Dell XPS 13 (2023) vs Samsung Galaxy Book4 360

The Verdict

Dell XPS 13 targets ultraportability with its 2.59-pound frame and compact 13.4-inch form factor, while Samsung Galaxy Book4 360 prioritizes screen real estate and versatility with a 15.6-inch display and 2-in-1 convertible design. Display brightness favors Dell at 500 nits versus Samsung's 400 nits, though Samsung compensates with a superior 120Hz refresh rate on its AMOLED panel compared to Dell's 60Hz IPS screen. Performance edges toward Samsung, featuring Intel Core Ultra 7 155H with 16 cores against Dell's Core i7-1360P with 12 cores, though both carry identical 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. Battery endurance slightly favors Samsung at 14 hours mixed use with its larger 68Wh capacity, beating Dell's 12-hour rating and 51Wh battery. Port selection differs significantly: Dell maximizes Thunderbolt with two ports but lacks HDMI and USB-A, while Samsung provides legacy connectivity including HDMI, two USB-A ports, and Thunderbolt support. Price separation of $50 is negligible. Choose Dell XPS 13 if you prioritize extreme portability and brightness; select Samsung Galaxy Book4 360 for larger screen, convertible flexibility, superior performance, and longer battery life with traditional ports.
