I agree with the XPS trackpad issue. There is no noticeable difference between the two otherwise? I think that the XPS is about one pound lighter. And also the screen resolution is HD as opposed to QHD for the XPS. I am told that the XPS has more bezel space.
As to the weight, that's probably correct. Remember, I'm using the Latitude 7390, the 13" model.
I'm looking at Dell's site right now, and it looks like the Latitude 7490 has HD (1366 x 768) and FHD (1920 x 1080) options, while the XPS has FHD and Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) options.
The XPS has a much smaller bezel, but that comes at the cost of having the webcam below the screen rather than above the screen where pretty much every other laptop puts it. Personally, I don't care about the bezel *or* the webcam. :)
The Latitude 7490 with specs that I quoted is priced at $1410 but that may be somewhat less because of bulk purchasing. This is the standard issue for our work. If we want XPS 13 with similar specs, it costs around $2000 with 4-year warranty (which is a requirement for a purchase to be approved). Are you sure that your specs are similar to what I am pricing -- 512 GB SSD, 16GB RAM? $850 seems a bargain, it looks!
No, my specs aren't those. What I meant was that at my spec (8th Gen i5, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD), I recall the XPS being *much* less expensive. The warranty might actually explain that, since adding a 4-year on the XPS is, by itself, more than $400. The Latitudes look like they default to longer warranties.
