Dell XPS 15 7590 review

Black Friday is officially over and Cyber Monday is just days away, and there are already tons of great Cyber Monday deals out there, including for the Dell XPS 15. This laptop, which usually starts at $1,899, is still down to just $1,399. That's $500 off! Plus, when you buy through Dell you'll get the shipping absolutely free, so no tricks on this deal, just a very modern laptop at a steep discount. This particular deal was a Black Friday deal that is still around even after that sale has ended. So there's no guarantee it'll stick around for much longer. In fact, over 40% of these discounted laptops have already been claimed, so you'll need to hurry if you want to snag one for yourself.

Why you should buy the Dell XPS 15
The Dell XPS 15 is ranked among the best 15-inch laptops in the world right now, and it isn't hard to see why. It's got a thin body that is easy to tuck into backpacks, large purses, and briefcases. But, within the thin shell is great power. With a 12th-gen Intel Core i7 processor with 16 GB of RAM, this isn't just a computer to buy because you want something to lug around with you. In fact, in Dell's own words, the Dell XPS 15 is a computer "created for creators" backed by Nvidia and Studio Drivers designed to boost Adobe and Autodesk performance.
