Dell XPS 13 Plus (2024) vs Samsung Galaxy Book4 360
The Verdict
Both laptops share identical processors (Intel Core Ultra 7 155H) and RAM (16GB LPDDR5x), making performance differences negligible for everyday tasks. The Dell XPS 13 Plus prioritizes portability at 1.24kg versus Samsung's 1.65kg, featuring a sharper 1920x1200 display at 500 nits brightness on a smaller 13.4-inch screen. The Samsung Galaxy Book4 360 counters with a larger 15.6-inch 2-in-1 AMOLED touchscreen at 120Hz refresh rate and superior battery life (14 hours vs 12 hours), plus practical connectivity including HDMI, two USB-A ports, and one USB-C port compared to Dell's two Thunderbolt ports only. The XPS 13 Plus excels for mobile professionals needing lightweight portability with premium build quality, while the Galaxy Book4 360 suits users wanting versatility with its convertible design, bigger screen real estate, and legacy port compatibility. Choose the XPS if ultraportability matters most; select Samsung if you value screen size, touchscreen capability, and traditional USB connectivity. At similar price points, this depends entirely on your primary use case.
