The Dell XPS 14 9440 is a new model for the brand following the Dell XPS reset early last year, and the laptop has certainly turned heads with its sleek and modern design. It’s not all about the looks though — it’s also a reliable machine with the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 graphics card, and 16GB of RAM. The device also has Windows 11 Home pre-installed in its 1TB SSD, and it’s equipped with a 14.5-inch screen with Full HD+ resolution and nearly no bezels surrounding it.

You can currently buy the Dell XPS 14 9440 at 15% off, which translates to $300 in savings on its sticker price of $2,000. That means you’ll only have to pay $1,700 for this powerful laptop, but this offer isn’t expected to last long.
