Dell XPS 15 (2024) vs Samsung Galaxy Book4 360
The Verdict
Both laptops share the same Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor and 15.6-inch touchscreens, but they cater to different priorities. The Dell XPS 15 justifies its $150 premium with a stunning 3456 x 2160 OLED display that delivers superior color accuracy and contrast, making it ideal for content creators and professionals. Its 32GB RAM versus the Galaxy Book4's 16GB provides more headroom for heavy multitasking. The Dell also includes an SD card reader and maintains an advantage in display resolution, crucial for photo editing or design work. Samsung counters with a lighter 1.65kg chassis (versus Dell's 1.86kg), faster 120Hz refresh rate beneficial for scrolling, and longer claimed battery life at 14 hours. The Galaxy Book4's 360-degree hinge adds versatility for presentations and tablet mode, a feature the XPS lacks. Performance between them is nearly identical given the matching processor. Storage expansion favors Dell with its expandable SSD slot. If you prioritize display quality and RAM for creative work, the XPS 15 wins decisively. If you value portability, screen responsiveness, and 2-in-1 flexibility, the Galaxy Book4 360 offers better value at a lower price point. The XPS 15 edges ahead overall for pure performance and creative workflows.
