Dell XPS 13 (2025) vs Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 360
The Verdict
Dell XPS 13 excels as a ultraportable workstation with its featherweight 2.6-pound chassis and stunning 13.4-inch OLED display delivering 2560x1600 pixels at vibrant 400 nits brightness. Its Intel Core Ultra 7 265V processor with 8 cores and 16GB LPDDR5X RAM handles productivity tasks smoothly, while the 55Wh battery provides respectable 14-hour endurance. However, the fixed 512GB storage and limited port selection (2 USB-C, 2 Thunderbolt) restrict expandability and connectivity. Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 takes a different approach, prioritizing screen real estate and performance with a larger 16-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X touchscreen running 120Hz refresh, outputting 2880x1800 resolution for content creators and multitaskers. Its 16-core Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor significantly outpaces the XPS 13, offering better sustained performance for demanding workloads. The 76Wh battery delivers 15-hour battery life, while SD card expandability and legacy ports (HDMI, USB-A) provide superior connectivity. The convertible hinge adds versatility, though at 3.66 pounds, it's considerably heavier. Choose Dell XPS 13 if maximum portability matters most and you need a premium ultrabook for travel and everyday computing. Select Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 if you value raw processing power, screen size, legacy connectivity, and can accept the weight penalty—particularly if creative work or multitasking defines your workflow. The $450 price difference reflects their distinct positioning.
