Dell XPS 13 Plus (2024) vs Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 360

The Verdict

Dell's XPS 13 Plus targets ultraportability with its 1.24 kg weight and compact 295 x 199 mm footprint, delivering solid performance via Intel Core Ultra 7 155H with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. The 13.4-inch 1920 x 1200 display reaches 500 nits brightness, adequate for outdoor use, though 60Hz refresh feels dated. Battery life maxes at 12 hours with a 55 Wh cell. Samsung's Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 sacrifices portability at 1.66 kg but gains significant screen real estate with a 16-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X touchscreen boasting 2880 x 1800 resolution and 120Hz refresh, making it superior for creative work. Its 76 Wh battery delivers 15 hours, and it includes practical ports: HDMI, USB-A, dual Thunderbolt, and microSD card expansion. Both share the Core Ultra 7 155H and 16GB RAM, so processing power mirrors identically. The Dell excels if you prioritize mobility and work primarily with web apps or documents. Samsung wins for professionals needing screen real estate, higher refresh rates, and connectivity flexibility. The $450 price gap reflects these trade-offs meaningfully.
