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 second is related in that connectivity improved thanks to the added thickness. First was adding some thickness and weight where needed rather than fixating on being as thin and light as possible. You can get a touch display with the XPS 17 but not with the MacBook Pro 16, so if that’s a preference, you’ll like the Dell.Īpple took a couple of positive steps back in designing the latest MacBook Pro 16. It’s a toss-up which is better, but Apple’s touchpad is undoubtedly the technological winner. The MacBook Pro 16’s version is entirely haptic-driven, and it’s been perfected - you can’t tell the difference from the physical buttons on the XPS 17’s touchpad. Both laptops also have superior touchpads, very large and with comfortable swiping surfaces. Both are excellent, but the MacBook Pro 16 wins out. The XPS 17’s keyboard is deeper and also quite precise, with switches that offer a similarly snappy feel - but it’s not quite as comfortable as Apple’s keyboard for longer typing sessions. The MacBook Pro 16 enjoys the best laptop keyboard, with shallow travel but snappy, precise scissor switches that provide excellent feedback and a light touch. These might technically be thin and light laptops, but they’re still on the larger side. 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 5.34 pounds versus 4.8 pounds. Both laptops have small display bezels, so they fit a lot of display into reasonably sized chassis. 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. You won’t choose between these two excellent machines based on their looks or build quality. The fiber palm rests on the XPS 17 are more comfortable than the MacBook Pro 16’s cold metal, but that’s the only design element that stands out. Each laptop is also attractively elegant in its own way, with the MacBook Pro 16 exhibiting a more conservative, minimalist design while the XPS 17 has a sleeker, more streamlined appearance and the choice of black (carbon fiber) or white (glass fiber) keyboard decks that give it a more luxurious appearance. Both are constructed of CNC machined aluminum, both exhibit zero bending, flexing, or twisting in the lid, keyboard deck, or chassis, and both exude quality. The Dell XPS 17 and Apple Macbook Pro 16 are two of the best-designed and most well-built laptops on the market today.
