Our Verdict

MacBook Air 15 (M4) vs XPS 13 (9340)

Apple MacBook Air 15 M4 outperforms Dell XPS 13 in GPU and sustained efficiency, with its 10-core M4 GPU and 9W sustained power draw versus Intel’s 24W PL1 and Arc 8-core iGPU that throttles under load. Choose the MacBook for video editors needing 16GB unified memory and 15.5-hour real-world battery life on 66.5Wh, or coders benefiting from macOS-native toolchains and zero-fan silence. Pick the Dell XPS 13 for developers needing 32GB LPDDR5x RAM and Wi-Fi 7 BE200 for high-bandwidth cloud workflows, plus lighter 1.211kg portability despite 55Wh battery limiting usage to ~9 hours. In UAE at AED 5799 vs AED 4299, the Dell wins on value because it offers double the RAM and Wi-Fi 7 for AED 1500 less; in India at ₹144900 vs ₹134990, the Dell wins on value because 32GB RAM and Wi-Fi 7 justify the ₹9910 price gap.
