Dell deal slashes $479 off the price of a 4K touchscreen XPS 13

Dell XPS 15-2-1 review

The Dell XPS 13 is one of our favorite Windows 10 laptops, but it is usually quite expensive. If you’ve been thinking of picking one up, but have been worried by the price tag, now is your chance to save big. Dell is currently offering $479 off the 4K touchscreen version of the XPS 13.

While it is not clear how long it will last, this sale is bringing the price of the 4K touchscreen version of the XPS 13 down from $1,979 to $1,500. This deal price includes an instant $279 savings, as well as an additional $200 discount when you use the code 200OFF1599 at checkout. The sale model comes equipped with an eighth-generation Intel Core i7-8550U processor, 8GB of RAM, and a spacious 512GB solid-state drive. We reviewed a similar version of this laptop in 2018 and really liked its luxurious look, great keyboard and touchpad, and strong performance.

It should be noted that this sale model covers an older model of the XPS 13. Unlike the new 2019 XPS 13, it still features a webcam in the middle part of the display. Still, since it comes with a high-resolution 4K touchscreen, there is plenty of value in the price. This version of the XPS 13 also has everything needed for multitasking, day-to-day web browsing, watching movies, and general computing activities.

If you’re looking to save on the new XPS 13, Dell still has you covered. The base model of the device is currently on sale for $900, instead of the usual price of $978. It comes configured with the eighth-generation Intel Core i3-8145U processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 128GB solid-state drive. These might seem like basic specifications, but the laptop is still a great choice for students or professionals interested in general web browsing or editing documents in Microsoft Office.

We recently reviewed the new model and really liked the new sleek design, colors, and the redesigned hinge that opens more easily. Only reduced battery life held it back from being perfect — though we reviewed a power-hungry 4K model.

Why the Dell XPS 13 Plus still beats the latest competition in little laptops

Lenovo recently updated its smallest ThinkPad, the ThinkPad X1 Nano, to its third generation. It kept everything the same except for an upgrade to Intel 13th-gen CPUs. Dell did the same with the recent refresh of the XPS 13 Plus. These are both competent 13-inch laptops.

That was a safer direction for Dell, given that the XPS 13 Plus sports an ultramodern appearance. The ThinkPad X1 Nano Gen 3, on the other hand, remains a nice little laptop but its design is getting a bit dated. Can it compete with the more contemporary XPS 13 Plus?

You'd be forgiven for mistaking the Dell XPS 17 for only a slightly bigger XPS 15. Both have large displays packed into the smallest chassis possible, and both boast some ambitious performance claims. However, there's more going on between the two than meets the eye.

Just how big of a difference is there between the XPS 15 9530 and the XPS 17 9730? Here's everything you need to know about these two great laptops, and which you should buy. Note that both laptops received refreshes in 2023 that upped the CPU and GPU but left the rest of the laptop alone. Neither is as compelling compared to the competition as it was in previous generations.

The laptop market is starting to lean toward 14-inch laptops and away from 13-inch laptops, but that doesn't mean there are no great examples of the latter. The Dell XPS 13 9315 and HP Envy x360 13 are both worthy models .

Both of these laptops are relatively affordable and they offer great performance, builds, and creature comforts. But only one can be crowned as the best. Which wins this shootout?
