We rate the Dell XPS 13 as the best overall laptop to buy and this latest iteration is no exception. It’s the perfect laptop for college students and work from home professionals. If you want double the storage and RAM, Dell also offers the XPS 13 Touch (opens in new tab) with 10th Gen Intel Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD for $1,299 ($350 pff). The new XPS 13 in this deal packs a 13.1-inch (1920 x 1200) InifinityEdge touch display, a 2.8-GHz 11th Gen Intel Core i7-1165G7 quad-core CPU, 8GB of RAM, Intel Iris Xe graphics, and a 256GB SSD. Although we didn’t test this exact configuration, in our Dell XPS 13 (2020) review, we loved its attractive, premium, bezel-less design. As we note in our recent Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 review (opens in new tab) which has the same chip as the XPS 13 on sale, we were floored by its fast performance. Like its predecessors, the XPS 13 features an embedded fingerprint reader in the power button for easy login using Windows Hello. For ports, the XPS 13 is equipped with two Thunderbolt 3 ports, a USB Type-C port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a microSD slot. At 11.6 x 7.8 x 0.58-inches, the 2.7-pounds, the XPS 13 is thinner and lighter than the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 (2.9 pounds, 12.1 x 8.8 x 0.6 inches) and MacBook Pro (13-inch 2019 with Touch Bar) (4.4 pounds, 12.8 x 8.9 x 1 inches). Port-wise, the XPS 13 gives you the basics. You get two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a headphone/microphone combo jack. If you want more ports, we recommend a USB hub. Black Friday falls on November 27 and we expect to see a plethora of deals on the industry’s best Dell laptops.
