The Verdict

Both laptops pack identical Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processors and 16GB LPDDR5x RAM, making them performance peers for everyday computing and light creative work. The Dell XPS 14 targets users who prioritize portability and premium build quality. Its 14.5-inch 1920x1200 InfinityEdge display delivers sharper text with higher pixel density, 500 nits of brightness, and uses IPS technology for wide viewing angles. The aluminum-carbon fiber chassis weighs 1.74kg and measures just 18mm thick, plus it includes Thunderbolt 3 and microSD card slot for expandability. However, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 360 offers compelling value at $350 less. Its larger 15.6-inch AMOLED display supports 120Hz refresh rate, delivers superior contrast and colors, and functions as a true 2-in-1 convertible (flip to tablet mode). At 1.65kg, it's slightly lighter despite the bigger screen, and claims 14 hours battery life versus Dell's 12 hours. The Samsung sacrifices Thunderbolt for Thunderbolt 2 connectivity and lacks microSD expansion, but includes legacy USB-A ports valuable for office environments. Choose the XPS 14 if you need compact ultraportability and premium build materials. Pick the Galaxy Book4 360 if you want more screen real estate, AMOLED richness, 2-in-1 flexibility, and maximum battery endurance without stretching your budget.
