**The correct score should be 7 to 5 not 8 to 5 in favor of Dell. I mistakenly gave a check to Dell for price when it should clearly go to HP only in the price/value category.**
the substantial price difference between the two, and the versatility of having a 2-in-1, I bought the HP spectre x360 and dont regret it at all. Dell XPS does have amazing bezel and screen, but its difficult for me to justify that additional cost, with both having intel gen 10th processors. You can't go wrong with both choices.
Why do I feel 13 inch spectre is too small...but 15 too big. They should have a 14 inch and release it worldwide. Other than that the spectre is perfect and it is my dream laptop if I make it to a good college :D
I agree...the subtle "blingy-ness," gem cut design, ports, OLED screen and keyboard pushes HP to the overall win for me - it just seems to have a bit more style/flash in the sea of space grays/blacks and a myriad of understated/minimalist designs. Granted the Dell 9300 is scheduled to arrive late next week, so I'll see if my opinion changes. Typing is important for me, so the keyboard layout, key travel, and overall "feel" is a major factor along with the screen (for me).
Thank you for pointing out the function of the bottom bezel on the HP Spectre!! So many people want it gone and it serves a complete purpose. Both helps when holding it as a tablet in the air and also elevates the screen by a few inches to mildly relieve neck pains. It may not be 16:10 but thanks to that it's not as short when compared to the XPS.
My wife has the XPS13, I have the spectre x360. The XPS is nice, but for my type of work the Spectre is so much more versatile, and that battery really last longer. The gem cut design also puts me away from the boring clamshell design imo.
This is an excellent comment - exactly what someone is looking for if they're considering both. I think at the end of the day, I'd miss being able to read digital comics on a 2-1 AMOLED display, so I'll give the Spectre a spin (the 2-1 XPS is too much of a jump in price). Thanks for the input! Edit: I just found out I can get the XPS 2-1 HDR for $500 more than the HP - any opinion on which I should go with?
I went with the HP and love it. I think they are both pretty evenly matched, but with the 2 in 1 configurations I can’t see how you give the win to Dell. The sound test was a joke as I could tell the volume levels were not the same. I had the previous Del XPS and it was Without a doubt an awesome machine; but having had both, I would also without a doubt call it a tie all around, with the win coming down to personal preference regarding the 2 in 1 capability.
THANKS for correctly speaking the aspect ratios by saying 16 TO 10 and 16 TO 9. Way too many people keep incorrectly saying 16 BY 10 and 16 BY 9 and nobody is correcting them ! It drives me nuts, like nails being dragged across a chalkboard. Thanks for getting it right. Very refreshing.
I have the XPS & I am still impressed by it. The only issue I had was the mic on the webcam. Dell had to walk me through configurations so it can be correct.
I know this is nitpicking but if HP can reduce those bottom bezel, it'll be more symmetric and many would buy. That's the only thing holding me right now from buying the Spectre!
personally i think the hp spectre is better bang for the buck and you can get the 4k oled display option for around $1600 which isn't that expensive considering you don't get 4k in the xps for $1600.
Great video, thanks. Returned my Microsoft surface laptop 3($2000) i7 16GB 512ssd. It’s great laptop and felt very thin and premium especially the cobalt blue finish. Battery life and lack of SD slot made me want to try the Dell XPS 13. So I will try that and see if I keep it. Thanks
Congratulations for a very thorough - high quality - and useful video. In a nutshell about these 2 excellent laptops, i am very conscious of value for the price, and although i love the Dells design, i cannot let pass that for the same price as the gorgeous XPS one can get a Spectre x360 plus a new iPhone SE2 or a Pixel 4a. That is too much of a difference for me!
You look and sound like a person that deserves the title "sir". I do follow and respect your incredible, sincere and honest efforts in your work. Thank you.
Thanks for the lovely review, Andrew. Both are awesome laptops, but I'm so smitten by the convertible design. I almost got the last gen XPS clamshell, but I just couldn't get over the tablet mode. I'm really looking forward to yet another showdown of the convertibles towards the end of the year, when hopefully all of them have been refreshed. Keep up the good work 👍🏾. If you're right that the XPS 15 may no longer have a convertible option, then that will be really sad. If Dell would have put a numpad in that unit, I'd have jumped on it, coz I love the way they upscale performance, even though it may be at the relative expense of battery life and thermal optimization
The Dell XPS 15 2 in 1 9575 is horrible. I had so many idle overheating issues with it and the keyboard is a mess, not to mention it's the only current Dell XPS Laptop to still have a nose cam and it has only a 4 core H option, rather than the 6 core option you'll probably get on current laptops. Do not get it!
