Pros and Cons

Dell Latitude 14 5431

Strengths

The laptop focuses solely on performance, putting great effort into taking care of the Core i7-1270P.
The construction feels good to the touch, utilizing recycled plastics and carbon fiber which is better for the environment.
The keyboard lacks a numpad but is otherwise great for typing with long key travel and relatively clicky feedback.
The touchpad is accurate and responsive.
The laptop is packed with ports, including two Thunderbolt 4 ports, an optional smart card reader, and more.
The speakers provide decent quality audio with no major deviations across all frequencies.
The laptop is efficient, lasting for 13 hours of web browsing or 9 hours and 5 minutes of video playback.

Weaknesses

The display doesn't have the best color and brightness, but can be upgraded to other versions suitable for Creator work.
The keyboard lacks a numpad, which might be inconvenient for some users.
The touchpad is not the biggest we've seen.
The base heats up only up to 42 degrees Celsius during intense use.
There's only one m.2 slot for generation for SSDs, limiting upgrade options.
The display profiles provided by our lab can be helpful, but might not be suitable for all users or workloads.
The webcam resolution is limited to 720p, which might be a drawback for some.

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.
