nowadays that, frankly, keeping track of what\u2019s new and worth purchasing has become ever more challenging.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s simply too much of <em>everything<\/em> screaming at us, both on the shelves of our local IT shops <em>and<\/em> the seemingly endless list of options on websites like Best Buy, Amazon, NewEgg, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Two specific lines of business-oriented laptops still stand out, though, and it\u2019s for a very good reason: <strong>ThinkPad and XPS laptops are still amongst the most sought-after in the Windows realm, and it\u2019s been like that for <em>years<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re the ones most folks tend to notice almost immediately, albeit for slightly different reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Lenovo's ThinkPad laptops are geared more towards the consummate business professionals \u2014 they're sleek and beautiful but also somewhat antique and retro. <em>Timeless<\/em> would perhaps be the aptest description.<\/p>\n<p>They don't gravitate towards contemporary design or transient trends and fads: <strong>they're built to last and to get the job done \u2014 not impress someone at your local coffee shop.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dell's XPS line, on the other hand, offers an astoundingly beautiful blend of... <em>everything<\/em>, really. They're for business professionals but also creatives, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>They're amongst the most jaw-droppingly attractive laptops money can buy, with their bafflingly slim bezels, carbon-fiber palm rests, immaculate machining, and displays so bright they could burn your retinas.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re unforgettable in every possible sense of the word and are most often compared to <a href=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/best-macbook-pro-alternatives\/\">Apple\u2019s MacBooks<\/a> for a very good reason.<\/p>\n<p>As such, they, too, are amongst the very best Windows laptops on the market.<\/p>\n<p>Answering the opening question, therefore (the ThinkPad vs. XPS one), feels like an impossible endeavor. They\u2019re similar <em>enough<\/em> to be compared and yet wholly different in <em>many<\/em> key areas.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a deeper dive into the pros and cons of each and, in doing so, help you make a more informed purchasing decision!<\/p>\n<p><noscript><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CO19amhwpVI\" width=\"860\" height=\"515\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/noscript><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"860\" height=\"515\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CO19amhwpVI\" class=\" lazyload\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lenovo_ThinkPad_-_What_Makes_Them_So_Great\"><\/span>Lenovo ThinkPad \u2014 What Makes Them So Great?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whatever they might lack in aesthetics, ThinkPads more than make up for in sheer reliability and toughness.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19923\" style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><noscript><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19923\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19923\" src=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2022\/09\/Lenovo-Thinkpad-Showcase.jpg\" alt=\"Lenovo Thinkpad Showcase\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2022\/09\/Lenovo-Thinkpad-Showcase.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2022\/09\/Lenovo-Thinkpad-Showcase-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2022\/09\/Lenovo-Thinkpad-Showcase-1024x540.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2022\/09\/Lenovo-Thinkpad-Showcase-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2022\/09\/Lenovo-Thinkpad-Showcase-1536x810.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\"><\/noscript><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19923\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19923 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%202048%201080%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Lenovo Thinkpad Showcase\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%202048%201080%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2022\/09\/Lenovo-Thinkpad-Showcase.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2022\/09\/Lenovo-Thinkpad-Showcase-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2022\/09\/Lenovo-Thinkpad-Showcase-1024x540.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2022\/09\/Lenovo-Thinkpad-Showcase-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2022\/09\/Lenovo-Thinkpad-Showcase-1536x810.jpg 1536w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2022\/09\/Lenovo-Thinkpad-Showcase.jpg\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-19923\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lenovo.com\/pk\/en\/laptops\/thinkpad\/t-series\/c\/t-series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lenovo<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Build quality. <\/strong>ThinkPad laptops are built to last.
