Two laptops in strong competition with each other especially on school, university and college campuses the Dell XPS 13 is built for the outdoors with an Anti-reflection coating while the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 comes with a 23% higher resolution!

Both laptops are perfect for the school grounds but both individually unique, If it was down to me I would be going for the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 for a few of the simple extras including that it is compatible with Wi-Fi 6 and is both LED backlit and a higher resolution display, I think I will miss the touch screen that the Dell XPS 13 offers though!
