Setting that aside, the Dell 14 complements Intel's Wildcat Lake processors with a 41 Wh battery, M.2 storage and user-upgradeable DDR5-5600 RAM. Furthermore, Dell includes a 1,920 x 1,200-pixel IPS panel with 400 nits peak brightness, a 60 Hz refresh rate and 45% NTSC colour space coverage.

All this hardware sits within a 1.28 kg housing that measures 313 x 222 x 11~18 mm. Pricing starts at AUD 1,149, €749 and £649 (~$875) with 8 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD. Alternatively, one can configure 16 GB or 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage.

In that sense, the Dell 14 is another alternative to the MacBook Neo. Moreover, the Dell 14 undercuts the XPS 13, even after factoring in student discount. However, the new 14-inch laptop is not available in North America yet. Please see Dell's website for more details.
