Dell claims upcoming Latitude 3301 will be "world's smallest and lightest 13-inch essential business laptop"

The Latitude 3301 will succeed the Latitude 3000 designed for educational use and undemanding office tasks. The 13.3-inch laptop is joined by larger 14-inch and 15.6-inch models all launching this May.

I can get a Latitude 3301 with i5, 8gb RAM and 256 SSD and this article claims it's only good for Word and light tasks. But an XPS with the same exact specs is somehow better? Other than build quality, looks and maybe connection types, I fail to see how one will be able to handle more or less than the other.

I bought a Latitude 3301 with i5-8365U, 8gb RAM and 512 Nvme SSD. It is a good and light laptop, the quality is not as good as Apples's Mac.

There are some problems which I don't like: It is very loud when connected to AC !!!! like really loud. Sometimes there is a small coil whine.
And finally, the nvme is super slow under the load (like when it gets hot due to copying files).
