Not really that slim. Xps is also 4.5 lbs with a small footprint. Xps also uses a quad cpu. The x360 benefits are that it is a convertible with pen support. But other than that no other real benefits
XPS 15 is a conventional laptop whereas this one is a Slim 2-in-1. So XPS 15 has some better performance than this but this one is more flexible. It can actually cover almost everything better than XPS 15 apart from Gaming. You are getting 4K Display with Active Stylus support and 2-in-1 design which is necessary for people want it for Content creation, designing etc.
Then I think you got your answer. It can steam even 4K @ 60 fps perfectly. In fact for that, you don't even need the dedicated card, the integrated UHD 620 can do that easily.

Thanks. Would this video card be able to stream content to an external 1080p TV without screen lag?

I thought that should be dependent on your Router speed and what wireless device you are using like Chromecast, Microsoft Wireless Streamer. The card is perfectly capable of decoding 4K Video content at 60 fps.

The word stream may have been confusing. I meant using HDMI or thunderbolt or whichever port makes the most sense these days. I have an older Dell XPS 15 and the video card struggles with sending blu ray quality 1080p content to an external screen. Is this generally not a concern in the year 2017?

It's important to mention that this is the first U-series Intel Processor that Intel has offered with 4 cores / 8 threads. So while it doesn't clock as high as an i7-7700HQ, it does have the same number of threads which can be great for multitasking and such. It's definitely a step forward in performance for ultrabooks.

What did I say in the post which you are quoting? Did I say that XPS is less powerful or something like that? In fact hardware and gaming performance is stronger in XPS 15. I also said that the benefit is having a Convertible with 4K Touchscreen and Active Pen support, which is very welcome bonus to Graphics designers, content creators.
What is the point of stating the same thing?
