Our Verdict
Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14 (2023)
Dell XPS 14 (2024)
The Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14 (2023) and the Dell XPS 14 (2024) are both compact laptops designed for general productivity (text processing and web browsing) as well as moderately demanding workloads, like video editing and 3D modeling. The Dell's build feels more premium, but the overall user experience isn't quite as good as the Lenovo's, as its keyboard and touchpad design requires a fair amount of adaptation and might not be to everyone's liking. Also, the Dell laptop's base configuration comes with a lower resolution FHD+ display (you must pay more for the higher-end OLED panel), whereas the Lenovo starts with a QHD+ panel, with the option to upgrade to a 120Hz 3k screen. The Lenovo also has a wider port selection, including an HDMI 2.1 port. As for performance, the Dell is better, but only if you get a configuration with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 GPU, and even then, the difference is relatively small.