Is the keyboard wider on the Dell (vs the HP)? I saw the Dell in a Micro Center before the tp apocalypse and it was as wide as the keyboard on the Dell 15" 7590 which was right next to it in the store.
Hello Andrew, don't you think the convertibility of the spectre x360 could potentially pose a liability due to the possible wear and tear due to continuous switch between laptop and tablet function. What do you think?
Great side-by-side, point-by-point comparison, Andrew. Well done! However, IMHO, the _slight_ advantages of Dell over the HP do _not_ merit the Dell's 26% price premium. A laptop is a tool - not an ornament. It's one thing to spend extra to spruce up one's ride - another thing to spruce up one's tools.
As a student who's looking for a laptop primarily to write notes, I really like the hp spectre since it's a 2 in 1, but 13 in is too small and 15 in is too big. I wish there was a 14in option. Unfortunately I haven't found any 14in laptops that wow me as much as the spectre so I might end up going with the 15in anyway.
@@jferguson2372 For the UK it has been mentioned to be around 26th May 2020 due to Lockdown etc. I'm waiting for it also as it has very very thin bezels (No chin either) and much improved performance/hardware. Hope this helps. Also "Windows central" TH-cam channel shows you the difference at tech show.
Thank you for your immensely useful video. Could you please comment how well the OLED screen option for the HP Spectre compares to the 500 nits on the Dell XPS 13 4K UHD? Thank you.

Andrew Marc David I’m thinking of buying HP Spectre x360 Poseidon Blue due to the design. Do you think I wouldn’t regret? Wouldn’t it be a dumb choice?
I went with the hp Spectre with 4K OLED. My only complaints are it maxs at 16GB and it's the constant fan at 100% due to its thermal characteristics. It seems the Dell carries the same thermal issues, though.
The SSD on HPspectre is user replacable. That gives it a extra point. Also u gave both laptops a tick in price to value category. So it is actually a 7-6 score Nd not 8-5. The dell may be marginally better in the categories it scores, but because of the versatility of 2 in 1, better ports (usb a) and a substantial price difference, the HP is a clear winner in my opinion
I'm not sure why you are comparing the hp spectre x360 with the Dell XPS 13, and not the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1. Seems like your comparing apples and oranges here.
Personally I would opt for the HP, it woukd however be good to see a review for the 15inch versions of both, preferably 2020 options, as I find 13inch screens and footprint too cramped.
I would love an XPS with a 4800u. I currently own a 10th gen Intel laptop, and I just need ... more. Lightroom makes my laptop cry and the iGPU drivers have so many issues - I have a dance that I have to do to get full resolution on my monitor... whereas my wife's old 2500u laptop, works flawlessly. Give me an XPS with proper 7nm power and I'd be ALL over it.

Hey Andy, Any news on the European release date for the top end spec for DELL XPS 9300 with 32GB RAM??? It’s already available in the US!!! Not sure about DELL’s country holdups!
@@kalijasin Most people are looking for the introduction of Ryzen 4000 because it would (theoretically) solve the issues the XPS currently has with its temps. It would allow for better performance of the CPU and would hopefully keep the laptop from getting too hot.
HP x360 for me is the one will go for if I have to choose between these two. Yet I think Microsoft Surface pro is a better option for pen support & mobility will be great if we have a review for it
You can now get them for about the same i5 processor, 8gb, 256 ssd for $1,050. I dont need the OLED screen or any of that, so the fact that they are the same price, leads me to go HP due to the tablet option and added bonus of a usb-a. Great review though
I keep looking for the best laptop with Verizon LTE. < my work locations don't allow external hotspots, the LTE has to be built-in to the laptop for security reasons>. Seems like this HP only does ATT/Tmobile. In most of my work areas ATT doesn't seem to penetrate buildings well. (That is relative to MY areas, not necessarily yours.) Possibly HP has another option for Verizon but I have not found it. Plus I find this device too gaudy. I much prefer the look of the Dell. So far I am still using full time the Verizon Samsung Book S, but it has some limitations with the lack of Intel CPU software support by the app writers. Anyway from HP's website for this device " HP Spectre x360 13 can connect to ATT & T-Mobile. Verizon & Sprint not available. 4G Module on select models and designed for up to 1 Gbps download speeds (CAT16 LTE with 4x4 antenna configurations). "
Everyone has there own opinion. In my opinion the HP is the clear winner here. Many of your points were borderline and could have gone the other way given someone else making the comparison. The Dell did not clearly win enough points to justify the additional cost.
