With the launch of the new Dell XPS 13, the previous-generation model of the laptop is available with a $300 discount from the laptop deals of Dell, bringing its price down to $799 from $1,099. The device is still a worthwhile purchase today, especially with the savings, but since its price has been reduced as part of a clearance sale, we’re not sure how much longer it will remain available. This may be your last chance to get the laptop, so before stocks run out, hurry up and send in your order.

Why you should buy the Dell XPS 13 laptop

The Dell XPS reset brings a new Dell XPS 13 that incorporates the design elements of the Dell XPS 13 Plus, but amid all the changes, the 2022 release of the Dell XPS 13 is still a decent device by today’s standards. It’s in our roundup of the best laptops as the best budget laptop because with its 12th-generation Intel Core i7 processor, integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics and 16GB of RAM, it’s going to be more than enough to handle tasks such as researching online, typing documents, and building presentations.

The Dell XPS 13 features a very compact design, with barely visible bezels surrounding its 13.4-inch Full HD+ screen allowing for an amazing screen-to-body ratio. The laptop also features a keyboard that’s very comfortable to use, and a battery that can last up to 12 hours on a single charge. The Dell XPS 13 runs on Windows 11 Home, which comes pre-installed in its 512GB SSD that will provide ample space for the documents and apps that you would need for your usual workload.

The previous-generation Dell XPS 13 is available in an ongoing clearance sale from Dell at $300 off, slashing its sticker price of $1,099 to just $799. There’s always high demand for Dell XPS deals, so we don’t think stocks of this laptop will last, even if it’s an older model. If you’re already looking forward to using the Dell XPS 13 for your daily activities, get it for much cheaper than usual by taking advantage of this offer as soon as you can. If you hesitate, you may miss out on the savings.

Before you blow your student budget, here’s the MacBook that actually suits your major

Confused by the MacBook lineup? I sorted it out so students don't have to

Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Apple’s MacBook lineup has become much broader in 2026. The MacBook Neo brings the entry price down considerably, the M5 MacBook Air remains the obvious all-rounder, and the MacBook Pro covers students whose coursework can push a laptop to its limits.

But with a wide range, choosing one becomes harder. Spending more can bring a better display, faster storage, additional ports, and considerably greater performance. However, plenty of students will never take advantage of those upgrades. So, I have narrowed the current lineup down to three models, each aimed at a distinct kind of buyer.

Qualcomm is set to ratchet up chip prices in September, and your next gadget upgrade could bear the brunt

The price hike could touch every Snapdragon-powered device category.

I want you to sit with this for a second. Qualcomm, the company whose Snapdragon chips sit inside your Android phone and tablet, your Windows laptop, your Meta smart glasses, your Galaxy Watch, and your wireless earbuds, reportedly sent a letter to every major customer telling them prices are going up by double digits.

The price hike will be in effect from September 1, 2026, a recent Bloomberg report claims. Essentially, all the companies placing their chip orders after that will pay a higher price.

Stop fighting with your roomie over outlets and get one of these multi-port chargers before you head back to school

One plug, zero drama, all your devices charged by morning.

Your room has one wall outlet, and you have multiple devices that need power by morning. Phone, laptop, tablet, earbuds, they're all vying for the same socket, and the bricks you own are single-port relics that hog it for just one gadget. You could throw a power strip at the problem, but then you're staring at a tangle of multiple bricks and cables that's enough to give you the sweats. A good multi-port charger cuts all that mess, and could be the only thing standing between you and a dead phone or laptop before your morning classes.

Back-to-school season is a smart time to buy one. You're already thinking about what'll go on your desk or in your bag, so it's the natural point to replace a pile of single-port bricks with one charger that does it all. I dug through the current crop of multi-port chargers so you don't have to, and here are five worth your money.
