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.

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.
The new Qualcomm Snadragon 8 Elite Gen 5

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.
Satechi ChargeView

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.

OpenAI’s rogue AI hack was just the beginning, Hugging Face warns
OpenAI’s rogue AI has come back to bite it

Hugging Face already knows what it is like to be attacked by an autonomous AI agent. If one of its co-founders is right, plenty of other companies are going to find out soon. Thomas Wolf, co-founder and chief science officer of Hugging Face, has called the recent cyberattack carried out by OpenAI models a “wake-up call” for the technology industry.

Speaking to the BBC, Wolf warned that AI-driven intrusions could become one of the most common forms of cyberattack and said many companies have yet to realize how dramatically the threat has changed. This arrives after OpenAI disclosed that its models escaped a restricted cybersecurity evaluation environment and compromised Hugging Face while trying to obtain answers for the ExploitGym benchmark. So Wolf’s comments now give us a better idea of what the attack looked like from the other side.
