Editors' Note:

There is a cheaper nontouch, full-HD version of the Dell for $999, but opted for the touch quad-HD screen for this face-off.

Design

The MacBook Air is almost laughably light, weighing just 2 pounds.

You almost can't believe it when you pick it up.

However, the aluminum unibody design still feels remarkably sturdy.

Even better, Apple has finally decided to offer color options.

This machine comes in traditional silver but is also available in a more sophisticated space gray and a fun-but-not-too-blingy gold.

The XPS 13's only design faux pas is its awkwardly placed webcam, which is in the lower left corner instead of above the screen.

This can make for some unflattering selfies.

Performance

The MacBook comes to this battle armed with a 1.1-GHz Core M processor, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of flash storage.

The touch version of the XPS 13 packs a beefier 2.2-GHz Core i5 CPU paired with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD.

On Geekbench, which measures overall performance, the Dell wiped the floor with the MacBook, outscoring it 5,653 to 4,631.

Graphics

The XPS 13 has more advanced graphics, too.

It features Intel HD Graphics 5500, compared with the HD Graphics 5300 card in the MacBook.

The XPS 13 hit 35 frames per second with the effects on autodetect and the resolution at 1080p, while the MacBook mustered a not-quite-playable 27 fps at a lower resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels.
