If you want a thin and light laptop as your daily companion but you don’t want to be locked into the Apple ecosystem with a MacBook Air, you should consider the Dell XPS line of devices. Dell XPS laptops are beautifully sleek with excellent portability, and they comes with a wide range of configurations that will match your needs. With Dell known as one of the best laptop brands, you’re assured that you’ll get a top-quality product, but that also means that there’s always high demand for Dell XPS deals to score savings on the premium prices. We’ve gathered our favorite offers below though, so there’s no need to go anywhere else.

If you’re not intrigued by any of these Dell XPS deals, you can also take a look at these Dell laptop deals, as well as our roundup of the best laptop deals for options beyond Dell.

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 processor 256V Series 2, 16GB Memory, 512GB, FHD+) — $1,160 $1,460 21% off
  • Dell XPS 13 (Snapdragon X Elite processor, 32GB Memory, 1TB, 3K) — $1,300 $1,700 24% off
  • Dell XPS 13 (Intel Core Ultra 7 processor 258V Series 2, 32GB Memory, 1TB, 3K) — $1,560 $1,960 20% off

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, RTX 4050, 16GB Memory, 1TB, 2K) — $1,600 $2,000 20% off
  • Dell XPS 14 (Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, RTX 4050, 32GB Memory, 1TB, 2K) — $1,761 $2,061 15% off

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. Unfortunately, there aren’t any XPS 16 deals available at the moment.

  • Dell XPS 16 (Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, RTX 4050, 32GB Memory, 1TB, 2K) — $2,000 $2,400 17% off
  • Dell XPS 16 (Intel Core Ultra 9 185H, RTX 4060, 32GB Memory, 1TB, 2K) — $2,250 $2,850 21% off

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.

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.

Humans actually prefer talking to an AI than a support person, says gas giant as it cuts jobs
British Gas cuts 1,300 support jobs as its CEO points to changing customer habits
Executive, Person, Electronics

Centrica, owner of British Gas, is cutting 1,300 call centre jobs, and its chief executive says changing customer behaviour is the main reason. The company plans to remove 800 roles as part of a “targeted deployment of AI tools,” on top of the 500 cuts announced last month. Customer service teams in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Leicester, Stockport, and Leeds will be affected over the next two years.

Some positions will disappear when employees leave and are not replaced, while the remaining cuts will come through redundancies. Trade unions have warned that Centrica’s AI investment will hand hundreds of human jobs to chatbots.
