The Dell XPS 13 is the first real competitor to the MacBook Neo

What happened

Dell's last XPS 13 was meant to be a farewell before the company sunset the entire XPS brand.

But it was a bitter ending, and an overpriced one as well.

Earlier this year, Dell resurrected the XPS name with the excellent (and very expensive) XPS 14 and 16.
