Dell’s XPS 13 redefines the budget premium PC race against the Neo

Dell’s 2026 XPS 13 positions itself as the first strong challenger to Apple’s MacBook Neo, offering a premium, ultra-thin chassis, a 13.4-inch 500-nits touchscreen with 120Hz, solid keyboard/trackpad, and fast SSD in a $699–$999 range.
