Our Verdict
Dell XPS 16 (2024)
ASUS ProArt P16 H7606 (2024)
The ASUS ProArt P16 H7606 (2024) is better than the Dell XPS 16 (2024) for most uses. The ASUS provides a better user experience; this is mainly because the Dell's zero-lattice keyboard, capacitive function row, and invisible touchpad can take some time to get used, and even then, you might get more typos, as there's no space between the keys. You also get better performance on the ASUS, as its AMD Ryzen CPU outperforms the Dell's Intel Meteor Lake CPU, and its NVIDIA GPUs run at a higher wattage.
