Dell is inviting the MacBook Neo comparisons. In a blog post, the company calls it out by name, calling it a "capable machine." But the company also says its XPS is a superior device: "Where Dell differs is what we think premium means at this price point and what we were willing to build to deliver it," the post reads.
The company points out that the XPS 13 is lighter than the Neo, has faster USB ports, a touch screen, and more configuration options that make it more powerful (albeit likely at a much higher price). We'll have to see if that will make students and young professionals choose Windows, or if Apple's ecosystem still proves a draw.
It's great to see Dell get into the mid-range segment with a premium device, rather than relying on its Inspirons. We're looking forward to testing one when it releases in June.
