Pros and Cons

Dell Latitude 15 5530

Strengths

Dell's emphasis on using recycled and renewable materials for its devices is commendable, making it an eco-friendly option.
The laptop uses bioplastics as well as recycled plastics and reused carbon fiber, leading to a reduced carbon footprint.
The typing experience is excellent with long key travel and clicky feedback, making it ideal for office work.
The IO coverage is supercharged with two Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB Type-A 3.2 Gen1 ports, LAN port, HDMI 2.0 port, audio jack, and micro SD card reader.
The battery life is promising, lasting up to 11 hours and 7 minutes of web browsing or 8 hours and 33 minutes of video playback.

Weaknesses

The keyboard does not have an optional backlight, which might be a drawback for some users.
There's no spill resistance on the keyboard, unlike some other competitors in the Lenovo range.
The touchpad is weirdly surfaced, hindering smoothness when gliding on it.
The display selection includes a 768p panel, which is not ideal, and only the Full HD IPS panel and 4K UHD IPS panel are recommended.
While the laptop has good cooling setup, the CPU isn't made for continuous heavy work, with temperatures and power consumption staying relatively low during stress tests.

Dell XPS 13 9310

Strengths

The Dell XPS 13 9310 has a fresh new design with intel tiger lake action stuffed inside.
It's definitely one of the better ultra portables that you'll find out there.
The laptop goes from fast to sleep to ready for action in literally as long as it takes you to scan your finger or face.
Benchmarking with the likes of cinebench throw up quite respectable scores for a machine with an integrated gpu.
You can do some respectable amounts of gaming on the dell xps 13, although not too demanding games may run well even on ultra settings.
The wireless performance is strong too with wi-fi six on board which is great news if you've upgraded your home router already.
The battery life is pretty damn decent, usually dragging a solid sort of four and a half to five hours of use out of it from a full charge.

Weaknesses

The laptop's bottom edge does get a little bit warm at times although thankfully not to chestnut roast levels.
Despite the crazy thin finish, you do actually have two internal fans to help keep that hot air moving out of the laptop, which may cause some noise.
Although the 4k video editing experience was fine with patience, it took a little while to process video things like that.
The original doom reboot rather optimistically wanted to run on the ultra settings which of course was a stuttery mess.
The built-in mics and the laptop as well do not have a privacy switch which is slightly annoying.
You will look a bit grainy if you don't get some decent light on you when using the 720p hd webcam.
Intel's integrated iris xc graphics may not be as powerful as dedicated GPUs, limiting gaming performance to somewhat smooth but lower frame rates.
