I am glad to see Intel FINALLY move from the "more cores" era, into power and efficiency! The only issue with Snapdragon is drivers and some software applications just do not work, hopefully this will improve.
Yeah, I wanted to go with a Snapdragon laptop, but being a student in the scientific field I could not risk finding myself stuck with a machine that can't run some specific software that I might need down the line. And I honestly don't even know how long it will take for some softwares to run reliably on ARM
If Dell had a standard keyboard with a function row and a clear split where the touchpad ends, they’d have a killer laptop all around. I’ve been testing the XPS 13 with a Core Ultra 7, but as you said, this is all subjective-each to their own.
@@cameronbosch1213 Absolutely. I'm about to return my XPS for a Surface Laptop 7. Dell’s issues have simple solutions, but I’m hoping the 2025 models will address most of these problems. Typing on the lattice keyboard has been frustrating.
Lunar Lake for me. I don't need the extreme CPU multi-core performance. I do need full x86 software compatibility. However, I prefer them in the Dell Latitude or Lenovo X1 Carbon laptops.
When it comes to this laptop, I have WAY too many complaints about it to recommend it: 1. The touchpad is not only borderless, so if you're visually impaired, do NOT buy this laptop (I mean, would making it light up really hurt), but the click is among the worst I've ever felt. It feels mushy yet shallow, and far behind Apple's implemention _in 2015!_ 2. The not touch bar nonsense needs to stop. Dell needs to just give up on this because it's clearly hurting this laptop for programmers or anybody using control alt delete regularly. 3. The port selection makes the MacBook Air M2/M3 look generous. Like, what the heck!? 4. The price is too freaking high for what you're getting, sacrifices included. I'd look at the Asus Zenbook S14 over this one, also with Lunar Lake. Overall, Dell lost the plot with the XPS laptops in 2024 and they still haven't learned their lesson here.
I am looking forward to watching Andrew's review, I have been waiting an age for it. Here is why its probably the worlds number 1 x86 laptop: a) near un-matched support reach (asus dont come close, apple, samsung do) b) class leading matte screen options c) the smallest possible form-factor d) faceID. On these four aspects the XPS13 is even better than the Macbook Pro 14 M3. I really like some of the laptops Andrew has had in but there is always something wrong with them, on the above 4 measurements.

I have the XPS 13 9315 and love it, but it's battery is horrible. It's a little better lately with bios updates, but still not good. My concern with this new "plus" model is the keyboard/trackpad. Any chance you might do a video comparing the "plus" and non plus keyboards/trackpads? Not sure if it's worth it's own video. I just love the small laptop but want good battery. Ideally I'd prefer AMD.
The white tone of the Displays compared side-by-side at 8:08 is very different, but you didn't mention that. Since both displays have the same color accuracy of 1.03 Delta-E, but the white tones are so completely different: which technical spec gives information about how white a white screen really is?
I was hoping that the tandem OLED would be brighter - as bright as a mini-LED like on the Apple iPad, which also has a Tandem OLED. I wonder why it is dim. I'm not a fan of the keys as touch. It's challenging to use.
While I love the design of the 2024 Dell XPS 13, the real dealbreaker for me is the lack of available ports on the unit, otherwise, it is a real beauty! Thank you once again Andrew for your detailed review!! 👍😁
I’m a bit lost which one is most powerful but also is cool regarding heat and fan noise between XPS Lunar Lake or Asus zenbook S 14. Please help. I’m going to use it for data analysis purposes.

Nice comparison video. Personably If I were purchasing one of these I would not buy the snapdragon unit under any circumstances because of compatability issues with some applications. Potential users will at some point encounter this and will probably get frustrated after spending their hard earned money on the snapdragon. These are nice looking units. The only other negative is the poor selection of ports. It is great that users have many types of pc's to choose from. Your reviews give potential purchasers the ability to make an intelligent choice. Great review.
Nice comparison, thank you. Intel did a good job, but it feels like ARM is still the future. Intel closed most of the gap but it is still a bit behind in compute power in native applications. Intel's strong point is GPU and app compatibility. I hope Qualcomm keeps improving Snapdragon for PCs.
The Adreno in the X Elite is actually pretty similar to the 140V if you look at pure compute power, so no, not 2 generations behind, the drivers, however... Qualcom still has some work to do.
Hopefully this means we get to stop hearing stuff like "x86 bad" from Apple centric tech enthusiasts who have zero understanding of what CPU architecture is and how they differ in the real world.
