The Dell XPS 13 and Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon are probably two of the best laptops in the market. Both the laptops share similarities in areas like fast performance, great display, lasting battery, and sleek design.

But there are differences in both of them. Although not significant, XPS is better with battery life; XPS13 lasts a few hours longer than the X1 Carbon.
