Classic dell to compete on tech specs, but miss the idea of what makes Apple what it is.

I don’t need a neo, but I would get one because the hardware is the absolute best quality, and everything works with little to no issues. I don’t want windows hello, I want the metal body, great keyboard, screen, etc.

I like windows way better than macOS, but Mac hardware only ever is comparable to windows surface for me.

not only does this miss the point of why the neo is special, id be curious to see how unusable windows running on 8gb of ram is.

dell’s xps hardware quality can also be dubious, multiple people I know (including myself) have had issues in years past with high end XPS machines. If they’re trying to meet a low price point and can’t cut costs on the enclosure it’ll be interesting to see how the reliability of the internals fares

Loud fans and 4 hours of battery life?
