I really wanted to love the new Dell XPS 13, but Dell, we need to have a serious chat about your RAM choices
The new-for-2026 Dell XPS 13 is a different beast compared to previous models, instead taking aim at Apple's recent MacBook Neo.
The new Dell XPS 13 (2026) aims to bring premium-quality XPS down to a more affordable price range, much like Apple's MacBook Neo. However, there are concerns about the laptop's RAM choices. The base model features only 8GB of RAM, which is insufficient for current Windows software, while the higher-end configurations offer up to 32GB of RAM.
The port selection is also limited, and the laptop is perceived as being too expensive to be a true competitor to the MacBook Neo. While the performance is acceptable and the battery life is excellent, the RAM and port limitations hold the XPS 13 back from being a standout product in its price range.
