Running the OpenCL test highlights a noticeable gap between the two cards. What you might not expect is the big difference we can see in the performance of the GPUs. What probably is making the real difference here is the better cooling the XPS has since Dell did compromise a little more on the laptop’s weight and footprint and thus has better results. They are, in fact, almost the same since the difference in clock speed is so small. Right off the bat, we get similar results, as expected, while comparing the CPUs in Geekbench. It’s time to get the cat out of the bag and go run some benchmarks. The biggest difference, however, is the screen: we’re already familiar with Apple’s incredible quality of their Retina displays, but on the XPS we have a new option: a wonderful 4K OLED panel that may be the first of its kind on a laptop.Įven though we know that specs on paper, even if we may enjoy comparing them, they are not the whole story.

They differ instead in the graphic compartment: Dell has picked the GeForce 1650 4GB, while Apple, staying faithful to their choice of neglecting NVidia cards, has a Radeon Pro Vega 20 4GB card. They both come equipped with the latest i9 eight-core CPUs with a slight difference in clock speed, 32GB of RAM and ultra-fast NVME SSDs. Comparing the specs on paper, we can see a few similarities. The two rivals are both top of the line computers, there’s no doubt about that. Max Yuryev is going to compare these two machines to gives a better idea of their performances as editing laptops. One of the most favored is the XPS 15 by Dell.Ī sleek and light laptop (not MacBook-esque-thin-and-light, but close) that is one of the most realistic alternatives to the MacBook Pro both in terms of power and portability. In Windows instead, we have a lot of options. The 15-inch model if you want to go for the stars.

If your software choice is MacOS, then there is only one choice: the MacBook Pro. Just a few years back we would’ve laughed at the thought of an editor cutting H.264 4K files on the go, 8 or 10bit it would not matter, it was just out of question. The latest few generations of chips released from both Intel and AMD have brought unprecedented amounts of raw power in all computers: laptop and workstation alike have reached tremendous amounts of editing capabilities.
