Pros and Cons

Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7640

Strengths

It's a very nice laptop, I think you could actually probably upgrade stuff it does have the screws on the back you can pull this thing apart and uh possibly upgrade stuff
It has a cooling fans on the bottom very very nice laptop
The keys are backlit and they're a little bright let's go ahead and turn my light off I don't know if you guys can see see that there but they are back lit so super cool there
It does have some vents here on the side on the back uh that looked really really nice I like the color it does look gray but I'm going to tell you it's it's like a light blue
The Dell logo looks very nice and it has a light blue-ish gray color
It would make a great birthday gift, present for Mother's Day, um a present for your wife your kids a graduation present going to college this would be perfect
It was strong enough and powerful enough for me to run DJ Sado super happy with it

Weaknesses

The display is not 4K but hey it's perfect enough for what I'm doing
There are two different kinds of charging ports, which can be confusing
I wish the backlit keys were a bit brighter, but they're just right for a darker room
It was pricey when I ordered it ($1,100), and even now it's still quite expensive ($1,500)
The laptop has some vents on the side and back that might get in the way of your lap or desk
It doesn't have any standout features compared to other laptops in its class
I wish I had done a full review before using it for my gigs this year

Dell XPS 13 9345

Strengths

This machine is stupidly small, it's crazy how small this thing is right, uh in a world where 14-inch laptops are kind of replacing 13in in some cases this one really bucks the trend by being as Tiny as you can imagine.
The Snapdragon X Elite processor provides better battery life, pushing less resolution and using less power, making it significantly better than the Intel version.
Performance is topnotch, benchmarks really fast on things like geek bench and experientially it is very Snappy, it's nice so it can do everything your Intel Core Ultra 7 version of this could do and probably a little bit faster.
The base model with full HD Plus display is not bad, it's full srgb coverage, it's not horrible looking and it's 500 nits for brightness.

Weaknesses

Limited ports, which the same negatives exist for the Intel model too
The keyboard can be a problem, if you're okay with the limitation of the ports and the keyboard.
The battery life may decrease when running x86 emulation, it'll hit the battery life a bit more but still this is significantly better than the Intel version.
The speakers are not impressive, I mean it's okay but that part's not woohoo, due to the small chassis.
