Dell's latest semi-annual sale is now live, and it features some terrific prices on a range of the manufacturer's most popular laptops. There are dozens of devices to choose from, but the one that stands out most to us is this powerful and well-built Dell XPS 13 that's now $949 (opens in new tab).
That's still pricey for a laptop, but it's actually $50 cheaper than the offer we saw over Presidents' Day and one of the lowest prices for the XPS 13 since Black Friday last November, so now's the time to buy.
For the money, you get a workstation that's comfortable with tackling all of your everyday computing tasks, more demanding work, and multitasking. Based on that, it's well worth the investment. Even more so when it's considered by TechRadar's reviewers to be one of the best laptops you can buy today in terms of value for money alone – and now it's even cheaper.
You get some excellent components for the money, such as a fast and modern Intel i7 processor, a healthy 16GB of RAM to boost performance, and a large 512GB SSD for ample storage space. That's all wrapped up in the slim and portable XPS design, with a bright and high-definition 13.4-inch display.
Check it out in more detail below, as well as a couple of other more budget-friendly options that have caught our eye in the full Dell Semi-Annual sale (opens in new tab). Altogether, these are some of the best laptop deals you can find right now, with savings of up to $500.
Today's best Dell laptop deals
In our Dell XPS 13 review, we found the latest version of the long-running laptop was once again an ideal pick for most users - whether that's general everyday use or more productivity-focused tasks. You get an impressive level of performance at this price.
The slim and light design is great for portability, so it's a good pick if you need a laptop that can keep up with your computing needs while on the go. Thankfully, battery life is reasonable at around seven hours, so that's close to a full day of work on a single charge.
Of course, if your needs are less intensive or you have a smaller budget then you might be better off looking for a more affordable device such as one of the Inspiron laptops above. We've also rounded up more of today's top laptop deals below.
