Dell’s ultimate ultraportable, the XPS 13, takes on Apple’s popular MacBook Air in a pound-for-pound battle of sub-portable notebook dominance. How does this PC challenger match up with Apple’s popular thin and light notebook?

Intel describes its RealSense technology as enabling your PC to see more like you do. That sounds interesting, but once you realize what this actually means, it becomes clear that RealSense isn’t just another incremental upgrade.
