Pros and Cons

Dell Inspiron 13 5320

Strengths

The design is sleek, compact, and nice with a quintessential D design and an aluminium build all around.
It has almost all the ports you need in a work laptop, including USB-A, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, and HDMI port.
The laptop feels very solid and durable despite being lightweight at 1.25 kgs.
The 1080p webcam is better than most 720p webcams out there and has a physical privacy shutter.
The high-resolution QHD+ screen looks sharp and crisp with accurate colors (100% sRGB coverage) although the matte finish impacts color vibrancy slightly.
The Dual speakers get pretty loud and have good detailed output, making them suitable for multimedia use.
The laptop's performance is consistent whether on power adapter or battery life, handling casual to intensive work without issues.

Weaknesses

There is minor flex on the keyboard but it doesn't affect overall usability.
The keyboard key travel is a bit low but the key caps are well-shaped and there is ample space between keys.
The display's matte finish affects color vibrancy slightly, although different display modes can be chosen in the Dell CinemaColor app.
RAM is not upgradeable, only the SSD can be upgraded to 1 TB.
Battery life ranged between 6-8 hours which might not be enough for some users.
The laptop's design while sleek and portable, may not stand out in terms of innovation or originality.
There are some pre-installed apps that might not be useful to everyone, like McAfee and SmartBite.

Dell Pro 13 Plus 2-in-1

Strengths

Having the actual IO ports so I don't have to carry adapters with me is absolutely a fantastic thing.
It's sturdy and robust, perfect for business laptops that are treated like rental cars.
The serviceable Thunderbolt port makes it easy to manage for IT departments without having to unenroll and reenroll.
It does a great job of calming jobs in terms of what it is specifically designed for (executives, presentations, word processing, spreadsheets).
The pressure-sensitive digital stylus is very reactive and quick.
Dell actually listened to client feedback and produced this laptop based on their needs.

Weaknesses

It may not be the thinnest thing (but Dell acknowledges that's okay because they want ports).
The glass surface can get sticky with moist fingers, making it difficult to draw smooth lines.
Disconnects may occur when drawing lightly with the digital stylus.
Some users may need to get used to the disconnects and light touch requirements of the stylus.
It's not ideal for tasks that require intense processing power or graphics performance.
The design prioritizes ports over thinness, which may be a trade-off for some users.
