Best Dell XPS deals: Save on Dell XPS 13, Dell XPS 15 and Dell XPS 17

There are a lot of options out there for a thin and light laptop, such as the MacBook Air, but if you go that route, then you’re going to be in the Apple ecosystem, which some folks may not want. Alternatively, Dell is one of the best laptop brands out there and makes the Dell XPS lineup, which is the Windows equivalent of the MacBook Air. Even better, it has a ton of excellent configurations to pick from, including some with more substantial graphics cards, such as the RTX 4070, although if you don’t need anything as powerful, there are lower-end options as well.

Of course, given that these are pricey machines, going for a deal is probably the way to go, which is why we’ve collected some of our favorite deals below. That said, if you can’t quite find what you’re looking for, be sure to check out these Dell laptop deals and our roundup of the best laptop deals for some non-Dell options.

Best Dell XPS 13 deals

The Dell XPS 13 is the smallest in the Dell XPS line. It’s great for commuters and students. These laptops don’t generally have powerful GPUs, but they’re fast, reliable, and sleek. That said, the new XPS 13 lineup has come out and there aren’t a lot of great deals on them right now, so we’ve mostly focused on older deals.

  • Dell XPS 13 (Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, 32GB Memory, 1TB, OLED, 3K) —

Best Dell XPS 14 deals

The new Dell XPS 14 laptops have come out, and they’re a pretty solid middle ground for those who want a smaller form factor but still need a bigger screen than what is on offer for with the Dell XPS 13. And, given they have a bit more room to work with, it does mean you get things like a better typing experience and bigger speakers.

  • Dell XPS 14 (Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, 16GB Memory, RTX 4050, 1TB, FHD) —
  • Dell XPS 14 (Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, 32GB Memory, RTX 4050, 1TB, 3.2K) —

Best Dell XPS 15 deals

The Dell XPS 15 is a step up in size and power. You’ll get a much bigger screen than on the XPS 13, and with a bigger chassis comes more demanding components. We see Dell start pulling from Nvidia’s line of RTX GPUs, and we see a bunch more RAM getting crammed in there.

  • Dell XPS 15 (Intel Core i7-13620H, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, FHD+) —

Best Dell XPS 16 deals

While Dell is no longer making the XPS 17, they have replaced that with the slightly smaller XPS 16, which still has a relatively large screen and excellent specs under the hood. As such, it’s a great option if you want a bigger screen and power than your average 15-inch laptop.

  • Dell XPS 16 (Intel Core Ultra 9 185H, 32GB RAM, RTX 4060, 1TB SSD, FHD+) —

How we chose the best Dell XPS deals

A few years ago, there weren’t a ton of options for the Dell XPS, and the XPS 17 was one of the 17-inch laptops around, so it was a pretty easy laptop to suggest and find deals for. Since then, Dell has removed the 17-inch size while adding two more, and other brands have started making excellent 17-inch laptops. Even so, there are still a few things to consider when it comes to which Dell XPS deal is the best to put on the list, and a lot of that boils down to whether the configuration is well-balanced and if any deal actually increases the value beyond what we’d consider a fair price.

For example, we may suggest a Windows 11 Pro version over a Windows 11 Home version if the price difference is only $50 and the discount is steep enough that the added cost doesn’t make the deal unfavorable. At the same time, we may not necessarily suggest going with the highest-end CPU if the included GPU doesn’t really require the extra headroom of a better CPU. More importantly, we also try to make sure most of our deals include a base minimum of specs, and that means things like having at least 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, which admittedly is the current minimums you’ll find on most Dell XPS laptops anyway.
