Our favorite deal so far? It's got to be the excellent Dell XPS 13 for just $599 (was $799).

Dell Labor Day sale: today's best deals
Dell XPS 13 laptop: was $799 now $599 at Dell
Lowest ever price: Here we go folks - this is the cheapest price we've ever seen for a Dell XPS 13 laptop, and it's one of the latest models no less. As you'd expect, this isn't the highest configuration since it's got a 12th gen Intel Core i5 chipset, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD, but this is a superb price for such a premium machine. The main selling points for the XPS 13 are the gorgeous aluminum chassis, excellent display, and incredibly lightweight design that's perfect for everyday carry.
Dell Inspiron 15: was $479.99 now $279.99 at Dell
Dell's early Labor Day sale features some terrific laptop deals, such as this affordable mid-range Inspiron 15. With an Intel i3 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a large 512GB SSD, it's excellent value for money if you need a straightforward device for your everyday computing needs and light work. It's a limited-time offer, though, so best snap it up quickly.

While it's not the cheapest laptop deal you'll find in the sales ahead of Labor Day, this Dell Inspiron 15 is a superb bang-for-the-buck mid-range option. For the price, its combination of an AMD Ryzen 7-5700U chipset, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD are absolutely fantastic and should set you up nicely for a wide range of work, school, and casual tasks. Aside from gaming, there's not much this machine can't handle, even if it is a little workmanlike in its overall design.

Another fantastic option at Dell this week, this 14-inch Inspiron is a powerful 2-in-1 device that will double up as a handy tablet.

Dell Inspiron 14 Plus laptop: was $1,349 now $799.99 at Dell
This huge discount on the Inspiron 14 Plus has the potential to be the real sleeper hit of the Dell Labor Day sale. While the Inspiron 14 Plus lacks the pizzazz of its XPS siblings, pound for pound, you're getting a much more powerful machine here thanks to the superb Intel Core i7-12700H chipset, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD. These are really tasty specs to get at this price point and you'll have no issues speeding through most tasks with this machine. Overall, it's a little bulkier than the XPS but a 14-inch form factor means this Inspiron Plus is still a good choice for portability too.
Dell XPS 13 laptop: was $1,099 now $849 at Dell
The Dell XPS 13 is a fantastic choice if you need a lightweight Windows machine with plenty of power. This particular configuration features a speedy Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD, ensuring plenty of capacity for all but the most demanding of tasks. While a little pricey for a Windows machine, this is a fantastic price for a configuration that's a step above the usual entry-level XPS 13 machines with Core i5 chipsets.
Dell XPS 15 laptop: was $1,559 now $1,349 at Dell
This is the best deal we've spotted on the premium Dell XPS 15 in today's Dell Labor Day sale. With a full $200 off, this is a good price for a high-end machine with an Intel Core i7-13700H processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. The up-to-date chipset is the selling point in this model since it'll allow you to blast through nearly all tasks. You also get an Intel Arc A370M graphics card in this configuration, which should be good for design and video work (and a spot of light gaming).
Note, this listing is now sold out but you can still get a great $400 off deal on a more premium spec here.
Dell XPS 13 Plus laptop: was $1,949 now $1,599 at Dell
This is the best price we've seen yet on the highest-end Dell XPS 13 Plus model - one that features an Intel Core i7-1360P chipset, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. These specs alone are outstanding for a lightweight, 13-inch machine but you're also getting a stunning 3.5k OLED display on this model. While we wouldn't recommend this machine to all due to the price, if you're looking for a premium machine that's all about portability and the display, definitely check this deal out.
