The X1 Carbon largely remedies the shortcomings of the Dell XPS 13 OLED. For example, because it includes USB-A ports and an HDMI output in addition to two USB-C connections, it's considerably more adaptable with peripherals than the Dell XPS 13 OLED. Lenovo also has a few more privacy-friendly features, such as a built-in shutter for the camera. But the X1 may be considerably more expensive depending on whether or not Lenovo has any sales going on. According to many reviewers, Dell's laptop offers a significantly longer battery life than the X1.
