I went and tried to price this at Dell's site. This deal is better than the current SAVE17. The SAVE17 is slightly cheaper, but this deal has a 2 year warranty, Dell's has a one year. If you get this in a tax free state then Costco is definitely better.

Most of the newer/latest Laptops are moving away from that "Widescreen" 16:9 screen ratio (good for movies), and towards 16:10 or even taller 3:2 screen ratio (Microsoft Surface Book). This extra height on the screen is better for work/productivity, and web browsing (less scrolling).
Because the Dell XPS 13 has a lower capacity battery (remember it's thinner), the battery life is not as long as on the HP Spectre X360. So as you can see, there are a few pros for the HP, and a few pros for the Dell. I personally think that that 16:10 screen on the Dell gives it the edge. Other minor difference--no USB Type A port on the Dell, one on the HP. Also, even though they might have identical specs (processor), the Dell has a better thermal design that allows it to eke better performance from the CPU.
Battery life is hugely important to me. So my ideal would be the Dell, with the HP battery life. Alas that doesn't exist. So I went with the Dell. The HP is highly rated and preferred by some. I guess it boils down to personal preference and which particular thing(s) are most important to you.

I did look at that as well.
I needed to buy 2 Laptops (Kids), and I got a good deal on the XPS (not this deal from Costco)...but refurbished from the Dell Outlet on eBay. So the price was substantially lower than what I think I can get a Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 9 for. All things being equal (price etc), I think your suggestion might be the best pick. How low has the X1 Carbon Gen 9 gone for in previous sales etc? I know the Lenovo website has ever changing prices and sales, and time limited prices. So I kinda wrote it off as out of my budget...but maybe I just looked the wrong time?
Also, I spent some time checking out Lenovo's offerings (based on Smilepak's suggestion). The X1 Carbon Gen 9 looks like a wonderful machine, but it is not a 2 in 1 (like the two you are considering). They do offer a X1 Yoga model that is a 2 in 1, but that is actually slightly heavier than the two you are considering (just over 3 pounds). Obviously, you can get a machine with similar specs for half the price of these options, if you are willing to setting for something much heavier. But the fact that you are looking at these two, means size is weight is an important factor. After more extensive time playing around with the XPS 13, it gets my nod (for what that's worth).

Lenovo tends to rotate their prices and they ridiculously price it high at times. But I've seen the X1 prices around 1300 before. So it is a weekly check site waiting game.
