The Dell XPS 13 has been a real favorite here at TechRadar over the past few years, so it's easy to recommend today's excellent deals on this stunning laptop in Dell's official Labor Day sale.

Prices for the Dell XPS 13 start at just $899 (was $1249) for the entry-level Ultra 5 chipset version, which is a fantastic choice for most users. While it's the baseline spec, you still get a lightweight and premium laptop with 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and a chipset that's more than capable of handling most everyday tasks.

If you need something with a little more power, however, then today's $350 discount also applies to other configurations. You could, for example, upgrade to an Ultra 7 or an Ultra 9 chipset version for heaps of multi-tasking headroom.

If you're feeling particularly flush, you could even opt for the stunning 3K OLED display that particularly impressed us when we tried it out for our latest Dell XPS 13 (2025) review.

Whichever configuration you go for, the Dell XPS 13 remains a compact, premium, and lightweight Windows laptop with decent performance and battery life. We rank it as the top Windows ultrabook in our best laptops buyer's guide, so a full $350 discount across the board is definitely worth considering in our books.
