Pros and Cons

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.

Dell Pro 14

Strengths

Dell actually listened to user and business feedback and made a lot of minor tweaks, resulting in a great computer for business.
The laptop has got decent battery life, upgraded performance, well-controlled temperatures, and is very quiet.
It's still very well built and very serviceable.
The serviceable USB or Thunderbolt port makes it easier for the Microsoft environment.
Dell integrated their Dell management system with Intune, making it easy to manage fleets of laptops and desktop computers.
The laptop has a nice curvature in terms of just the corners, making it comfortable to hold.

Weaknesses

The laptop is not as thin as some other models, but it's still relatively compact compared to others.
It doesn't have any major changes or surprises, just minor tweaks and improvements.
Some users might find it a bit thick, especially if they're used to thinner laptops.
There's no mention of any significant upgrades or new features that would set it apart from other business laptops.
The laptop doesn't have any major gaming capabilities or high-end specs, making it more suitable for general business use.
Some users might find the design a bit plain and unexciting compared to other laptops in its class.
