But here's his TLDR from Reddit and it's very accurate in my experience with them as well:
"
TLDW: I prefer the form factor of X13 over Z13 as the Z13 is a subpar tablet and subpar notebook from an ergonomics standpoint; while the X13 is a subpar tablet and an excellent notebook from an ergonomics standpoint.
The Intel is faster in many workloads, but because the power budgets are so limited, AMD actually wins a lot of benchmarks, especially when the GPU is active and the CPU power budget is limited... as AMD can do way more with 20W than intel can.
Screens are essentially identical, but Z13 seemed slightly better from a "ghosting" perspective, but it could just be manufacturing tolerances.
iGPU on X13 blows Z13 out of the water
"
I'd also add - X13 has better speakers if that's important to you, and better battery life. I think the Z13 is really cool in theory, but unless you primarily want the tablet functionality for your specific use, the X13 is a better overall product.
