If you might have an interest in getting a new laptop, Tom's Guide has an article comparing the MacBook Air M2 to the Dell XPS 13 Plus. Which to choose? Your decision will probably depend on what your primary use of the laptop will be, or perhaps which OS you prefer? The article clarifies this. If gaming is your thing, you'd probably want the Dell.

I have a MacBook Air (running macOS Monterrey) and a Dell XPS 13 ( running Windows 11), and both laptops are about 3 years old. In size, shape, and function, both are quite similar, other than the operating system. I like them both, and just alternate back and forth. One thing I've noticed over the years, laptops keep getting lighter and lighter, which makes them much easier to transport around.

I'm not in the market for a new laptop, and maybe neither are you. But I enjoy reading articles such as this one, just to see what is coming onstream in the computer world, and maybe you will, too.
