Dell XPS Offers Striking yet Polarizing Design vs Apple's Refined MacBook Pro

Dell XPS has a bold, striking design with invisible trackpad and flat keyboard, while Apple's MacBook Pro design is tried-and-true and more comfortable.

Performance is generally comparable between M3 MacBook Pro and XPS with Intel Core i7, but XPS has better graphics with discrete GPU option.

MacBook Pro easily outlasts XPS on battery life, with around 18 hours versus 7 hours.

Both have great displays, with MacBook using mini-LED and XPS offering OLED, catering to different preferences.

Pricing starts lower for XPS but upgrades cost a pretty penny for both devices. Comfort of MacBook Pro beats out novelty of XPS for most.
