Dell reveals its thinnest and lightest XPS 13 at just $699 to upstage the MacBook Neo

Dell unveiled a redesigned XPS 13 at Computex 2026, starting at $699 and $599 for students.

The new model aims at Apple’s MacBook Neo with a thinner, lighter design and stronger value.

Key upgrades include a 2.5K touchscreen, 120Hz display, Wi‑Fi 7, a backlit keyboard, and Intel Core Ultra chips.

Dell is clearly pushing the XPS 13 into a lower price tier while adding premium features to pressure Apple’s budget laptop strategy.
