Dell’s magnum opus in our opinion, the XPS 13 is a laptop unparalleled in the 13-inch class, taking home top honors among Digital Trends’ best laptops for an astonishing four years running.

We’re such big fans of the Dell XPS 13 laptop, we’d gladly pay its full retail price of $1,899 several times over. If you’re of a different opinion, though, and feel that the price is too much of a premium, you’re in luck. Now, though August 10,

In case you couldn’t tell, Dell is among our favorite brands, and if there’s one single product you could and should buy from Dell, it’s the XPS 13 laptop. The sleek, powerful, and performance-oriented Ultrabook is the world’s smallest 13-inch laptop, weighing just 2.67 pounds. The 13.3-inch 4K Ultra HD touchscreen boasts a super slim InfinityEdge display, enabling an over-80% screen-to-body ratio. What’s more, the display combines 400-nit brightness with anti-reflectivity, meaning your laptop display looks just as good outdoors as it does in any office. Plus, with a battery life of up to 19 hours, and customized modes available through Dell Power Manager, your XPS 13 will never have worried about scurrying around to find an outlet.

8th-Gen Intel Core i7 processors pack a powerful punch into the Dell XPS 13, while the Windows 10 OS keeps things running smoothly. 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD are solid specs on the storage and memory fronts, with Intel UHD Graphics 620 providing visual support. 

Among the XPS 13’s most unique features is the Dell Cinema Technology, which enables an exceptional audio and video experience, especially from a 13-inch laptop. Enjoy colors and details that are more vibrant than ever with CinemaColor, and consume all of your content seamlessly and stutter-free with CinemaStream. With CinemaSound’s Waves MaxxAudio Pro, hear every sound loud and clear with studio-quality audio.

At the end of the day, the Dell XPS 13 is as close to perfect as we’ve personally seen from a laptop, so if you’re not sold on it by now, maybe the extra $650 in savings will be enough to push you over the line. If so, head over to Dell to get yours now with the promo code DBLTXPS13T before this deal comes to a close on August 10.

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. They're Dell's answer to the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro and they have a wide range of sizes and specifications; plus, they tend to be quite cheaper, which is always good. 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.

And, for the reasons outlined above (plus a sleek keyboard and stylish design) the line remains incredibly popular. And if you want one of these popular laptops, now is the time to spring for the Dell XPS 13. We've found a pretty hot deal on a fantastic configuration that brings the price from $1,999 down to $1,599. That savings of around 20% or $400 is yours if you tap the button below, but keep reading for our experiences with the laptop.

Why you should buy the Dell XPS 13
The Dell XPS 13 is a solid machine with a futuristic look and sleek design. Our Dell XPS 13 review compares the laptop's keyboard (which definitely feels unique) to the MacBook Air's Magic Keyboard, with shallow but simultaneously "snappy and precise" keys. There is a reason why a Dell XPS 13, though not this exact version, got to be our pick for the best MacBook alternative to the MacBook Air. The configuration we received for testing was able to get in eight hours of video watching on loop, meaning this is a perfect small laptop to get you through your day.
