The newest version of Dell’s well-received XPS 13 series can take on any MacBook – and then some.

I spend most of my time within the Apple ecosystem: using MacBooks, iPhones, and iPads. But I’m not averse to devoting a few weeks (or even a month or two) with a Windows 10 laptop, as long as the hardware is excellent and the PC maker has done its homework and makes it fully compatible with Windows. In the past, the lack of reliable hardware compatibility with Windows was a serious shortcoming (for all PC makers) and one of the reasons I began leaning more and more on MacBooks and OS X.

The 2016 version of the 2.7-pound Dell XPS 13 that I have been using over the past month packs the latest 6th Generation Intel Core i7 “Skylake” processor while maintaining the same gorgeous, svelte, space-efficient 13-inch design as the 2015 model.

The biggest change from the 2015 model (which I also used extensively) is one of the most important: performance. It feels a lot snappier, and benchmarks bear this out. A popular performance benchmark shows that it’s about 20 percent faster than the version I was using last year.

People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to visit violence on those who would do them harm.

I don't know if it is really competition to the Apple since Windows and Apple are such different ecosystems but certainly it is the "Windows Equivalent" to the MacBook. For a person who maybe loves his MacBook Air but who is forced to use the Windows world for his job, this is a solid choice.
