Dell's XPS 13 here reads as a very light premium ultraportable, with the strongest draws being its 2.2 pound aluminum build, touchscreen, backlit keyboard, and 2.5K 120Hz display. The Core 5 320 is described as surprisingly strong in single core performance for a low power Intel chip, and the machine is framed as especially appealing for travel and light work. The main knocks are price and memory flexibility, since the 16GB model sits well above the 8GB base and the RAM is not upgradable. It feels like a polished small laptop, but the value depends heavily on how much the weight and screen matter.

should be on par with the Apple A18 Pro but with a bit better multicore

but Dell is watering down the XPS branding for a budget, entry level laptop in an attempt to help sales.
The entry level/base model is $599(EDU) and comes with 8GB RAM and 512GB storage.
so you're paying $150 more for the 16GB RAM.
problem with the entry level model is 8GB RAM with windows 11... lol
install LTSC or do some major windows debloating and it might be "OK" barely.

If you guys are paying anything close to $500 for this you need to be looking elsewhere. I was a buyer for a rather large org and it's been painful watching people get butchered for no reason—for everyone's sake, check secondary markets. This shit is criminal.
I do like things about Macs, and the Apple hardware is generally very nice (we have Macs in the house but they aren't mine). I also appreciate that Macs can last a long time. But so can Windows computers. The one I'm using right now is 12 years old and works great... but it was not a low end computer when new. Apple is good about making sure even the "low end" computers aren't low end (often even in price).
