The Microsoft Surface Pro 9 is our favorite Windows tablet available right now thanks to its high performing 12th Gen Intel Core processor or Microsoft SQ3 processor if you prefer to have 5G connectivity. However, Dell has just unveiled their new refresh to the XPS 13, with a sleek and elegant machined aluminum body, new 13th Gen Intel Core Ultra processors, and an option for a 3K OLED touchscreen display. We'll be taking you through the similarities and differences between these two impressive machines, helping you to decide which one is the better fit for your own needs.

If you're searching for a device running Windows 11 that's not a traditional laptop, you'll run into two categories. There are traditional tablets, like the XPS 13 2-in-1, which have a detachable keyboard and a sleeker 13-inch form factor. Then, there are larger convertibles like the new Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360, which is 16 inches, shaped more like a laptop, and has a 360-degree hinge to let you rotate the screen to various modes of use.

HP and Dell both have some high-end convertible laptops in their stables, including the Dragonfly Folio G3 and the XPS 13 2-in-1 (9315). Dell's XPS has a 2-in-1 design that allows the keyboard and touchpad to completely detach from the display portion, allowing you to use it as a true tablet. HP's Dragonfly Folio is also considered a convertible, though it has a fairly rare pull forward design that doesn't really adhere to traditional PC design. These are both undeniably fine laptops, but you only want one. Let's take a look at how they compare to help you make the right decision.

Like many of Dell's flagship laptops, the XPS 13 2-in-1 (2022) is a great product and has been for a while. However, this year we got a full redesign, turning it from a 360-degree convertible into a tablet. Now that it's effectively a Gen 1 product, there are some compromises.

The Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 for 2022 is a big departure from previous iterations, switching to a tablet form factor from the convertible design of the past. With that change also come a few others, including a 13-inch display with a 3:2 aspect ratio, and the thinnest chassis yet for the XPS family. But considering that the XPS family usually doesn't have a ton of ports, what does that mean for this new device? Does the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 still have Thunderbolt ports? Yes, and that's about it.
