Dell XPS 14 (2024) vs Apple MacBook Air 15 (2024)

Though the Apple MacBook Air 15 (2024) and Dell XPS 14 (2024) are both premium thin and light laptops, the Apple is better in most ways for most people. The Apple laptop's M3 silicon can handle some heavier workloads, but the fanless design limits its performance headroom, so it's really best for general productivity tasks. It also offers a much better user experience overall; it features a better keyboard and display by default, as well as industry-leading speakers and haptic touchpad. The Dell features more powerful hardware, including options for dedicated GPUS, making it better suited for workstation tasks. While you can get a nicer OLED display on the Dell, you have to pay extra for it.
