Dell XPS 13 crashes to record-low price: save $300 on one of the best laptops of 2024

The Dell XPS 13 is down to just $799 at the official Dell site today with a whopping $300 discount on the mid-range Core i7 model.

While you can also pick up the entry-level Core i5 model for just $599 right now, we'd single out the Core i7 configuration in particular as a better buy of the two. Not only do you get a comparatively beefy chipset with this one (more than enough for most tasks), but this config also comes with a full 16GB set of RAM. We'd consider 16GB of RAM as almost essential if you're planning on tackling heavier workloads with your laptop. 

Of course, the main selling point for the Dell XPS 13 remains its exceptional design, high-end build quality, and extremely thin form factor. Our Dell XPS 13 (2022) review praised all these factors, awarding this model a healthy four stars out of five. The almost-unbeatable slimness does come with a trade-off, however, in the form of a slightly more limited port selection with the two sole USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports. 

Still, if you're looking for a well-priced premium Windows laptop that can handle a wide range of tasks, we'd happily recommend this one at $799. It's highly likely to be the best price on this side of the upcoming President's Day laptop sales in February, too.

Dell XPS 13 at record-low price

Dell XPS 13 laptop: was $1,099 now $799 at Dell
 Processor: Intel Core i7-1250U
RAM: 16GB
SSD: 512GB

The Dell XPS 13 is a superb choice if you're looking for a powerful and lightweight Windows laptop. At $300 off, this mid-range model is a great buy thanks to its combination of a Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD. We rarely see Dell's Ultrabooks go this low in price, so don't hesitate to pick it up with this Black Friday level deal. View Deal

Apple MacBook Air M1: was $999 now $749 at Amazon
Processor: Apple M1
RAM: 8GB
SSD: 256GB

Record low price: If you're shopping in this price range, it's hard not to recommend the MacBook Air M1. While this 2020 model is a little older now, it still holds up great, thanks to the speedy M1 chipset and continued software support. Its 256GB SSD is definitely on the small side now, but it will suffice for the basics - and it's $50 cheaper than the XPS 13 while offering a similar 'premium' laptop experience. Definitely worth considering.View Deal

TechRadar's Year in Review: AI revolution, smartphone evolution, and visions of the future

If I had to sum up 2023 in one word it would be AI. Okay, technically that’s two initials, but let’s not quibble – because there’s no doubt that it provided the year in tech with its main story arc. Artificial intelligence was everywhere this year, as every company in the world gawped at the massive impact of ChatGPT, and decided they wanted to jump aboard that bandwagon. You could barely move for new chatbots, new image generators, and new AI-enhanced features in every device released in 2023. And there’s no sign of that changing in 2024; in fact, we expect it to be an even bigger deal. Elsewhere, phones and laptops did much the same as they had the previous year – well, except where they had new AI-enhanced features – so it was in the virtual reality space where bigger changes were afoot. If the Meta Quest 3 was impressive then the Apple Vision Pro looks to be genuinely game-changing, and we can’t wait to see what impact it has in the next 12 months. Of course we also saw plenty ...

Microsoft and Sony enter "binding agreement" to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation

Microsoft has announced that it has reached a "binding agreement" with Sony, pledging to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation following the acquisition of Activision Blizzard.  With Microsoft having won its anti-trust case with the US Federal Trade Commission , its planned acquisition of Call of Duty developers Activision Blizzard has taken a big step closer to becoming a reality. In order to alleviate the concerns of monopoly-building that got Microsoft in legal hot water to begin with, the head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, announced yesterday via Tweet that it has entered into an "agreement to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation."  This agreement will no doubt come as a relief to fans concerned that Microsoft's acquisition plans might result in Call of Duty becoming an Xbox exclusive, following in the footsteps of future Bethesda releases. Since Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda caused the studio to break its tradition of offering titles cross-platform for upcomi...

This Stardew Valley-like farming sim plays at the bottom of your screen so you work and play at the same time

Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing are among some of the best choices out there if you're looking for a game to get swept up in for hours at a time. But, if you're a fan of management sims and a multitasker as well, this upcoming farming sim will likely pique your interest.  Developed by Mister Morris Games, Rusty's Retirement is an idle-farming simulation game that runs at the bottom of your gaming monitor, allowing you to focus on other tasks like working while you tend to your crops. Set to release in Q1 2024 on Steam , the idle sim puts you in the shoes of a wholesome robot as you grow crops and use them to produce clean and energy-efficient biofuel. Having gathered this "vital robot power source," you'll then need to sell your harvest to the other machine inhabitants of your settlement. This, in turn, will let you reinvest the money into expanding your farm. If you're a terrible procrastinator (like me) this might not sound like your cup of tea...
