The XPS 13 is an excellent laptop. In fact, it's the best laptop for most people thanks to its slim design, gorgeous display, fast performance and epic battery life. If you're in the market for a portable laptop, this is the deal for you.
The XPS 13 has been our top laptop for several years running. In our XPS 13 review, we applauded the laptop's premium and portable chassis, which mixes elements of aluminum and carbon fiber to great effect.
When we weren't marveling at its design, the XPS 13's stunning 13.3-inch display demanded our attention. It's not just that the panel is beautiful, but that the slim bezels surrounding the display draw your eyes toward the content.
If you already own an XPS 13 or have been eyeing one for a few years, the best reason to buy this specific 2019 model is for the improved webcam. Previously located below the display, this year's XPS 13 has a tiny, custom-made camera on the bezel above the screen.
And, in typical XPS 13 fashion, the laptop offered epic battery life, at 12 hours and 22 minutes, along with speedy performance. Overall, we gave the laptop a 4.5-star rating and an Editor's Choice award for being a well-rounded machine that's great for students, business users, and everyday consumers.
Not every deal is worth a squeal. Get only the good stuff from us.
The deal scientists at Laptop Mag won't direct you to measly discounts. We ensure you'll only get the laptop and tech sales that are worth shouting about -- delivered directly to your inbox this holiday season.
We strongly recommend taking advantage of this awesome deal, but you should be aware that a newer XPS 13 model with 10th Gen Intel chips is now available. It offers a slight performance bump over its predecessor, but that's about it.
We don't typically find such steep discounts on top laptops like the XPS 13, so you shouldn't sit on this one.
