Treat yourself to 20% off the XPS 13 in Dell's 11/11 sale
Plus, more ace discounts on laptops and gaming gear
Singles' Day (or Guanggun Jie) had its humble beginnings in China back 1993 to celebrate the pride of being single. Because of all the ones in the date, November 11 (11/11) was chosen as the day for celebrating single-dom.
Singles' Day, however, is no longer restricted to China, with the sales held on the day spreading to South-East Asia, then creeping below the equator to Australia and New Zealand as well.
With the event picking up pace in Australia over the last couple of years, Dell has gotten into the spirit of things and is currently hosting a 11/11 sale, with up to 40% off a wide range of its machines, including our favourite XPS device, a huge selection of Inspiron laptops and some Alienware gaming beasts.
There's a lot to choose from on Dell's online storefront, so we've put in the hard yards and cherry-picked the best offers for you.
