The XPS build quality (from what I remember) was pretty good and the new one looks like it has a massive trackpad. Maybe a macbook won't be my default next laptop.

Hopefully this is just the start of x86 laptops responding Macbooks. They've been pretty much unchallenged for most use cases (even more now with the Neo) for the past few years.

I would rather more manufacturers started releasing ARM laptops instead! I'd love to run Linux on a decent ARM laptop. Unfortunately given the lukewarm reception to Windows 11 on ARM (likely due to the lukewarm reception in tech circles to Windows 11 itself), it seems manufacturers aren't in a rush to make them.
