Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 Vs. Microsoft Surface Pro 4 – Best Specs and Features Comparison

Microsoft has done excellently with their new products, including the Surface Pro. The Surface Pro refers to a series of tablets running Windows 10, which you can connect to a special detachable keyboard. The Surface Pro 4 has been released back in 2015, but it’s still a great device. Meanwhile, Dell has released quite a serious competitor for this product, namely the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 notebook. This one was released in January and it also a reliable device. But which one scores better?

Keyboard Attachment

One of the major differences that have to be mentioned in the beginning is the fact that the keyboard of the Surface Pro 4 can be attached and detached right from the display, while the one for the XPS 13 folds either in part or all the way back.

Display

The XPS 13 device offers a larger display than its rival, sporting 13.3 inches, in comparison with the 12.3 inches found on the Surface Pro 4. XPS also offers two options: FHD display (1920×1080 pixels) or the QHD+ one, with 3200×1800 pixels resolution. Both of them have a clean aspect and almost no bezel at all on the sides and also on the top.

Battery

When it comes to battery, Dell decided to go for a low-power CPU, that will score great results with battery life. The company brags about offering 15 hours of battery life on a single charge. Meanwhile, the Surface Pro 4 promises 9 hours of battery life.

Memory and Storage

Here is one of the fields where there aren’t really many differences. When it comes to RAM, both devices use 4/8/16 GB configurations. The two rivals also offer the same options for internal storage too, namely 128/256/512 GB or 1 TB.
