dell new inspiron laptops take xps design family 12

Dell has announced a new line of Inspiron laptops that simplify the branding and design of these more affordable laptops. Dell's flagship laptops, the XPS line, often enjoy all the latest design innovations. That's unlikely to change anytime soon, but these new Inspiron laptops are finally starting to catch up to some of the best laptops you can buy.

The new lineup includes the Inspiron 13, Inspiron 14, Inspiron 14 2-in-1, Inspiron 15, and Inspiron 16 Plus. That might sound like a lot, but it's actually a simplification of the line, which currently includes 3000, 5000, and 7000 versions.

Dell Inspiron 15 7000 vs. Dell XPS 15
dell inspiron 15 7000 2020 review

When it comes to mainstream laptops, Dell offers two ranges: Inspiron and XPS. The Inspiron range considers value, from the 3000-series that you can have for around $400 to the 7000-series, which stretches up to $1,000.

The XPS range, on the other hand, uses the traditional "ultrabook" model, with premium design, components, battery life, and build quality. Dell charges for the privilege, however, with a kitted out XPS notebook reaching upwards of $3,000.

Apple MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Dell XPS 13 discounted for Memorial Day
The 16-inch MacBook Pro, with the cover opened and the screen showing an image of an island.

Memorial Day sales have officially begun and among the many retailers that are offering countless products on the cheap are Best Buy and Dell. Three of the best laptops you can currently buy -- the Dell XPS 13 and Apple's latest MacBook Air and MacBook Pro -- are all on sale with as much as $900 off. We advise you act fast, though, as they're selling like hot cakes.
Dell XPS 13
– $715, was $1019

The Dell XPS 13 is one attractive Ultrabook. Its anodized aluminum chassis comes in Alpine White, Rose Gold, or Platinum Silver (all stunning), with a faint pearlescent sheen to it. The Dell logo sits solitary yet triumphant in the center of the lid. Although it has long been derided as the “nosecam” because of its unfortunate placement at the bottom of the screen, the webcam has now migrated to its rightful place at the top center. It also happens to be the tiniest webcam we’ve ever seen, although it can still take a decent picture. What’s more, the webcam is compatible with Windows Hello so you can log in with just your face. Outlining the screen is what Dell calls the InfinityEdge bezel, and it is beautifully scant and modern. With dimensions of 11.9 x 7.8 x 0.5 inches, this 2.7-pound laptop is super portable and would be the perfect partner of mobile professionals.
