“Dell XPS, Dell XPS, Dell XPS,” have been the long-muttered words of anyone covering laptops with Digital Trends. After all, what do you recommend for someone that doesn’t have an iPhone and doesn’t want one of the best gaming laptops? While our current listing of the best laptops is a bit more diverse, for the longest time you’d always find a couple of Dell XPS variants on it. 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.

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.

One thing to note about Dell laptops, including the XPS line, is how customizable they are. That means the above review won’t necessarily reflect your exact experiences with the laptop. This version of the laptop has 32GB of RAM, 1 TB of SSD storage, and a 3K resolution touchscreen. But, you’re able to change any of that with clearly displayed price changes on screen. If 32GB of RAM feels excessive to you, for example, you can save an additional $100 by tapping the button to drop it to 16GB, it’s your choice. Just beware the selections that include a “!” as you’ll have to make multiple changes to make these choices work. If you don’t want to do much thinking, however, we’ve already chosen a great value-for-the-money configuration we think you’ll love, no input needed.

Part of the Dell XPS loving crew? Just tap the button below to find this configuration at a low price of $1,599. Again, that’s a savings of $400 over the usual $1,999. Looking for something else? Go check out our favorite laptop deals to get your eyes on the alternatives.
