Our Verdict
Dell XPS 14 (2024)
ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024)
The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024) is better than the Dell XPS 14 (2024) for most uses. The G14 has more GPU options, giving you a smoother gaming experience and more processing power to tackle demanding productivity tasks. It also provides a better user experience, as its keyboard and touchpad are easier to use and require less adaptation. The G14's OLED panel isn't quite as sharp as the XPS 14's OLED panel; however, you don't have to pay extra for the G14's OLED display, whereas the XPS 14's OLED panel is a premium option that costs more.
