Dell Targets Budget

Beyond servers, Dell announced the XPS 13 laptop at $699 (students $599) to capture price‑sensitive PC market share, especially against Apple’s MacBook Neo. The XPS 13 is slated as the thinnest, lightest model, featuring Intel Core Series 3 processors now, with Ultra Series 3 variants expected later in summer. The move aims to counter an anticipated PC unit shipment slowdown due to tightening memory‑chip supply.