WHY I COME TO ANDREW FOR REVIEWS AND COMPARISONS? HONESTY. HE CAN AND WILL TELL YOU IF ONE COMPUTER OR ITEM IS BETTER THEN THE ONE HE HAS IF HE HAS ONE OF THE ITEMS BEING REVIEWED. MANY PEOE CAN'T OR WONT DO THIS BECAUSE THEY FEEL THAT THEIR ADMITTING THEY MADE A MISTAKE OR THEY JUST DONT WANT TOCOWN THE INFERIOR PRODUCT. BE HONEST AND PEOPLE WILL FOLLOW YOU. THATS WHY I ALWAYS COME HERE.
I will be a college freshman in several month. Iam planning to. Buy a new laptop after this pandemic. Do you guys think i should get the hp spectre or the dell xps? Iam not a gamer anymore, so I will spend most of my time i laptop coding , doing task from uni, using internet and so on. I am really helped a lot for the objective recommendation :-)
It depends. do you want a 2 in 1 or connect a lot of peripherals? Then get the HP Spectre X360. I would rather get the Spectre due to those reasons, but they're both good.
I love your reviews but this one not so much for the following reasons. You really seemed Dell XPS biased and may need a different type of scoring system. For example in categories that were close but the edge barely went to one or the other they got a 1 but in a category where it wasn't even close the winner still got only 1. For instance look at price and see a $400 difference for the same specs and so HP gets 1 point and again with a 2 hour edge in battery life HP only gets 1 point. Then with the keyboard you like the Dell better but said it was close so Dell gets a point. But there is no way that the difference in the Dell keyboard is equal to the difference of the $400 or the difference of the extra 2 hours the HP gives you in battery life over the Dell. Please consider more of a 1-10 scale for 10 categories when grading laptops so you can score them on a range up to 100. This is just my opinion but I think then you will truly have a good ranking system in place since you test so many laptops. And your rankings would be based by category so you would have some AMD laptops score in the high 90s that might cost $900 while having some I7 laptops that score in the mid 80s and cost $1,300. It doesn't mean the AMD is better it only means the AMD is better in it's class! Sorry for the rant.
I completely agree! I do appreciate the time and effort that’s been put into the review but I do think the scoring system needs an overhaul. I currently own an XPS and have just bought the Spectre. At the end of day the cost is where the rubber hits the road and while I don’t disagree with most of the review you have to seriously provide a lot of weighting for “bang for buck”. There’s no way I could justify paying an extra £300 just for a 16:10 screen that the XPS had. Also this is possibly the only review where someone has preferred the XPS keyboard to the Spectre - although most of the reviews compare the Spectre to the XPS 2-in-1 which is what I thought should’ve been a more appropriate comparison.
Never ever buy any laptop from Dell. The quality control is very poor and cheap parts are used. Batteries can swell up and damage the laptop and Dell do not think this is an issue. It is a very big concern. The company is awful now. NEVER EVER BUY DELL GARBAGE.
I hear you, I don't like their Dell XPS 15 2 in 1; it was a nightmare to use and it thermal throttled ON IDLE! Never have I seen a worse laptop from Dell with the exception of the XPS 13 2 in 1 7390.
The HP Spectre x360 FHD 1W can get up to an average of 420 nits when reconfigured in the Intel Graphics Control Panel under Power settings. Make sure Display Power Saving Technology is turned off in this section.
@@andrewmarcdavid My pleasure! This was featured in the Notebook Check review for the HP Spectre x360. The peak brightness without the Display Power Saving setting is 447 nits in their review.
You should also consider how bad Dell's QC is, already came out reviewers from TH-cam got good ones on purpose so they can get praised but it reality everyone who bought from Dell xps 13 to 17 are getting very bad laptops with so many defects, even go on reddit and you will see. I already know someone going through there 3rd replacement from Dell because of so many defects. And top it off, there customer service is the worst in the market, people please be aware of the dangers of getting a Dell, reviewers call it "Apple Killer" for the Macbook Pro, but in reality it isn't.
**The correct score should be 7 to 5 not 8 to 5 in favor of Dell. I mistakenly gave a check to Dell for price when it should clearly go to HP only in the price/value category.**
The audio of hp sounds much better...
