Last week, I reported that the stunning new Dell XPS 14 — the brand's latest Ultrabook — had just received its first-ever price cut at the official Dell Store. This week, I've spotted even more discounts on this fantastic new machine and its larger 16-inch sibling.
First up, there's the 14-inch model variant with an Ultra X7 chipset, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD for $1,799 (was $2,049) — an impressive $250 discount. This deal beats the discount from last week on the baseline Ultra 5 configuration, and by my own price tracking, appears to be the first discount on this higher-end variant.

Dell's latest high-end Ultrabooks are impressive
We haven't had the chance to fully test out the latest Dell XPS 14 here at TechRadar, but we were impressed when we checked them out in person. Our sister site, Tom's Hardware, has a very in-depth review that I'd recommend reading for more details.
In a nutshell, the latest XPS series is a real return to form from the brand's more divisive iterations in the past few years. The machines have been redesigned to be a little more modern, minimalist, and overall lighter. Of particular note is the return of physical function keys, replacing the widely criticized capacitive touch bar. There’s also a redesigned haptic touchpad with subtle tactile edges, a much sharper 8MP / 4K webcam.
Under the hood, the latest XPS machines are solely powered by the latest iteration of Intel Core Ultra 300 series processors — no options for AMD this year. The key selling point for these chipsets is outstanding battery life, which can reach up to 20 hours on the non-OLED display model (such as the 14-inch model above).
