  And

  To get the best battery life, you’ll need to settle for 1920 x 1200

  On a 16 inch screen that’s gross

    To be fair to Dell, Apple’s high-resolution displays might have toned-down resolutions too. The Mac Neo ships with a lower default resolution than what it can fully handle, if I understand the settings right.

      Still 219 PPI compared to 146 PPI at 500 nits brightness for $500. Granted that iPad chip is going to crawl on some stuff. and the MacBook Air, which is likely far more performant than either is like $400 less than the dell. I enjoy all competition but intel chips are still way less performant than the m series in terms of power consumption

  The XPS line has always been their competitor to MacBooks though.

    People don’t understand that Apple just never chose to compete in the $500 laptop range, until, well, this year…

      The least expensive current-gen MacBook after the Neo is $1100 (less if you buy a previous generation, which is apparently common practice); the Dell in the article is $1750.

      Apple’s other products are expensive, but this is a whole new level of it.