I know more about CPU architecture than you will ever And there s nothing you can do about ARM64 v9.2a being by far the most powerful and efficient ISA. Mostly fixed instruction lengths setup Arm64 has better pipelining, faster more efficient decoding process and breaking instructions into micro ops So less transistors occupied less power draw More predictable branch-prediction due to more predictable instruction set Thus less pipeline stalls and higher throughput. It is a load store architecture meaning only load store instructions access memory So much more efficient and effective memory access patterns. Thus more tile space for registers and so faster execution than x86. And still pulling a lot less power. And arm64 V9.2a just got buffed up with SVE2 and SME2 SO SAY GOODBYE TO CRAPPY SLOW X86 💩💩cause it just got deleted from the planet with APPLE M4👑
actually, we would just need a list with important benchmarks, compared most common CPU's (just a few samples from each brand, one low/med/high end model would be almost enough) - BUT - this is the important part, not just raw power, but compared to power/heat consumption. it is of course nice to have an core ultra 9 285k on desktop with good cooling, but on the mobile side, you need just to know the real power which can be hold over a longer time, and in relation with heating/fan noise. And maybe an additional column in comparison if on battery or not (e.g. at apple you wont last any performance on battery, and even with long battery life) - needs to be made way more practical but all those theoretical benchmark themselves are just somewhat of marketing I would say
Snapdragon and the camera + mic is excellent which most people ignore. For those who still think of software compatibility, for most usage almost everything 90% has native app support. Remaining 10% runs on emulation. Except for graphics performance everything is great with Snapdragon X elite laptops. In my case I do cloud gaming, so that was a no brainier for me. Ofcourse M4 macbook releases probably tomorrow, so who knows where we might be next year. But my bet on Qualcomm for next gen X elite 2 for sure. X86 will be in limbo next year likely with so may trying to buy Intel now 😊
Only two major issues I've found running the X-elite is a) Most corporate VPNs have no support and emulation doesn't work b) network printers are a NIGHTMARE, more so if they're older, more so if they're running corporate print credit platforms like Safecom etc. People seriously underestimate how crippling that is for office work. Other than that it has been a lovely machine.
@andrewmarcdavid oh ok thanks thinking about it before Black Friday. You should consider doing a Black Friday. Consideration video for a new laptop or a computer.
I bought the XPS 258V with the 2k IPS panel as successor to my XPS 9310. I love the new keyboard (it is not completely flat as most reviews say. It is very, very comfortable to type on, much better than the Apple keyboard), I don't mind the touch buttons (even though I am a programmer) but...I am having massive issues with the touchpad. Everytime I lift the finger to tap, the mouse jumps like 10 pixels. Hitting a link is like a lottery. Also when taping with one finger to "hold down" to e.g. select files with another finger, the push releases automatically after a few seconds. I never had that issue on my Macbook Air M1 with a haptic touchpad. Does anyone know if that is just how the touchpad works on the XPS 13? It feels like a touchpad of 2010... Also if the fans spin on*, the left fan makes a high whistling noise. It is very, very annoying therefore I will return the device. But as I like the device overall a lot, I am wondering if the issue with the touchpad is unique to my device or common. If it is common, I will fully return it. If not, I will ask for a replacement. *they rarely do it which is a huuuuge improvement over former processors...
So after using it a couple of days. - The touchpad is very, very strange and annoying. Just not precise, clicks if you don't want to, does not click if you want to, jumps around. The spacebar rattles if the haptic motors jump in. - I still don't mind the function rows (even while programming). The benefit is that you see if it is in F-keys or function keys - The fans never really switch on at daily tasks. It is very quiet. The device stays cool - If the fans go on (e.g. compiling larger things), they start hardly noticable then get louder but turn off again when the task is done - The keyboard is still the best I've ever used (I am using HP Dragonfly, Thinkpad X1 and a Macbook Air M1 in parallel) - The battery is...not so good. It is more like 6h (with the 2k IPS touch screen on low brightness) which is a real bummer :(
@@venividivici4253 hm...that's interesting. The workflow is not so intense to be honest. It is mainly sitting around. May I ask which display option you have? The 1080p? 2k IPS? Or OLED?
Dell was the one laptop brand I never had any issues with, until I bought one of their laptops with an AMD CPU. So Dell and Intel is the power couple in my eyes. Maybe one day I'll try Dell with Qualcomm if Windows on ARM becomes the norm.
I only remember it was an Inspiron, which is their budget line, but still I've had them with Intels before and no issues. The biggest issue in the AMD was that the trackpad kept malfunctioning making the laptop almost unusable. I scanned for viruses and malware, did a factory reset and everything but nothing worked. I looked online to see if anyone else had this issue and yes it seemed to be an AMD specific issue.
@@nubiamorton1095 at the same time all previous top of the line dell xps had massive trackpad issues with intel cpus. Processor has nothing to do with trackpad. All diving board mechanism touchpads are trash.
@@mmadevgame I don't think so. I also got the blue :( screen from time to time, which before would usually only happen on really old computers. Either way it's obvious Intel is the superior chip designer, because AMD was already working with TSMC, yet they were never able to achieve what Intel did with Lunar Lake, their very first project with TSMC, achieved efficiency on par with ARM processors. The only thing that was holding Intel back before was their manufacturing process, but now since their open to letting TSMC help with that they're back on top.
Bro what is Dell high on lmao I don't think there's any other laptop than an XPS [save for some ASUS Zenbook] that has so many SoC like what? Intel 12th Gen, Intel 13th Gen, Qualcomm's X Elite, X Plus, now Intel's 14th Gen [all within less than 2 years apart]
Great review, thank you! There was a QHD+ IPS 120 hz screen option with Snapdragon previously, now it is available only for Lunar lake II XPS 13. I think this display would be interesting for users who need higher resolution than FHD+ and require 120 hz. I could not find a review so far neither with Snapdragon nor Lunar Lake II XPS13 equipped with this screen option.
