Get the new Dell XPS 13 for $750 with this limited-time deal

2019 Dell XPS 13 review
Julian Chokkattu/Digital Trends

The XPS 13 might be one of our all-time favorite laptops, but it is usually quite expensive. If you have been considering picking one up, but don’t want to spend too much, Dell has you covered. The company is running a limited-time deal lasting through Thursday, March 28, where you can bring home this year’s new XPS 13 for around $750 with the use of a special coupon code.

Usually retailing for $910, Dell’s sale is now knocking $163 off an entry-level version of the new XPS 13 with the use of coupon code SAVE17 at checkout. It comes configured with an eighth-generation Intel Core i3-8145U processor, a 128GB solid-state drive, as well as a total of 4GB of RAM. This might initially appear as basic specifications, but it is still good enough for web browsing, editing word documents, and other basic tasks. We recently reviewed a similar version of the new XPS 13 and found it to be the near-perfect laptop. We liked its sleek design, new color options, repositioned webcam, as well as its speedy performance.

If you’re looking for a laptop that is a bit more powerful, Dell still has you covered. A separate deal also lasting through Thursday, March 28, is cutting down the price on an older version of the XPS 13 to $1,250 with use of coupon code SAVE17. This version comes with a slightly more powerful Intel Core i7-8550U processor, 8GB RAM, and a 256GB solid-state drive. It is a bit different from the new XPS 13 since its webcam is in the center of the bottom bezel of the laptop, and is powered by an older Intel processor. Still, the specs make this version of the XPS 13 is an excellent choice if you’re a student, or someone who is always online and working through the web.

Other than the XPS 13, Dell is also discounting its new 15.6-inch G7 gaming laptop with the use of the same SAVE17 coupon code — now retailing for $1,294. Under the hood, it comes with Nvidia’s latest GeForce RTX 2060 graphics card, 16GB RAM, and a 128GB solid-state drive, plus an additional 1TB HDD. With the power of Nvidia’s ray tracing and DLSS tucked inside the graphics card powering this laptop, it is a great choice if you’re looking to get the most out of games like Battlefield V.

The Dell XPS 14 is an excellent 14-inch laptop with a thoroughly modern design and aesthetic, as well as some fast components. You can even configure it with an Nvidia RTX 4050.

But there's no question that it's been controversial. Between the invisible trackpad to the LED touch keys, there are plenty of reasons to consider a different option. Here are the five alternatives you should consider before pulling the trigger on the XPS 14.

Dell has one of the most extensive laptop lineups around, ranging from the budget-oriented Inspiron to super-powerful Precision workstations. You'll find Dell laptops on many of our best-of lists, including best laptops and best business laptops. If you're looking for a premium laptop, you'll have to decide between a consumer-oriented XPS and a business-focused Latitude.

While there's some overlap between these lines, significant differences exist that need to be considered. Here, we'll provide an overview of the XPS and Latitude lineups to help discerning buyers make the right investment.
Design
There are three current XPS laptops to consider: The XPS 13 2-in-1 has become the standard XPS 13 to represent the 13-inch class. The older XPS 15 has been replaced with the XPS 14 and the XPS 17 with the XPS 16. These are among the best you can buy in their class.

The XPS 16 is fighting an uphill battle against the MacBook Pro

It took a few years, but Dell finally updated the design of its two largest XPS laptops. The XPS 15 gave way to the XPS 14, while the XPS 17 was replaced by the XPS 16. The latter gained the ultramodern look of the XPS 13 Plus, complete with a glass palm rest, a hidden haptic touchpad, and a row of LED function keys.

It's a significant update but places the XPS 16 in direct competition with the Apple MacBook Pro 16. That's an excellent matchup with proven performance and battery life and an elegant design that's solid, if a lot more conservative.
