XPS 13 I think you're referring. That definitely is smaller, lighter and has better build and brighter display. But performance wise, this is way ahead as this has a far powerful i5-1240P vs U series i5 in that model. And 8GB Ram is a very limiting factor today, you will be limited to basic tasks only.

CPUs dont make noise... How often the fans are used, what speed, how loud the laptop is, all depends on the laptop manufacturer and model. At 30w nominal power these CPUs are easy to cool under normal use.

Idk what y'all are smoking. But 8gb is still plenty for an average user.

I couldn't recommend 8gb of ram to anyone nowadays. Even a browser will eat through that fairly quickly.

Another advantage for some is that buying through walmart you have option of free return to walmart stores.

Not mentioned in OP, but this is a touch screen for those that want that sort of thing. Spec List
