Asus VivoBook 17 M712 vs Dell XPS 13

Verdict

The Asus VivoBook 17 M712 is a good laptop for its price, offering a 17 inch screen, light weight, thin design, and great tactile feel to the keyboard. It is fast and has strong wifi, with good sound and screen quality. However, the keyboard is not backlit and the letters are silver on silver, making it difficult to read in low light. Additionally, some users have reported blue screens and shutdowns, and the warranty only works in the USA.

Verdict

The Dell XPS 13 is a premium laptop that can be configured with a touchscreen. It has a good quality keyboard and large keys with less gaps, and low backlight bleed. It also has an overall good quality, though it may have some issues with difficult monitor set ups. It is compatible with Linux and comes with Thunderbolt charging capabilities. However, it is on the expensive side.
