A few of today’sbest Dell XPS dealsare offering superb prices on models that are now slightly older (but still outstanding Ultrabooks). While ourhands-on Dell XPS 14 reviewhas been positive so far, we think the 2022 and 2023 models are really where the value is right now.
For example, the Dell XPS 13 Plusis now just $999 (was $1,499), which is a new record-breaking discount for this premium model. Is it a cheap laptop? No - but it isan eye-watering $700 cheaperthan the latest 14-inch model and it shares most of the selling-points of new model - like a sleek, trackpad-less design.
If you’re looking foreven betterbang for the buck, consider some of today’s deals on the 2022 XPS 13 model - like this Core i7 configurationfor $799 (was $1,099)or the baseline Core i5 configfor $599 (was $799). These deals feature prices that we’ve seen before - but they’re both a match for the lowest-ever price. In short, they’re great options if you’re happy with going for a slightly older design.

Price cut:we originally singled out this Dell XPS 13 Plus as a fantastic buy at its original sales price of $1,099 but now it’s been reduced even further down to a record-low of just $999. The Dell XPS 13 Plus is the closest in design and specs to the latest XPS 14, although it doesn’t have the option to bundle in a GPU. Still, this laptop is a great performer with its Core i7 chipset - and it looks absolutely gorgeous with its sleek, trackpad-less design. At $999, this one is currently a massive $700 cheaper than the new 14-inch model so it could be a good option if you want a stylish lightweight laptop without completely breaking the bank.

The cheapest Dell XPS 13 you can buy right now is a third of the price of the latest 14-inch model. In fact, at $599, this deal is the cheapest XPS 13 we’ve ever seen. There are some trade-offs, of course, in the fact that you get a relatively small 256GB SSD and an older 12th gen Intel Core i5, but this machine still features a premium high-end design. If you’re just looking for a machine to cover the basics this one is a great choice.

This mid-range Dell XPS 13 might just be one of the best buys out there if you’re looking for a reasonably powerful lightweight Windows laptop. At $300 off, this one is a steal considering you get a powerful combination of a Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD. While not as cheap as the model above, this one is a better buy if you need a machine to handle more intensive applications - not least because this is a Black Friday-level deal.
