Our Verdict
Dell XPS 13 (2024)
ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED (2024)
The Dell XPS 13 (2024) and the ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED (2024) are both high-end Windows ultraportables with Intel's new Meteor Lake CPUs. Both devices offer premium full-aluminum chassis and excellent portability, and they both suffer from the same thermal throttling issue, making them suited to light productivity tasks. The Dell offers superior battery life, a smaller form factor, and a superior webcam and microphone, making it a better choice for those who need to use their laptop on the go. By contrast, the ASUS laptop offers vastly superior connectivity options, including an HDMI port, touch and pen inputs, and a wider range of OLED displays, making it more suited to in-office or at-home use.
