Low spec Surface Book 2 vs Xps 13 (2018) for student
Dell XPS all the way. The Surface is nice but I see it more as a consumption device than a productivity device. I know several people with the Surface and the largest annoyance is figuring out how to use it like a laptop - the stand makes it difficult to use it as a traditional laptop on your lap but is fine on a desk.
I'd only recommend a Surface if you have a specific need for the pen - I've tried to use it as a way to take notes on other (similar) devices and keep falling back to just typing notes out - very rarely have I used a pen even though I've been a user of touchscreen devices since 2003 (PDAs) and loved it back then. You end up paying more for the form factor of the Surface than you do for anything else - so unless you have a specific need for that form factor, then I'd say go with the XPS. The XPS is, in my eyes, one of the top rated laptops on the market right now.
