ASUS Zenbook 14 Flip OLED (2023) vs Dell XPS 14 (2024)

Though both are 14-inch models, the ASUS Zenbook 14 Flip OLED (2023) and the Dell XPS 14 (2024) are quite different. The Zenbook is a 2-in-1 convertible designed for general productivity, while the XPS 14 is a more traditional clamshell model intended for slightly more demanding tasks, like programming and video editing. Regarding the overall user experience, the Zenbook is better, as the XPS' keyboard and touchpad design requires a fair amount of adaptation and might not be to everyone's liking. The Zenbook also has a wider port selection, making connecting peripherals and external displays easier. While the XPS 14's battery life is much longer than the Zenbook's, the difference is likely much smaller if you get the XPS with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 discrete GPU. Also worth noting is that the XPS 14's base configuration comes with a lower resolution FHD+ display; you have to pay more for the 3.2k OLED panel.
