![]() ![]() TL DR: The XPS 13 is the smallest laptop of the two (and arguably has the best colors), but the MacBook Air has slightly better ports and a superior typing experience. Meanwhile, the more minimalist Dell XPS 13 gets points for including a USB-C to USB-A adapter, which is handy for connecting your older peripherals.įinally, while both of these laptops have great keyboards, the MacBook’s Magic Keyboard gets the edge by offering just a bit more bounce - not to mention a larger touchpad for scrolling. It’s also the only laptop of the two to still feature a built-in headphone jack for wired audio. The MacBook Air M2 has the advantage of a dedicated MagSafe charging port, which snaps on and off easily via magnets (and is ideal in the event someone trips over your cable) and keeps the two USB-C ports free for accessories. I’m personally partial to the Dell XPS 13’s bolder color options, but if I’m heading out for the day, I’d take the Umber XPS 13 and Starlight MacBook Air on my desk over pretty much any other laptop I’ve tested.īoth of these laptops are minimal on ports - packing just two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C inputs each - though there are some key differences here. The MacBook Air offers a wider range of colors with Midnight (a bluish black) and Starlight (gold) joining the usual Space Gray and Silver, while the XPS 13 offers a smaller but arguably more eye-catching duo of Umber (dark red) and Sky (light blue). These are both notebooks you can feel good about using at your local coffee shop - it really just comes down to which colors you prefer. The MacBook Air M2 is still a beautiful notebook - and very easy to carry around at 2.7 pounds - but it does look thicker when placed next to the XPS. There’s truly no wasted space on this machine, something that makes it that much easier to slide into your bag. The XPS 13 is notably smaller than Apple’s laptop, with razor-thin edges, a nearly borderless display and an edge-to-edge keyboard. The MacBook Air M2 and Dell XPS 13 are two of the slimmest and best-looking laptops around, but if sheer portability is your priority, Dell gets the win here. ![]() Your CNN account Log in to your CNN accountīoth laptops boast terrific portability, but the Dell XPS 13 (right) has the edge because it wastes no space in its smaller design. ![]()
