Wonderful! I was excited when they announced they had finally moved the camera to the top, and was hoping for a Dev Ed soon. Didn't expect it so quickly! Good job Barton & team!

Weight-wise, it's under the Macbook Air... Feature-wise (and pricewise), it's closer to the MBP.

Starting weights:

  * XPS13: 2.7lbs/1.23kg
  * MBA: 2.75lbs/1.25kg
  * MBP (13.3"): 3.02lbs/1.37kg
Screen resolution:

  * XPS13: 13.3" 3840x2160 (or 1920x1080)
  * MBA: 13.3" 2560x1600
  * MBP: 13.3" 2560x1600
Ports:

  * XPS13: 3xUSB-C 3.1 (TB3, PD, DP USB3.1 Gen??), headset, MicroSD
  * MBA: 2xUSB-C 3.1 (TB3, PD, DP, USB3.1 Gen2), headset
  * MBP: 4xUSB-C 3.1 (TB3, PD, DP, USB3.1 Gen2), headset
And pricing (for closest equivalent HW I could find, not quite equal, XPS with 4k screen, 8GB RAM, 256 SSD):

  * XPS13: i7-8565U (GPU Intel UHD 620): $1590 (+tax)
  * MBA: i5-8210Y (?) (GPU Intel UHD 617): $1400 (+tax)
  * MBP (no Touch Bar): I5-7360U [1] (GPU Intel UHD 640): $1500 (+tax)
And with 16GB Ram, 512 SSD (max for XPS13):

  * XPS13: $1840
  * MBA: $1800
  * MBP (no TB): $1900
