This is a pretty big deal because, for the first time, svelte 13-inch laptops are able to tap into Intel quad-core performance. Apple has not: the latest MacBook Pro 13 uses 7th gen dual-core processors. In other words, HP and Dell have updated their offerings with the latest Intel 8th Gen quad-core. That is the gap between Spectre/XPS and the MacBook. Performance: I will focus on the biggest gap in performance. The MacBook Pro still looks great and is also an iconic design seen in coffee shops and airports across the world.Īpple 13.3-inch MacBook Pro. When/if I get my hands on the redesigned 2018 Dell XPS 13 (model 9370) that may change. But the design is beginning to age a bit. I'll add that the Dell XPS 13 has become an icon for 13-inch laptop design with its thin display bezels and compact 12-inch laptop form factor. And it has become my go-to laptop for trips because it's easy to tote around and has great weight distribution (an underrated metric, imo). The Pixelbook is a stunningly thin design that can match anything the Windows and Mac world can throw at it.

And HP redesigned the 2017 Spectre 13, using thinner display bezels, reducing the footprint. The HP laptop is pushing the boundaries of ultra-thin industrial design but still delivers good (quad-core) performance. Winner(s): HP Spectre and Google Pixelbook. Despite this, the all-aluminum chassis feels very solid/durable. The 12.3-inch Pixelbook's thinness (a tablet-like 0.4-inches) and weight (2.4 pounds - making it even lighter than the HP Spectre 13) make it a totable wonder (something I definitely notice when I put it in my bag).
