The Snapdragon chip in the HP will KILL the budget Intel chip in the Dell, both for performance and gaming. The HP is larger and heavier than the XPS 13, but not so much as to be inconvenient. The OLED display is a bonus on the HP, but is lower resolution that the 13" 2560x1600 panel on the Dell (which will look much sharper than the HP). The HP has more ports to plug things in...the Dell has 2 of the same USB-C ports and that's it. The HP has 24GB RAM vs 16GB on the XPS.

The XPS 13 battery, according to reviews I've watched, last >20 hours. This HP is appears to be a Best Buy exclusive and I don't see any battery run times other than mentions of "incredible battery life", and "all day".

Then there is the downside of being on the bleeding edge with Snapdragon -- compatibility. I have a Zenbook A16 with the almost-top-end Snapdragon and so far, haven't really run into compatibility issues (and I really try to stay native ARM64 for my apps with little emulation). So you might not have too much of a problem. I will say that with the Snapdragon CPU running Windows on ARM, Windows is much snappier than the regular x64 versions of Windows that everyone has.

If you do any light gaming, you'll appreciate the Snapdragon GPU vs the low-end Intel graphics on the XPS.

So, as you see, there are lots of different things to consider and decide what your priorities are. There is no "better buy" until you decide what is important to you.

Community Reviews

The OmniBook X 16 stands out as a fast Snapdragon laptop with strong performance for the price, 24GB of RAM, and better light gaming potential than budget Intel rivals. The OLED touch display and extra ports add appeal, and the Windows on ARM experience is described as snappier than regular x64 Windows. The main tradeoffs are the flat keyboard feel, no numpad on the 16 inch model, and some uncertainty around OLED brightness and app compatibility. It looks like a capable all around pick if those compromises fit your needs.

  • The OmniBook X 16 can feel really fast for the $899.99 price point.

    skardem

  • The Snapdragon CPU and Snapdragon GPU can make Windows on ARM feel snappier and support light gaming.

    Hat-Trick

  • The HP OmniBook X 16 offers more ports than the Dell XPS 13 for connecting accessories.

    Hat-Trick

  • The OLED display can look better in dark mode or with content that suits OLED brightness behavior.

    Hat-Trick

  • The OmniBook X 16 lacks a numpad, which can be inconvenient for number-heavy work.

    carlosgo22

  • The keyboard design in the OmniBook X line can feel too flat to reliably locate keys by touch.

    novasian

  • The OmniBook X 16 may have display brightness specs that seem low, especially around ~300 nits.

    spkay31

  • The OmniBook X 16 may require HDMI workarounds because it can be thin enough to omit an HDMI port.

If possible, try to find a Best Buy near you to test this laptop out. For a 16" laptop, this does not have the numpad. There are other Omnibook X laptops that have the full keyboard. With regards to if this is a better laptop or not, you will need to provide the full XPS 13 part number to understand the specs to compare.

There are HDMI ports on incredibly thin laptops -- two examples I own are the 2.5lb 16" Asus Zenbook A16 and the incredibly thin Asus Zenbook S 16. If you have room to fit a USB-A port, you can fit a HDMI port.

The XPS specs are easy if you go to the Dell website. $800 is the student price of the base model but with 16GB instead of 8GB. There are two ways to customize it (not counting color)...everything else is fixed.

In many cases, the large nits ratings on OLED's are in HDR mode and SDR mode is much lower. My 32" QD-OLED monitor, with a majority white screen is below 300 nits. The more white there is, the dimmer the whites are.

So wile 300 nits sounds low, it really depends on what the content is on the screen. I would bet games or if you run Windows in dark mode, it will look much better.
