It starts at $1,449.00 for 1080p screen, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD.
Why would the average user buy this over the M2 Air?
Average user = Not doing anything that requires Windows or Linux.
M2 Air has a better screen, faster CPU (plugged or unplugged), faster GPU, more battery life, fanless, runs cooler, better speakers, thinner, and it's cheaper.
Also, I think not having function keys is a mistake. Touch keys are just awful on a keyboard. In addition, if you want to do even light gaming, you'd want function keys.
- senttoschool 4y agoThis reminds me of the 2016 Macbook Pro with the touchbar. Since Apple couldn't differentiate in performance (everyone used Intel chips), they had to come up with a gimmick (touchbar). Now Dell is doing the same thing. They can't differentiate in chip performance so they're resorting to gimmicks and form over function.
