Dell XPS 15-2-1 review

The Dell XPS 13 is one of our favorite Windows 10 laptops, but it is usually quite expensive. If you’ve been thinking of picking one up, but have been worried by the price tag, now is your chance to save big. Dell is currently offering $479 off the 4K touchscreen version of the XPS 13.

While it is not clear how long it will last, this sale is bringing the price of the Buy at Amazon down from $1,979 to $1,500. This deal price includes an instant $279 savings, as well as an additional $200 discount when you use the code 200OFF1599 at checkout. The sale model comes equipped with an eighth-generation Intel Core i7-8550U processor, 8GB of RAM, and a spacious 512GB solid-state drive. We reviewed a similar version of this laptop in 2018 and really liked its luxurious look, great keyboard and touchpad, and strong performance.

It should be noted that this sale model covers an older model of the XPS 13. Unlike the new 2019 XPS 13, it still features a webcam in the middle part of the display. Still, since it comes with a high-resolution 4K touchscreen, there is plenty of value in the price. This version of the XPS 13 also has everything needed for multitasking, day-to-day web browsing, watching movies, and general computing activities.

Buy at Dell

If you’re looking to save on the Buy at Amazon , Dell still has you covered. The base model of the device is currently on sale for $900, instead of the usual price of $978. It comes configured with the eighth-generation Intel Core i3-8145U processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 128GB solid-state drive. These might seem like basic specifications, but the laptop is still a great choice for students or professionals interested in general web browsing or editing documents in Microsoft Office.

We recently reviewed the new model and really liked the new sleek design, colors, and the redesigned hinge that opens more easily. Only reduced battery life held it back from being perfect — though we reviewed a power-hungry 4K model.

Everything You Need in Your First Laptop Without the Luxury Price Tag 
The Dell 15 makes its case that budget laptops do not have to feel cheap, or sluggish.

The PC market has never been more diverse, and utterly punishing on the wallet, thanks to the AI boom and resultant price inflation we are seeing in 2026. Most people shopping for a pocket-friendly laptop don’t necessarily care about core counts, clock speeds, or refresh rates. They want something that opens Chrome quickly, plays Netflix without stuttering, and survives a few years of assignments.

For a long time, that was too much to ask. I’ve tested plenty of budget laptops that felt tired out of the box, with plastic that flexed under my palms and fans that roared every time I opened a few tabs. Most of them felt noticeably slower within a year.

Following Anthropic's lead, OpenAI is bringing its Chat and Work capabilities together.
Using ChatGPT on a phone.

OpenAI is making a few changes to how ChatGPT handles conversations and more complicated work. The company is now planning to merge the Chat and Work tabs into a single experience, allowing users to ask questions and get things done without having to switch between different tabs. The change will initially be available to select users before a wider rollout.

For the unaware, Anthropic made a similar change to Claude back in September, when it merged the Chat and Cowork functions into one screen.

The iPhone Duo taught the iPad a much-needed lesson in multitasking. iPadOS 27.2 makes Split View less of a chore.
A small iPad tweak that fixes a big daily annoyance.
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

It’s funny when a brand-new phone teaches an old tablet a lesson. That’s exactly what the iPhone Duo seems to have done for the iPad. I’m genuinely glad somebody at Apple was paying attention, as it was overdue.

iPadOS 27.2 makes setting up side-by-side apps on an iPad much easier, and it is an iPad multitasker’s dream come true if you ask me.
