The 13-inch laptop is a popular breed, and there are numerous excellent options from which to choose. The best 13-inch laptops are portable, fast and efficient, and well built, making them a staple for anyone who needs an excellent laptop that’s easy to carry around.
One area where the XPS 13 outdoes the MacBook Pro 13 M1 is in its display bezels, which are notably thinner and make for a laptop that feels smaller but with a bigger screen. We’ll talk about portability later, but in overall appearance, this slight difference significantly impacts the laptop’s identity. The XPS 13 just seems like a more modern device, and the fact that its display appears to float in midair contributes greatly.
Connectivity is almost a wash, with both laptops being limited to two USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4 support and a 3.5mm audio jack. The XPS 13 does include a microSD card reader, which is a plus and something the MacBook Pro 13 M1 lacks. Both use Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0 or 5.1 for wireless connectivity.
Performance There’s nothing wrong with the XPS 13’s performance, not compared to most 13-inch laptops. It can be configured with up to a Core i7-1195G7, which is a fast quad-core CPU, but it’s fallen behind as Intel’s 12th-gen chips start hitting the market. And it can’t hold a candle to the Apple M1 processor in the MacBook Pro 13 M1. This hybrid ARM chip has eight cores, four performance and four efficiency, with 16 GPU cores.
Display Dell gives you plenty of options when it comes to displays, all of which are 13.4-inches in the productivity-friendly 16:10 aspect ratio. You can choose from a Full HD+ IPS non-touch or touch panel, an IPS UHD+ touchscreen, or a 3.5K OLED touch display. The latter is particularly good, with dynamic and accurate colors and inky-black contrast.
Battery life is where the MacBook Pro 13 M1 shines in its portability. While the XPS 13 4K+ managed just 6.3 hours in our web browsing test that cycles through a series of popular and complex websites, the MacBook Pro 13 M1 went for 16 hours, one of the best performances we’ve seen. In our video looping test that plays back a local Full HD Avengers trailer, the XPS 13 lasted 12 hours compared to the MacBook Pro 13 M1 at just over 21 hours.

I remember Dell for the original BIOS interface, which is the same for all other manufacturers.
