I've just spotted what's perhaps the best high-end laptop deal we'll see ahead of this year's Black Friday sales next month - it's this Dell XPS 14 for just $999 (was $1,499) at the official Dell store.

This is the lowest price yet for this stunning 2024 Ultrabook and is well worth checking out if you're on the hunt for a powerful and premium Windows machine. With a full $500 off, I'd be surprised if this one goes any lower over Black Friday since you're already getting a massive 33% discount.

The Dell XPS 14 melds a premium high-end design with a great display and powerful components to provide a model that's great for both personal and business use. At 14 inches, it's an extremely portable laptop but also one that's still capable of handling most tasks thanks to the combination of an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD.

While it's by no means a cheap laptop, I'd highly recommend considering this one if you want a machine that's going to last a good few years down the line.

As previously stated, we're starting to see early Black Friday laptop deals crop up at leading retailers. Just yesterday I reported that the excellent MacBook Air M2 is now on sale for a record-low price of just $699 and now Windows users have a deal that's arguably just as strong in the form of this discounted Dell XPS 14.

It's well worth checking out our Dell XPS 14 review if you want a detailed expert rundown of this model. We loved the OLED display in particular with our review unit but note that today's listing is for the standard FHD Plus display - the 3k OLED display is an optional $300 upgrade.

The excellent MacBook Air M2 is down to a brand new record-low price thanks to an incredible surprise deal at Amazon ahead of Black Friday. Right now, this is easily one of the best laptop deals on the market considering this model still holds up amazingly well for 2024. Not only do you get a great chipset, battery life, and display, but this price brings it right down to the usual price for the way older M1 model.
