Our Verdict

ASUS Zenbook 14 Flip OLED (2023)

Dell XPS 13 Plus (2022)

The ASUS Zenbook 14 Flip OLED (2023) and the Dell XPS 13 Plus (2022) are both premium ultraportables. However, the ASUS is a 2-in-1 convertible, while the Dell is a standard clamshell model. The ASUS is better, as it has a wider port selection and longer battery life, and its CPU doesn't throttle as much under load. The Dell is available with sharper 4k displays, but all its display options have a 60Hz refresh rate, while the ASUS has a 90Hz refresh rate.
