The HP Specter x360 thirteen and Dell XPS thirteen 9300 are the most sensitive in the global market for the thirteen-inch lapmost sensitive. But the presentations in the two sensitive lapmost are drastically different: the costs are also the same.
This is a very comparison/review.
After any of the laptops for several months, here is something more mind, beyond the knowledge provided in the table below.
Display: HP uses an impressive 13.3-inch AMOLED demo that looks brighter than 400 nits specifications.And the colors explode, which is typical of OLED.It is still rare to place an OLED display on a 13-inch laptop, OLED is widely used.used on smartphones such as iPhone 11 and Samsung Galaxy S20.
Dell’s credit is a 13.4-inch LCD display that intelligently integrates into a chassis about the same length as the 13.3-inch Spectre.
Performance: I use either on a normal basis and don’t notice a noticeable difference in performance.Both seamlessly manage medium to high productivity workloads.Both configurations use the tenth generation Intel 106fiveG7 processor.Geekbench five points here and here for the Dell XPS thirteen 9300 and the HP Spectre x360 thirteen respectively.
Heat: I haven’t detected any unusual heat disorder with any of the laptops, as they can heat up (especially in warm summer climates) if you use many Chrome tabs while performing productivity tasks, due to their incredibly compact designs.
In note, none of them heat up like the 13-inch MacBook Air, which I’ve had in the past, the latest version of the MBA.In my experience, HP and Dell manage Intel thermals more than Apple.
Battery life: Your mileage may vary, but I can reduce the battery life of either if I’m careful, even if I have 4K sports screens (but keep in mind that lower resolution FHD displays will give you a longer battery, the way the Dell XPS case thirteen 7390 2 in 1 I have , has an FHD display).
I’m aware of how I use any of the laptops when they have battery power and keep the screen brightness to a minimum, and I take care to close the Chrome tabs and apps I don’t use.
Keyboard: Dell’s XPS 9300 has larger keys than previous versions of the thirteen XPS and, although it’s a slim keyboard, it’s easy to type for long periods of time.HP can be a little harder for your hands in a marathon writing session.
Audio: Dell wins in audio. Not that HP speakers are bad, they’re not, but they’re under the laptop, which drowns out the sound if you use it on your lap.Dell does a greater task of projecting sound back and forth, as it also uses up projection speakers.And Dell speakers are a big improvement over the previous XPS 13, which had a tiny sound with virtually no bass.
Materials: Dell adheres to the fiberglass wrist rest and aluminum construction shown, while HP opts for an all-aluminum design.Both are rock-solid.
Price: In early August 2020, there is a value gap between the two systems, based on the values on the HP and Dell websites, that favors HP (see table).That said, values are turning those days and flash sales are common, so price dynamics can replace them at any time.
Summary:
Every year, HP and Dell try to pack more and more into a smaller, lighter design. For the most part, this strategy works. Both are very easy to wear and best for road warriors. Both are fast and perform a smart heat management task in a compact design. I prefer the HP OLED screen to the Dell LCD screen, but I prefer the Dell speaker system. who appreciate battery life instead of proving quality deserve to go for FHD and FHD displays).
