Dell unveiled the XPS 13 at Computex 2026, positioning it as a direct rival to the Apple MacBook Neo. The 13‑inch ultraportable boasts an aluminium unibody that is thinner and 20% lighter than the Neo.

The display delivers 2.5K resolution at 100% DCI‑P3 with anti‑glare, while two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports double as chargers. A 53 Wh battery outpaces the Neo’s 36.5 Wh, promising all‑day endurance.

Under the hood, an Intel Core 5 320 “Wildcat Lake” processor powers the machine, paired with Xe3 iGPU and 8‑ or 16‑GB LPDDR5X‑7467 memory. Storage ranges from 512 GB M.2 Gen 4 NVMe, double the Neo’s 256 GB.

Dell prices the model at $600 for students and $700 normally, offering a compelling alternative for budget‑conscious consumers who seek performance, portability, and battery life.
