German prices are (512GB SSD, 16GB Ram, i7, UDH):
* XPS13 - Ubuntu: 1599€ / 1819$
* XPS13 - Windows: 1729€ / 1967$
* MBA - i5 - 2089€ / 2377$

* MBP - i7 - 2849€ / 3242$
Entry models (256GB, 8GB, i5):
* XPS13 - Ubuntu - HD : 1289€ / 1467$, has a i7 instead of an i5 !?!
* XPS13 - Windows - HD: 1309€ / 1490$
* XPS13 - Windows - UHD: 1479€ / 1683$
* MBA - i5 - 1599€ / 1820$
* MBP - i5 - 1999€ / 2275$
* MBP - i7 - 2359€ / 2685$
I noticed that dell doesn't offer customization. They have many different configurations but some combinations are missing e.g. no 256-16-UHD option.
That being said I find it difficult to rationalize Apple's prices. I'd like to replace my ancient MBA but I'm not willing to pay 400€ for their new MBA, just to get an inferior CPU.
Not to mention the huge price difference for higher-end configurations.
I'd be very interested how well dell notebooks last - do they have similar 'design flaws' as the current gen Apple notebooks (keyboard, display cable)?
