Hi I'm looking for a nice school laptop thinking about Dell xps 13 and the razer blade stealth. Which one do you guys think is better and why? If you guys have a recommendation preferably a 13 inch laptop. 

(For the configuration with Dell and razer I wanted the 4k with touchscreen with 256 ssd)

Thanks!

So the Blade goes to QHD+ 3200x1800 whereas the Dell is 4k 3840x2160 but the Dell comes to be about 500 dolla' more for the extra pixels because the rest of the specs are the same.

 

 

Personally, I don't mind the QHD or 4k missing from my smaller displays. 1080p is enough for a 13inch laptop in my opinion.

Might just a actually go with a 1080 display. I just wish that Dell have a 1080p with touchscreen config.

"The Dell XPS 13. Got some extra cash, get a surface laptop."

So yeah get the Dell. If you get a surface laptop note you may need a cheap dongle. Asus also makes good laptops. It also depends, do you care how it looks?

Don't really care how it looks as long as it's pretty slim and 13inch screen preferably touchscreen too.
