Pros and Cons

Razer Book 13

Strengths

The Razer Book delivers with the best on-the-go performance you can get in an ultrabook aside from going with one of the new M1 max
It has a beautiful 16 by 10 display which not only gives us more real estate but it also gets rid of that ugly chin and because of that we also have super slim bezels on the sides
Brightness went from an average 350 nits to a class leading 500 nits and with that reflectivity was also really cut down so this machine is perfect for use in bright rooms and outdoors
It has a new vapor chamber cooling runs cooler and quieter than the XPS as well because of that under 100 cpu load in Cinebench the Razer Book is able to run faster and score significantly higher than the XPS 13
The performance did not go down like most windows laptops it actually went up a little bit, and yes we did make sure all of the throttling options were turned off on that Dell

Weaknesses

It has poor speakers built into the laptop itself, which is disappointing considering the high-end specs
The display doesn't have DCI-P3 wide colors that Apple and Dell are offering so if you're a high-end photo or video editor wanting more than sRGB on the internal display keep that in mind
It's not as portable as some other ultrabooks due to its size and weight, making it less ideal for traveling
The battery life is not exceptional compared to some of its competitors, especially when using demanding applications
The high-end model has a relatively small 256GB SSD, which may not be enough storage space for heavy users

Asus ProArt PZ13

Strengths

The OLED screen provides a great value compared to Microsoft's offering
The keyboard case is included, which adds value to the device
The pen is okay for everyday use but may frustrate artists who require high accuracy and line smoothness
The device comes with 1TB of storage, which is more than the base configuration of the Surface Pro
Adobe and other software work well on the device

Weaknesses

The pen technology (WPP) may not be suitable for artists who require high accuracy and line smoothness
The device's price starts at $1,110, which is higher than the base configuration of the Surface Pro
The Surface Pro has a more accurate and stable pen, but it requires purchasing a separate keyboard to charge the pen
The storage upgrade on the Surface Pro costs $200, which is more expensive than upgrading the storage on the ASUS ProArt PZ13
The device's initial activation rate may not be suitable for artists who require high precision
