The Dell XPS17 and Apple MacBookPro16 are two of the best large laptops you can buy, but the MacBook Pro 16 has unrivaled performance and battery life.
If you’re looking for a laptop with a larger display for editing photos or videos, then you have a wide range of choices. Two of the best are Dell’s XPS 17 and Apple’s MacBook Pro 16, both of which are excellent laptops with prices to match. In addition, both laptops recently received updates to the internals that left almost everything else the same.
Related The XPS 17 is a bit larger in width, unsurprising given its 16:10 17-inch display compared to the MacBook Pro 16’s 16:10 16.2-inch panel. Both laptops have small display bezels, so they fit a lot of display into reasonably sized chassis. The XPS 17 is thicker than the MacBook Pro 16 at 0.77 inches versus 0.66 inches, even though the latest MacBook Pro 16 is thicker than its predecessors, and the Dell is also heavier at 5.37 pounds versus 4.8 pounds.
Apple took a couple of positive steps back in designing the latest MacBook Pro 16. First was adding some thickness and weight where needed rather than fixating on being as thin and light as possible. The second is related in that connectivity improved thanks to the added thickness. Now, rather than just USB-C with Thunderbolt ports, you get a full-size HDMI 2.0 port and a full-size SD card reader to go with three USB-C with Thunderbolt 4 ports.
The XPS 17 is offered with Intel 13th-gen 45-watt H-series CPUs, up to the Core i9-13900H. We tested the laptop with the Core i7-13700H, with 14 cores and 20 threads. Our review unit equipped with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 clocked at 60 watts. Display You have two display choices with the Dell XPS 17, a 17-inch Full HD+ IPS panel or a 4K+ IPS panel. We tested the latter, and it was a superior display by IPS standards. The MacBook Pro 16 comes with just one display option, a 16.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display running at 3456 x 2234.
Battery life is a more prominent, differentiating feature. The XPS 17 managed just 4.75 hours in our web browsing test that cycles through a series of popular and complex websites, and 5.25 hours in our video test that loops through a local Full HD Avengers trailer. Those aren’t great results, but unsurprising given the large 4K display and power-hungry components. However, the MacBook Pro 16 managed 18.
