Best Dell XPS deals: Save on Dell XPS 13, Dell XPS 15 and Dell XPS 16

While your regular laptop is pretty great, if you want something thin and light that packs a punch, then you'll want to grab yourself on of Dell's XPS lineup.

Of course, the biggest positive is being able to find a configuration that fits your needs, especially since the Dell XPS comes in four different sizes now, and being one of the best laptop brands on the market, you know you're getting a quality product.

Of course, given that these are pricey machines, going for a deal is probably the way to go, which is why we've collected some of our favorite deals below. That said, if you can't quite find what you're looking for, be sure to check out these Dell laptop deals and our roundup of the best laptop deals for some non-Dell options.

Dell knocks $450 off it’s Dell G16 gaming laptop with RTX 4070

Gaming laptops have come a long way from the past few years when they used to be massive and bulky, and if you're looking for a great mid-range option, this configuration of the Dell G16 is worth checking out. The Dell G16 is actually an updated version of the older G15, which was a bit of a workhorse when it comes to budget-oriented gaming laptops. In this case, you get a great laptop with an RTX 40-series GPU from Dell directly for just $1,300, which is $450 off the usual $1,750 it goes for.

Why you should buy the Dell G16 Gaming Laptop
As the name might suggest, the Dell G16 comes with a 16-inch screen that runs a 2560 x 1600 resolution, with the ability to hit a whopping 240Hz refresh rate, which is perfect for those who enjoy playing competitive games. Under the hood you get yourself an RTX 4070 mobile, which is roughly equivalent to the performance of a desktop RTX 4060. Even so, it's a solid card for gaming at 2K, although you will have to make some graphical compromises, especially if you're aiming for higher refresh rates than 100 or so.
