Surface Laptop 3 vs Dell XPS 13 7390 2-in-1 Full Comparison
The 13.5″ Surface Laptop 3 is a great premium Windows laptop, just like Dell’s XPS 13 2-in-1, but which one is the better buy?
Both of these premium Windows laptops feature excellent build quality, with all-metal designs, apart from a carbon fiber composite palm rest on the XPS.
Both of these feature biometric authentication, but the Surface actually has infrared facial scanning, so you’re logged into Windows instantly!
The XPS features a hinge that can fold all the way back for tablet mode use, which is nice for viewing shows and movies.
The Surface has a large trackpad which works very well, while the XPS has an excellent keyboard that goes from one edge to the other.
The Surface also has speakers that are hidden beneath the keyboard, and they actually sound amazing!
Both of these feature Intel’s latest 10th-gen 10nm Ice Lake processors, and they perform incredibly well.
However, both of them have their own flaws, so let’s talk about them!

What about hp envy 13'
Forgot to mention the Surface is MUCH better for gaming with the 2:3
Carbon fibre is much more premium then aluminum what you mean
Max, can you do this comparison between Surface Laptop 3 and Dell XPS 2020 ? Currently you are doing too many Mac/Apple Silicon videos, do some windows laptop comparisons
Good luck with the XPS. I went through two of them before I found out they're assembled by some monkeys and the QC is horrendous on them. I went with the Surface Laptop 3 and I couldn't be happier.
Great review. I like the part that you compared reflections.
agree. the speakers on the surface is so great. not a fan of the keyboard feedback much nor the reflection off the screen. Got a pretty great deal with better specs on sale earlier with 256gb storage. Not such a fan of the battery life. Feels like it drains fairly quickly
dell is looking better
How can microsoft miss to include a thunderbolt port?
XPS is a typical ugly windows running laptop. Surface looks way better.
Alacantra 😂😂
Is this laptop able to run programs like AutoCad, Adobe Creative Cloud, Rhino, and Revit efficiently and smoothly?
Those wallpapers?
The XPS 13 also has Windows Hello, just like the Surface Laptop. Not only limited to the finger print scanner.
Did u just say the Dell XPS doesn't have facial recognition?! 😂
Good comparison. My only gripe was how you mentioned all the features of thunderbolt 3 like high end storage and multiple 4k monitors, as if the usb-c port on the surface laptop can't do them. The only thing thunderbolt does that usb 3.1 can't do is an external GPU, and you REALLY shouldn't be using those anyways because they're a gigantic waste of money for the performance you'll get.
What?! The Surface keyboard should win because it have more travel distance.
Great insight especially about the price points. Subscribed.
Surface display is trash
I had to listen to that twice @0:41 (Alah·cant·tra)… Just for future reference it's pronounced Al·can·tar·ah.
This guy knows what he is talking about. You won yourself a subscriber!
Im watching this on a Surface Laptop 3 lol.
What is the name of the song that he tested the speakers with?
Dell xps is a clear winner, even before watching the video
3:39 you mean 128 gigs of ssd😎
In my opinion the Surface is way better. The only downfall is the display compared to the XPS
Carbon fibre isn't as premium as aluminum? Excuse me?
Lol,alacantra
I have the xps 15. Just a warning, the xps series don't last long. After two years you might as well get a new pc. Battery is shot, fans are shot, it becomes so loud someday that it's embarrassing to use it in a class room. (I clean it regularly so thats not why).
Paying so much money for it is not WORTH IT. Get a different laptop.
Nice Comparison. I use the Dell XPS 13 2in1 and i love it. When using
the speakers make sure the MaxxAudioSoftware is enabled and that bass
and details are turned all the way up. The sound quality improves
drastically.
You'll have links with the best price to buy, eh? What a liar!
Such a small thing, but an absence of normal USB port making XPS so much more unpractical for me.
Why do all the people that narrate Max tech videos talk alike 😂
I just tried out the Surface 3 Laptop at Best Buy and while the Alcantara fiber was on fleek, the keyboard overall was atrocious. Thin chiclet-style keys a la Apple and the entire keyboard flexed whenever I hit a key in the middle.
the xps screen makes the surface look like its 5 years old
Take this guy's reviews with caution. I took his advice on some of the products he promoted, and the results were disastrous.
I'm not saying don't believe a word he says or don't watch his reviews, but I swear I don't want anyone to make the same mistakes I did. Just compare what he says to other reliable reviewers and then make up your mind.
What about repairability?
