58 inches thick and 2.8 pounds compared to the Apple’s 0.61 inches and 3.5 pounds. The XPS 13 is smaller and thinner, thanks in part to its 13.3-inch 16:10 display compared to the MacBook Pro 14’s 14.2-inch 16:10 display. It’s a bit boxier and not as streamlined, and it comes in just the one dark silver color, but that’s quibbling. In terms of their aesthetic, the XPS 13 is the more extravagant design thanks to its choice between black and white interiors, but the MacBook Pro 14 has its own understated elegance. The MacBook Pro 14 is made entirely from machined aluminum, and the only real difference is that the XPS 13’s palm rest is warmer and more comfortable than the MacBook Pro 14’s colder metal. The XPS 13 uses machined aluminum in the lid and chassis and carbon fiber in the keyboard deck (in the black version) or glass fiber (in the white version). Neither has any bending, flexing, or twisting in the lid, keyboard deck, or bottom chassis, and you’ll find little to distinguish them in terms of their physical design.
