We saw incredibly close scores on the Cinebench R20 benchmark, which measures graphics performance.
MACBOOK PRO VEGA 20 VS DELL XPS 15 PRO
When it came to gaming, the MacBook Pro surprisingly took a win, running Dirt 3 at 120 frames per second, 50% faster than the XPS 15's 80 fps score.
MACBOOK PRO VEGA 20 VS DELL XPS 15 MOVIE
The MacBook Pro converted a 4K movie to 1080p in 8 minutes and 10 seconds, while the XPS 15 took a win by a small margin of victory, with a time of 8 minutes.Īpple's blazing-fast 4TB SSD posted a speedy write speed of 2,610.8 MBps on the Black Magic storage speed test, and the XPS 15 trailed behind at 2,224 MBps. On the Geekbench 4 overall performance test, the XPS 15 scored 28,882, which comes close to the MacBook Pro's 31,012. That's sadly not the case for the MacBook Pro's Butterfly switch keyboard, which is currently in its fourth iteration, having gained a reputation for being prone to failure when dust and other small particles comes into play. When we're talking about keyboards on laptops that cost over $1,000, both should be fantastic. Keyboard and Touchpad: This shouldn't be complicated
Watching a 4K version of the sci-fi movie Tears of Steel, I couldn't see any more details in a rocket ship's engine's or a beat-up mech's chassis, even when I paused to look closely. While the 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) screens in the XPS 15's 15.6-inch screen may pack more pixels than the 2880 x 1800-pixel Retina display in the MacBook Pro, that doesn't translate to increased sharpness to my eye.
That being said, the XPS 15's super-high color spectrum ratings suggest it's going into the over-saturated territory, while the MacBook Pro's got a rating that might make for more realistic color. That experience is reflected in our in-house tests, which rated the MacBook Pro as producing 114% of the sRGB color spectrum and emitting 403 nits of brightness, numbers below both the OLED XPS 15 (239% 626 nits) and the non-OLED XPS 15 (210% 416 nits). So, yes, while Apple automatically adjusts white balance to counter ambient lighting conditions (a big problem in our office that's flooded with warm fluorescent lights), that's not enough to compete. It's not that the MacBook Pro's screen is not good - in fact, it's one of the pros I brought up in my review - but that both of the XPS 15 4K screens simply outshine the MacBook's Retina TrueTone display. This continued as the gang went to a room flooded with blue light, which looked electric on the XPS 15 and more subdued on the MacBook Pro. For instance, the pink and white neon lights and American flags festooned around the Fun Fair circus popped so much on the XPS 15 that it almost looked like some signs weren't turned on for the trailer on the MacBook Pro. Watching a Stranger Things Season 3 trailer, I was surprised by how the XPS 15's screens looked so much better than the MacBook Pro's. For this face-off, we tested both the 4K OLED and 4K non-OLED versions of the XPS 15 side-by-side-by-side the 15-inch MacBook Pro, which Apple doesn't make with an OLED screen. Both laptops feature a fingerprint reader built into their power button, though Apple's is more powerful, as it works with Apple Pay.Īpple's Retina MacBook Pro screens have always been nice, but Dell is taking things to the next level with its OLED and 4K displays. Meanwhile, the Dell XPS 15 checks all of our boxes, with 2 USB 3.1 ports, a Thunderbolt 3 port, HDMI 2, a security lock slot and an increasingly rare SD memory reader.