I think you were a bit harsh on the Spectre.
Yea you were a bit harsh on the spectre...
So... Then it would be 7 to 6 actually. Because the point that originally sent to XPS would go to Spectre
the substantial price difference between the two, and the versatility of having a 2-in-1, I bought the HP spectre x360 and dont regret it at all. Dell XPS does have amazing bezel and screen, but its difficult for me to justify that additional cost, with both having intel gen 10th processors. You can't go wrong with both choices.
Leo Cheng but there is a difference in quality.. Dell better built quality.
Sign up for the dell emails. They sent me a 10% off coupon, Which saved almost $200 for the XPS.
Why do I feel 13 inch spectre is too small...but 15 too big. They should have a 14 inch and release it worldwide. Other than that the spectre is perfect and it is my dream laptop if I make it to a good college :D
Weird. In the UK you can get the Dell for a few hundred less.
in my opinion, the keyboard, design, hardware, ports and battery life push the win towards the spectre, but its a great review.
I agree...the subtle "blingy-ness," gem cut design, ports, OLED screen and keyboard pushes HP to the overall win for me - it just seems to have a bit more style/flash in the sea of space grays/blacks and a myriad of understated/minimalist designs. Granted the Dell 9300 is scheduled to arrive late next week, so I'll see if my opinion changes.

the thin bezels on XPS13" makes it look so gorgeous and modern .. thats to me the biggest difference although the price is higher too ..

Is HP Spectre X360 13t (late 2019) the latest HP. I had believed it was 2020, is that another one?
The one in the video is the latest model
@@andrewmarcdavid thank you
Can you review the latest Huawei Matebook 13 2020
I keep looking for the best laptop with Verizon LTE. < my work locations don't allow external hotspots, the LTE has to be built-in to the laptop for security reasons>. Seems like this HP only does ATT/Tmobile. In most of my work areas ATT doesn't seem to penetrate buildings well. (That is relative to MY areas, not necessarily yours.) Possibly HP has another option for Verizon but I have not found it. Plus I find this device too gaudy. I much prefer the look of the Dell. So far I am still using full time the Verizon Samsung Book S, but it has some limitations with the lack of Intel CPU software support by the app writers. Anyway from HP's website for this device " HP Spectre x360 13 can connect to ATT & T-Mobile. Verizon & Sprint not available. 4G Module on select models and designed for up to 1 Gbps download speeds (CAT16 LTE with 4x4 antenna configurations). "
Everyone has there own opinion. In my opinion the HP is the clear winner here. Many of your points were borderline and could have gone the other way given someone else making the comparison. The Dell did not clearly win enough points to justify the additional cost.
WHY I COME TO ANDREW FOR REVIEWS AND COMPARISONS? HONESTY. HE CAN AND WILL TELL YOU IF ONE COMPUTER OR ITEM IS BETTER THEN THE ONE HE HAS IF HE HAS ONE OF THE ITEMS BEING REVIEWED. MANY PEOE CAN'T OR WONT DO THIS BECAUSE THEY FEEL THAT THEIR ADMITTING THEY MADE A MISTAKE OR THEY JUST DONT WANT TOCOWN THE INFERIOR PRODUCT. BE HONEST AND PEOPLE WILL FOLLOW YOU. THATS WHY I ALWAYS COME HERE.
Can anyone please put the hp's amazon link for me here?
I believe del XPS has 6 core processor vs hp Spector 4 core.
Not this model
I will be a college freshman in several month. Iam planning to. Buy a new laptop after this pandemic.
Do you guys think i should get the hp spectre or the dell xps?
Iam not a gamer anymore, so I will spend most of my time i laptop coding , doing task from uni, using internet and so on.
I am really helped a lot for the objective recommendation :-)
It depends. do you want a 2 in 1 or connect a lot of peripherals? Then get the HP Spectre X360. I would rather get the Spectre due to those reasons, but they're both good.
Any news on when you’re gonna get hands on zephyrus g14?
I am still waiting on Asus
I love your reviews but this one not so much for the following reasons. You really seemed Dell XPS biased and may need a different type of scoring system. For example in categories that were close but the edge barely went to one or the other they got a 1 but in a category where it wasn't even close the winner still got only 1. For instance look at price and see a $400 difference for the same specs and so HP gets 1 point and again with a 2 hour edge in battery life HP only gets 1 point. Then with the keyboard you like the Dell better but said it was close so Dell gets a point. But there is no way that the difference in the Dell keyboard is equal to the difference of the $400 or the difference of the extra 2 hours the HP gives you in battery life over the Dell.
