Dell M1330 meant to take share from MacBooks?

Dell's just-released XPS M1330 is likely built to counter the MacBook, according to sources within Taiwan's notebook building industry. The Texas-based Windows PC maker is said to have chosen the 13.3-inch widescreen format in part as a response to Apple's mainstream notebook, which has helped the latter's notebook sales climb well above the industry average. The introduction of more energy-efficient Core 2 Duo chips may also have simplified Dell's choice by allowing the same level of performance as a larger system without the power consumption issues, the reports say.

The new XPS is notable for including options that the MacBook currently lacks, such as options for a thinner and more efficient LED-backlit display as well as dedicated GeForce 8400M graphics.
