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)

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