I had an xps 7390 2-in-1. Horrible experience overall. Fancy laptop, with great (toucht) screen. But... unreliable: does not go to sleep when needed (and yes I tried everything) and produces a blue screen at unpredictable moments. Dell support replace the full HW inside, without benefit. No xps anymore for me. I will go for the latitude.

Tough matchup. The Dell Latitude 7450 is nice competition, but the Dell XPS 14 slightly wins out due to some key categories. Those are: better fps, screen brightness, GPU drivers, and RAM speed. There are some pros for the Dell Latitude 7450: Better ports, better WiFi, better Bluetooth, better web camera, and lighter to carry around.
