That new inspiron looks like it would be a fair bit faster. Better processor and a graphics card.
It's not that surprising though as part of what you're paying for with the XPS is it being super-slim and compact. The inspiron is nice enough (I'm writing this on a 13" one) but not the same class. Generally the bigger you go the more powerful you get for similar money as they're not so hamstrung by cooling and power issues.
