Ideal for anyone who desires excellent style and form, this Dell XPS 13 makes for a solid last-minute purchase before the holidays. It’s also extra compact and portable while still being suitably powerful for work and school. Here’s all you need to know about it before you tap the buy button below.

Why you should buy the Dell XPS 13

Our Dell XPS 13 review explains all you need to know about the system in-depth. Simply put, it provides excellent build quality, it’s thin and light, has great battery life, and provides exceptional performance too. We really love the compact and lightweight design that serves the portable nature well. You can take it and use it virtually anywhere. That makes it so great for school, work, or some productive tasks.

This Dell XPS 13 has the Snapdragon X Elite processor powering it. That may feel like a departure from something Intel or AMD based, but it works well for most tasks. There’s also 16GB of memory, and you get 512GB of SSD storage. Combined, that’s all you could need for most productivity tasks.

One of the reasons why Dell is one of the best laptop brands is because it pays attention to other details away from the core specs. That includes its screens, with the Dell XPS 13 having a 13.4-inch full HD+ screen with 1920 x 1200 resolution, a variable refresh rate between 30 and 120Hz, anti-glare properties, and 500 nits of brightness too. The display has Dolby Vision support for extra good looks. Continuing the stylish trend, there is also a backlit keyboard with a fingerprint reader built-in, and it looks gorgeously sleek. Even audio is a cut above the rest thanks to having Dolby Atmos support and 8W quad speakers.

You can also count on up to 27 hours of battery life when streaming videos thanks to the Snapdragon X Elite processor being well optimized yet powerful. For those focused on productivity related tasks, this is sure to be one of the best laptops around.

The Dell XPS 13 normally costs $1,300, but right now you can buy it for $1,100 at Dell. This model has not been discounted for a little bit, so it’s good to see it drop in price for a time. Because of that, don’t count on this deal sticking around for much longer though.

Microsoft has begun rolling out Copilot Code for building apps with natural language

Microsoft introduced Code last month as one of the three core parts of its revamped Copilot app. The app was pitched as an easy-to-use coding agent that lets users describe what they want to build in natural language, like an app, a tracker, a dashboard, an automation, or a workflow, and Copilot would build it for them.

Essentially, it's a workplace-focused vibe-coding app that turns existing work into a functional app, and Microsoft has begun rolling it out through the Frontier program.

AI agents are acting like rogues and causing a huge headache for US banks
US banks block AI agents over fears they could make unauthorised financial moves
Banking

US banks are facing a new kind of digital headache: artificial intelligence agents attempting to access customer accounts and perform actions that may go beyond what users intended. As AI tools become more capable of navigating websites and carrying out tasks independently, financial institutions are scrambling to prevent them from crossing security boundaries.

According to a report published by Axios on October 22, major US banks have detected third-party AI agents operating inside customer accounts without authorisation. Some agents reportedly appeared to attempt actions independently of user instructions. The banks involved have not publicly detailed every incident, and there is no evidence that the reported activity resulted in widespread theft of customer funds.

AI can generate all kinds of pretty pictures, but getting it to spell a headline correctly or keep a poster's layout intact can be another story. Canva wants to fix that with Canva Craft, its first in-house image generation model. Rather than focusing primarily on photographs, Craft is designed around the posters, presentations, social media graphics, and other visual content people actually create. The goal is simple: spend less time fixing AI's mistakes and more time making something useful.
