I can chime in bit as I purchased a Dell XPS 13 and then returned it and then got this one (but the AMD version).
The main reason I returned the Dell XPS is that it heats up a lot. Surface temperatures reach 107 which is definitely very uncomfortable.
Also, this laptop costs significantly lesser than the XPS 13. I don't find this laptop any lesser premium than the XPS. This laptop is a fantastic bargain for a premium ultrabook while also saving you hundreds.

Advantage Dell XPS:
1. Fantastic glass touch pad. Better than the more ordinary aluminium touch pad on the Lenovo. Why is glass better? Even sweaty fingers glide easily without sticking on glass touchpads.
2. Better (deeper) keys - I like keys with more travel, this Lenovo laptop's keys are on the shallower side but not super shallow. They still have a nice clicky feel to them though and I can type very fast on it.
3. IR camera for facial recognition login. (Though the fingerprint login in Lenovo works very well)
4. Slightly smaller.
5. A very comprehensive BIOS compared to Lenovo's basic BIOS setting. However, there is a big bug in Dell BIOS. I hate it that lid opening automatically turns on the laptop. There is no way I know to bypass this bug in Dell BIOS right now.
6. Has option of keyboard light automatically turn on demand.
7. Best screen in the industry vs Lenovo which has a moderately good screen.

Advantage Lenovo 13s:
1. Significantly cheaper for perceptibly the same build quality.
2. Has a couple of status LED lights (laptop is sleeping vs on. Battery levels, etc). I may be wrong but I don't recollect Dell XPS to have LED light indicators for these status.
3. Camera physical shutter.
4. Cheaper extended warranty purchase opportunity.
5. More ports than the measly selection on XPS - USB A and HDMI 2.0 are present ...whoo hooo!
6. Stays much cooler to the touch compared to the XPS (but that could be a function of AMD vs Intel)
7. Windows 10 Professional edition.

I would actually recommend considering the Ryzen version of this laptop if possible. That is a steal for the tremendous performance you get. Yes, it won't have TB4 but it still has USB Gen 2 which is pretty enough for most common office type work (like using docking station with 4k 60Hz capability). Also the Ryzen version comes with a rare m2 2242 form factor SSD making it hard to upgrade beyond the 512 GB. The intel version also comes with that form factor, but it may be possible to upgrade to a regular 2280 form factor SSD by removing the dummy adapter (this needs to be confirmed - just my suspicion)

WTH? This is a crazy good deal. It is an exceptional deal. I can't believe you can get this device with these specs for this price. And there are hardly any compromises. 16:10, ips qhd+ display, half a tb of really fast ssd storage, 16gb of really quick ddr4 memory, TB4 port, full size hdmi port, best in class integrated graphics, really small bezels, lenovo keyboard with an actually correctly-sized right shift key, less than three pounds -- for under $750. And a huge perk you won't see most places is that these 11th gen intel chips, if not crippled by lenovo, are as fast on battery power (in high power mode) as they are plugged in. I'm not a windows user, nor am I in the market for a laptop, but this is the best deal for an ultrabook that I've seen in quite a while. I would be all in if I was in the market. It even has a good size battery for this form factor.

I kinda regret I don't need another laptop around. Great specs per price.
Few more specs: Aspect Ratio: 16:10, Color Gamut: 100% sRGB, Weight: 1.26 kg (2.78 lbs)

Awesome specs and build quality for the specs. That aspect ratio is rare and is much more useful for actual office work.

Too bad my Dell Latitude 7390 is still kicking strong, otherwise I'd be really tempted.

I had the similar model with i7. The battery life is like 6-7 hours. The fingerprint reader isn't good but like many others.

Otherwise I don't have other complaints

Its a ultraportable...not supposed to have one. Asus g14 is closest to portable with a discrete card.

While you can get laptops with discrete graphics around this price, the screen (in terms of color reproduction and brightness, but not refresh rate) and build quality are going to be far inferior to this.
