Dell XPS 13 vs. MacBook Neo: A Surprising Upset

The Dell XPS 13 matches the MacBook Neo’s $699 entry price (or $599 for students) while weighing 2.2 lb, half a pound lighter, and offering a 13.4-inch IPS panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate, touchscreen, and higher Adobe RGB/P3 color saturation. Its keyboard includes backlighting and its trackpad rivals the Neo’s, giving the XPS 13 an overall advantage in portability, display quality, and input ergonomics.
