Price: starts at $1,299 for non-Touch-Bar but usually can be found for $1,099 or less at retailers. Once you've used it, it's really hard to go without it. I use it extensively and, going forward, would never buy another MBP without it.

Touch Bar: this is the single piece of major, consumer-facing technology that Apple has that the Windows world doesn't. Ports: Two Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports on the lower-cost MBP 13 configs and four Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports on the pricier Touch Bar models. In short, you won't find a 13-inch laptop with a better balance of performance and battery life. The MBP 13 will never disappoint (in my experience). Everyone likes long battery life and, I'm guessing, most consumers would rate it more critical than performance. Along with displays, this is another area where Apple excels and one of the reasons the MacBook has such enduring popularity.

Performance: to get the kind of performance that can begin to compete with the 8th Gen processors in the Dell XPS 13 9370, you need to opt for the Touch Bar MBP 13 with faster-clocked Core i5 and Core i7 chips such as the 3.5 GHz Core i7 (turbo boost up to 4 GHz).īattery Life: all-day+. I use a lot of laptops with 4K/UHD screens but Apple's Retina displays are consistently the best.

It also has very high color accuracy and a wide color gamut, a plus for creative professionals. And Apple's Retina displays are among the best out there.ĭisplay: the 13-inch MacBook Pro has a 13.3-inch 2,560-by-1,600 display that boasts 500 nits of brightness. Battery life is excellent (all-day) and performance, if you opt for a higher-end config (with at least a 3.1 GHz Core i5), is plenty fast for the vast majority of consumers.

Summary: The 13.3-inch MacBook Pro is just over 3 pounds but is built like a tank with its sturdy all-aluminum construction. And note that you'll get even better battery life with the config using a lower-resolution FHD display. So, at the very least, you can expect above-average battery life (based on my usage scenario), even with the Ultra HD display. I used the on a one-week road trip and it easily lasted all day. The typical performance improvement is 40 percent (or better) compared to 7th gen processors used in the XPS 13 9360.īattery Life: All-day. Battery life gets pretty close to the MBP 13 even though the Apple laptop has a 7th Gen dual-core processor. It's probably the biggest leap in laptop processor tech since Intel went from single-core to dual-core many eons ago.

Performance: Most 13-inch Windows 10 laptops have been offering Intel's quad-core 8th gen processors for more than six months now. While it doesn't have a 360-degree hinge, the display can tilt far back (and note that Dell's newest XPS 15 2-in-1 and Dell's XPS 13 2-in-1 do have a 360-degree hinge). An almost-borderless 13.3-inch 4K Ultra HD (3,840-by-2,160) touch display that also makes room for infrared imaging sensors to authenticate and unlock Windows via facial recognition. Display: The Dell XPS 13 has probably the most advanced display assembly on any 13-inch laptop today.
