Dell is running with a head start for this year’s Labor Day laptop deals with a $400 discount for the Dell XPS 15. This configuration for the popular laptop usually sells for $1,699, but you can get it right now for only $1,299. That’s a steal for this device, and you’re going to want to take advantage of this offer because you may not get another chance at it. If you think this laptop is perfect for you, we highly recommend adding it to your cart and finishing the checkout process immediately, as stocks are probably already running low.

Why you should buy the Dell XPS 15 laptop

With the Dell XPS reset that introduces the new Dell XPS 13, Dell XPS 14, and Dell XPS 16, the Dell XPS 15 9530 is the last release of the popular laptop. That doesn’t mean it’s severely outdated though, as it’s powered by the 13th-generation Intel Core i7 processor, Intel Arc Graphics A370M, and 32GB of RAM that our guide on how much RAM do you need calls the sweet spot for professionals. These specifications make it a fantastic business laptop as you’ll be able to efficiently finish all your daily tasks with this machine.

The Dell XPS 15, true to its name, features a 15.6-inch display with Full HD+ resolution for sharp details and anti-glare properties, so you’ll see what’s on the screen under bright lights or while outdoors. The laptop ships with Windows 11 Home pre-installed in a 1TB SSD, which should provide enough space for all of the apps that you regularly use and all the files that you need to be always within reach.

For those who have had an eye on Dell XPS deals for the Dell XPS 15 in particular, you shouldn’t let this opportunity to get the laptop at $400 off slip through your fingers. Originally $1,699, the device’s configuration with the 13th-generation Intel Core i7 processor will be yours for just $1,299. There’s no telling how much time is remaining on this offer, and we’re not sure if you’ll get another chance if you miss this because this is the last model of the Dell XPS 15. Buy it now while you still can, as you may regret it later if you pass.

If you wanted to buy a gaming laptop ten years ago, that would mean that you'd have to spend thousands of dollars on something that was quite big and bulky and likely couldn't even play the best PC games on the market. Nowadays, gaming laptops have become thin and light, and you can actually get something pretty solid without spending too much money. On the other hand, if you want to go all out and grab one of the best gaming laptops, you'll absolutely find something that can almost compete with the best gaming desktops out there.

To help you with picking something great, we've found deals from some of the best laptop brands and include Lenovo laptop deals, Acer laptop deals, Dell laptop deals, and HP laptop deals, although if you're looking for some more general deals, these laptop deals have some good options, too.

This Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 deal cuts the price by $1,000

Microsoft's Surface devices are powerful and versatile -- but those benefits usually come with a steep price. That's why there's always high demand for Surface Laptop and Surface Pro deals, and here's one that we think will sell out quickly -- the Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 for $2,500, following a $1,000 discount from B&H Photo Video on its original price of $3,500. It's still not cheap, but it's an excellent price for a laptop of this caliber. This deal ends on September 22, but it could sell out any minute.

Why you should buy the Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2
The first thing that stands out with the Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 is its beautiful 14.4-inch PixelSense Flow touchscreen that offers a 120Hz refresh rate and support for Dolby Vision IQ and HDR. The device also offers three modes: Laptop Mode where you can use its keyboard for typing, Stage Mode where you pull the display towards you to cover the keyboard and give you an angled display for watching streaming shows, and Studio Mode that transforms it into a tablet for sketching. The Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 also comes with Windows 11 Home pre-loaded in its 2TB SSD.
