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

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included). You can buy power cables compatible with Bosch, Shimano, or USB-A terminals or connections, with more info on those available on Garmin...

Hackers steal passwords, emails from hookup websites

Two gay hookup websites have been breached with sensitive and personal user data stolen and sold online, new reports have claimed. The databases, which are now being sold on dark web forums, were taken from platforms called TruckerSucker, and CityJerks. They contain enough personally identifiable information to engage in identity theft , such as usernames and passwords, email addresses, profile pictures, sexual preferences, birth dates, postal addresses, IP addresses, and bios. The passwords are encrypted, but according to TechCrunch, the algorithm is “weak” and could be broken by a more persistent hacker. The silent treatment HaveIBeenPwned founder Troy Hunt, who was tipped off on the leak, described the incident as a “typical forum breach, albeit with super sensitive content.”  However the content includes more than just identity data, as there are also messages users exchanged, including arranging meetings and describing their sexual preferences.  In total, more than...
