How does the 2019 Dell XPS 13 stack up against the 2018 Retina MacBook Air? The Dell XPS 13 9380 weighs 2.7 pounds, slightly less than the MacBook Air Retina at 2.75 pounds. MacBook Air Retina: I've always liked Apple's Butterfly keyboards (that puts me in a distinct minority) and the third-generation Butterfly keyboard on the Retina MacBook Air is the best yet. Battery life:Dell XPS 13 9380: Dell has gotten very good at squeezing good battery life out of the quad-core/4K-display-packing XPS 9380. That said, Apple nailed the long-overdue update to the MacBook Air and I would recommend it highly to anyone looking for a replacement to their aging prior-generation MacBook Air.
