The XPS line has always been their competitor to MacBooks though.
Comment on Intel and LG Display may have beaten Apple and Qualcomm with the best laptop battery life ever

With a starting price over $1500, they’re competing with Apple prices too

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.

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
