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 is investigating more incidents of AI agents going rogue days after hack

It appears that the "AI agents going rogue" tale has more to it than what AI giants have revealed publicly so far. Merely days after OpenAI announced that its AI agents went rogue and hacked Hugging Face, Anthropic dropped a similar bombshell. Soon, it was discovered that not just one, but multiple services were compromised. Well, it seems there are even more layers to it.

Reuters reports that OpenAI has found more incidents of AI agents escaping their software containment environment during research. Citing sources with knowledge of the incident, the outlet notes that the AI agents didn't go beyond OpenAI's software environment and affect any external service.

AI is finding Apple security flaws faster than Apple can sort through them
Apple has limited how many bug reports researchers can keep open as AI tools produce both genuine Mac vulnerabilities and a flood of questionable submissions
Lighting, Architecture, Building

Apple has capped the number of security reports researchers can keep open at once after AI bug hunting put its review process under pressure, according to the Financial Times.

Some submissions describe hallucinated or purely theoretical risks. Others uncover vulnerabilities serious enough to require patches. Bynario told the FT that it found more than 50 possible macOS flaws in three weeks, including a privilege-escalation chain that could give an attacker full control of a Mac.

Anthropic is paying $1.5 billion over pirated books, but it can still legally cut up purchased ones
The settlement addressed unauthorized ebook downloads, not the destructive scanning of lawfully bought physical copies, a distinction now alarming booksellers
Book, Publication, Indoors

A federal judge has approved Anthropic’s $1.5 billion settlement over nearly half a million pirated books. The same litigation also protected a more physical method of feeding its AI systems. Anthropic bought print books, removed their bindings, scanned every page and destroyed the originals.

The legal divide came down to acquisition. The settlement covers books downloaded from LibGen and PiLiMi, while the court treated Anthropic’s one-for-one conversion of purchased books into private digital files as fair use. Training AI models on lawfully acquired material was also considered transformative.
