You might already be sorted with a new device for the current school year, but if you've found that your current machine isn't up to the job, or you were waiting for the right offer to come along, then you won't want to miss this Dell XPS 13 for £699 (was £921.05).

Under £700 for a Dell XPS 13 is a fantastic deal, especially since we regularly rate it here at TechRadar as one of the best Windows laptops. In fact, the current £200 saving drops the device to one of the lowest prices we've ever seen, making it even more of a bargain if you want a powerful all-around machine.

This XPS 13 features a 13.4-inch 2.5K touchscreen display, an Intel Core 5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage. That's a good entry-level build that will comfortably handle general day-to-day use, as well as your educational needs at school, college, or university. We would have liked to see more RAM nowadays, but given the ongoing PC component crisis, this is a reasonable amount for the price.

The Dell XPS 13 is one of our favourite laptops here at TechRadar, and now the excellent all-around Windows laptop is down to a fantastic low price for students after this £200 discount. You get a crisp 13.4-inch display, an Intel Core 5 processor, 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, which is everything you need for solid everyday performance at work or college. This offer will likely end soon, so jump on it while you can.

I encourage eligible students still looking for a new device to take Dell up on this offer while it's still available, as it's a solid rival to the budget-friendly MacBook Neo if you prefer a Windows machine.

We scored it a respectable 3.5 stars in our updated Dell XPS 13 review, with our main issue being the price, given it only has 8GB of RAM. However, with the current discount, it becomes a much more viable option, especially as you still get a fast, stylish, and efficient machine with excellent battery life.
