Dell's New Laptop Undercuts Apple's Price and Adds a Feature Apple Skipped

Dell's XPS 13 laptop launched at $699 with a touchscreen—a feature that lets you control it with your finger, like a tablet. Apple's MacBook Neo costs $599 but lacks this capability. For students, Dell cuts the price to $599, matching Apple's student discount. Both companies are chasing the same buyers: students and young professionals deciding on a laptop for years to come.
