If you want a bit more wiggle room in terms of which specs to get, the XPS 13 at least gives you a choice between Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors, while the M1 chip is pretty much what it is. Though both laptops run on a type of processor based on big.LITTLE architecture (the only thing you need to know is that these types of processors are usually much more energy efficient), the Apple M1 chip is simply a more efficient chip than the Intel Alder Lake chips in the Dell XPS 13. Where things really diverge is battery life, with the MacBook Air getting several hours more life than the XPS 13. Let's start by saying that the difference between the two when it comes to everyday performance on day-to-day tasks like video streaming, web surfing, and productivity work is going to be mostly indistinguishable. When it comes to performance, the key difference between the XPS 13 and the MacBook Air really comes down to two things: battery life and visual quality.
APPLE COMPARE LAPTOPS WINDOWS
If you want the best Windows laptop to replicate the Apple MacBook Air feel, then the Dell XPS 13 is that laptop. Ultimately, if you want the original, go with Apple. The one advantage Apple has here is that it is the originator of this style of ultrathin laptop which the Dell XPS 13 was deliberately created to compete against, and there's no question that the XPS is the best Ultrabook on the market in this regard. You're getting more or less the same ports (two USB Type-C ports) and the same low profile chiclet-style keyboards. In terms of weight and physical profile, the two laptops are pretty much identical. If you're looking for a Rose Gold-esque color option, then Apple has the advantage here, otherwise, they are both more or less the same. They both have a minimalist appeal to them and have some similar colors, namely the silver and dark purple colorways, though the MacBook Air 2022 has the advantage of Twilight and Space Gray color options. No matter which you go with, you're going to look stylish wherever you use it, so don't worry too much on that front.īoth have elegant, clean lines and thin bezels. When it comes to the XPS 13 vs MacBook Air, you really are comparing two of the most beautifully designed laptops on Earth, so this is a very hard decision to make.
