Not many gadgets try to compete with Apple at the high-end these days.
Despite Apple's famous dominance of expensive gadgets, that's exactly the impression I got from my first day with the Dell XPS 13 laptop.
As an Ultrabook, the XPS is clearly meant to compete against Apple's MacBook Air.

That quality comes at a surprising cost: Dell's laptop actually costs $1,299, $100 more than a MacBook Air with roughly the same processor and memory.
Here's the box Dell's laptop came in — not exactly the sexiest package in the world.
