Here I am telling you the comparison between the MacBook Pro 13 vs Dell XPS 13. There ispower button one area . I still think the MacBook Pro does just come out top though is with the keyboard and the touchpad the size responsiveness and gestures of the touchpad with Mac OS is just fantastic and now they've replaced the slowly iffy butterfly keyboard with the awesome magic keyboard for me I think this has the best keyboard on any laptop you can buy the Dell isn't far behind in fact it's one of my favorites on a Windows laptop and the precision touchpad is still lovely to use but overall I think I prefer using the matte book however what may sway you is the love it or hate it touch bar initially I found it pretty annoying and I still do sometimes but with a little bit of customizing and a few days getting used to it it can be useful I will admit though that most of the time I would just prefer a regular function row and not having to faff with the fancy touch controls now speaking of touch let's talk about the screens and starting with the Dell we actually have two options here we have a full HD plus non touchscreen.
Or I have with this guy a 4k touchscreen so it works out we get 227 pixels per inch on the MacBook versus 338 pixels per inch so it is sharper and if you look closely you can't just see a difference so both of my book and the dealt peak at 500 nits of brightness and you can see there isn't a great deal of difference there as you'd expect but what we can do on the Dell because it supports it is actually jump to the display settings if we disable or uncheck that don't allow HDR on battery mode so then if I could jump to 4k HDR that's nothing to mention by the way that YouTube's on but pro still maxes out at 1080p even though it is technically a high resolution 1080p the display we can't go above that so that's one thing to consider but now we get full HDR and as you can see it's much brighter than the MacBook Pro to be honest I think 4k on a 13-inch laptop is overkill and the impact it has on your battery life is not worth the extra sharpness one hour of YouTube use 10% of MacBook Pros battery versus 20% of the Dells and overall in my everyday use test I got about 8 hours from the MacBook.

MacBook Pro 13 vs Dell XPS 13 |
And they use the same speed ddr4 Ram however one advantage of the MacBook Pro is you can spec it out with 32 gigs of ram and up to 4 terabytes of storage whereas the Dell maxes out with 16 gigs and 1 terabyte respectively so if you're buying this on the company or you have very deep pockets then you can go crazy with the specs on the MacBook in favor of the Dell though you can you upgraded yourself so once you take off the baseplate you'll need a tox t5 screwdriver for that new thing we can change if i zoom in here is the m2 SSD so there's a little screw here which have to take out and it's just simply a case of pulling off this heat dissipator and then you can see the m2 SSD and then all you need to do is take this out buy a new one of whatever capacity you want you will of course have to clone Windows or do a fresh reinstall if you do change your SSD but it does mean that you could potentially go for the cheaper lower spec version of this and then whenever you want down the road buy a bigger m2 SSD and upgrade the storage that way so that's something that you can't do on the MacBook Pro so between the two when it comes to performance there isn't really much in it actually it all comes down to what programs you
