<p>Here's a massive $350 discount on the stunning Dell XPS 13. The XPS 13 is one of the brand's most premium models, and it melds a high-end MacBook-like design with powerful components. With this deal, you get the higher-end Snapdragon configuration, which means plenty of power and almost unbeatable battery life. Snapdragon-based systems do still have a few application compatibility issues, however, so it's worth checking all your favorite apps are fully supported.
