Dell, Acer launch MacBook Neo rivals with 8GB RAM

PC manufacturers Dell and Acer have unveiled new laptops designed to compete with Apple's budget-friendly MacBook Neo. These new models, including the Dell XPS 13 and Acer Swift Air 14, are priced starting at $599 and feature Intel Core 5 processors with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage.