Please consider more of a 1-10 scale for 10 categories when grading laptops so you can score them on a range up to 100. This is just my opinion but I think then you will truly have a good ranking system in place since you test so many laptops. And your rankings would be based by category so you would have some AMD laptops score in the high 90s that might cost $900 while having some I7 laptops that score in the mid 80s and cost $1,300. It doesn't mean the AMD is better it only means the AMD is better in it's class!
Sorry for the rant.
I completely agree! I do appreciate the time and effort that’s been put into the review but I do think the scoring system needs an overhaul. I currently own an XPS and have just bought the Spectre. At the end of day the cost is where the rubber hits the road and while I don’t disagree with most of the review you have to seriously provide a lot of weighting for “bang for buck”. There’s no way I could justify paying an extra £300 just for a 16:10 screen that the XPS had. Also this is possibly the only review where someone has preferred the XPS keyboard to the Spectre - although most of the reviews compare the Spectre to the XPS 2-in-1 which is what I thought should’ve been a more appropriate comparison.
Btw I Missed your glasses at the very beginning 😁😁
Had the contact lenses in this time.
in my opinion overall the hp spectre had more attractive things but even the dell XPS 13 is beutifull nice review
I prefer the HP Spectre X360 13” .... specially the UHD edition
Never ever buy any laptop from Dell. The quality control is very poor and cheap parts are used. Batteries can swell up and damage the laptop and Dell do not think this is an issue. It is a very big concern. The company is awful now. NEVER EVER BUY DELL GARBAGE.
I hear you, I don't like their Dell XPS 15 2 in 1; it was a nightmare to use and it thermal throttled ON IDLE! Never have I seen a worse laptop from Dell with the exception of the XPS 13 2 in 1 7390.
Nice comparesion :)
me.. StiLl cant decide.. the problem is..MONEY
Review the LENOVO ThinkPad P73. P.K.
I have a spectre x360 and the battery life sucks terribly. Last like 3.5 hours
keep it going and it is nice channel .
Thanks really appreciate it 👍
The HP Spectre x360 FHD 1W can get up to an average of 420 nits when reconfigured in the Intel Graphics Control Panel under Power settings.
Make sure Display Power Saving Technology is turned off in this section.
Thanks for pointing that out first info!!
@@andrewmarcdavid My pleasure! This was featured in the Notebook Check review for the HP Spectre x360.
The peak brightness without the Display Power Saving setting is 447 nits in their review.
@@tech_realm Do you have to download the intel control panel or is it preinstalled?
@@PJ-sv4iw The Intel Graphics Control Panel is located in the right-click menu on the Windows desktop screen. Comes with every Intel laptop.
I love my Xps 13 9300 - Dell wins!
USB ports on the hp and the price lead me in the direction of the hp
16:10 gives it a loook & feel of having a bigger screen than it actually has.
Dell XPS13Indian rupees?
You should also consider how bad Dell's QC is, already came out reviewers from TH-cam got good ones on purpose so they can get praised but it reality everyone who bought from Dell xps 13 to 17 are getting very bad laptops with so many defects, even go on reddit and you will see. I already know someone going through there 3rd replacement from Dell because of so many defects. And top it off, there customer service is the worst in the market, people please be aware of the dangers of getting a Dell, reviewers call it "Apple Killer" for the Macbook Pro, but in reality it isn't.
the spectre has an OLED option, the XPS does not. So for me it's the Spectre.
OLED has the risk of burning in.
I would be glad if you make a comparison video better Mac Air 2020 and HP X Spectre 360 late 2019.
Guys, Why hp spectre 360 has such poor read and write speed?? Lenovo yoga c740 has far better read and write speed and comes with a lot lower price!
They are using optane memory
Please review Samsung galaxy flex
i will go with Dell XPS 13
I think hp will be the best buy
I will be watching the LiveStream tonight
Coming up...
At the end of the day only performance matters not design/hardware
Too harsh on hp. Unfair review.
Who needs a MicroSD on their laptop?.... No One!
He is definitely getting paid by dell
AMD do you have a livestream C O M I N G U P?
Yes I will be doing one tonight at 7pm pt
I prefer the X360 because Dell has a boring design.
