![]() ![]() Speaking of USB Type-C both Dell and HP use "full" Thunderbolt 3 specifications on at least one USB Type-C port. ![]() ![]() The one that is better is the one that you can live with in 2017. HP does the opposite with two USB 3.1 Type-C ports and just one USB Type-A. Dell has two "legacy" USB 3.0 Type-A ports for standard USB peripherals with only one USB 3.1 Type-C. Pen and inking are the future of Microsoft's OS and HP's laptop is front and center.įor USB ports Dell and HP do things a bit differently. Make no mistake that the Spectre x360 will gain more from the Windows 10 Creator's Update due in April than the XPS 15. Like the dual-core versus quad-core distinction, this ability for the HP Spectre x360 to lay flat, or fit on an airplane table to watch a movie is a crucial differentiator. Sure, the XPS 15 has an optional fingerprint reader, but it costs a bit extra ($25) and isn't quite as satisfying. Between these two laptops, the Spectre x360 is the clear winner thanks to an IR camera that allows you to sign in with your face. Plus, it's one of the most natural looking displays I have seen recently.Īs Windows Hello grows in popularity, pressure is put on manufacturers to make their devices compatible. ![]() In fact, it does give you active pen support. Additionally, Dell gets a nod for the matte Full HD non-glare option, which not only saves you some money but extends the battery life by two to three hours and is easier on your eyes (it's my personal choice).ĭoes that make the HP Spectre's display bad? Absolutely not. Nonetheless, for color accuracy, vibrancy, and brightness the XPS 15's 4K IGZO is the clear winner. Luckily, that display is also non-PenTile, which means it's a "true" 4K panel that looks fantastic. Keep in mind also that if you want to use Windows Ink, you have to go with the Spectre x360. Because of its convertible design, you have no option other than a touch-enabled display, and there is no lesser-resolution option for those looking to save some dollars. If that's not really your thing, you can check out the Spectre x360, which also has a thin bezel along the edges but still has a decent bezel along the top to fit the webcam. If you don't think you'll need a touch display, your only option is the 1080p version of the XPS 15 (which is also non-glare). It's stunning to look at, but it also requires the webcam to be moved below the display, just above the keyboard. First, the XPS 15's InfinityEdge IGZO display has almost no bezel around it, making it seem like it stretches right to the edges. While both laptops have incredible 4K displays, there are a few things to know. ![]()
