Dell's Black Friday deals continue to flow.

One of our favorite all-around laptops is the Editor's Choice Dell XPS 15, which is now down to just $999 during Dell's sale. That's a $300 discount over the usual $1,299 price and a solid price savings worth highlighting this Black Friday season.

We've only seen this 13th-generation Intel Core i7-powered Dell XPS 15 laptop hit this price once before, earlier this month. Even though it is a 2023 system, it remains a great choice if your component needs are modest to mid-range. At this price, this configuration includes Intel's integrated Iris Xe graphics, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD.

When we reviewed the Dell XPS 15, we looked at a more tricked-out configuration with double the RAM and storage and discrete Nvidia GeForce RTX4070 graphics.

We loved that version and found it delivered top-shelf performance for creators, students, and business pros. While the model on sale now lacks those power components, it has the same elegant design as the model that so impressed us that we gave it an Editor's Choice.

The Dell XPS 15 is a strong laptop choice available now at great savings. See our Black Friday 2024 deals hub for more early holiday discounts.
