    Starting at $1750, they’re competing with surpassing Apple in the price department

    (Edit: added right price)

      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 $1099 base instead of $1700+ for the dell. I enjoy all competition but intel chips are still way less performant than the m series in terms of power consumption

        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.
