The Dell XPS 13 line of laptops are popular thin-and-lights due to a combination of compact design, decent build quality, and reasonably strong performance… but they’re not exactly cheap.
Prices start at $850 for the latest model with an Intel Core i3 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage — and you’ll pay quite a bit more if you want higher-end specs.
But if you opt for last year’s Dell XPS 13, you can save some cash. A Core i3-7100U/4GB/128GB version is currently on sale for $700. And if you want a version with a Core i5-8250U or faster processor, you can save up to $100 by picking up a previous-gen model rather than the newest version.
Or you can just buy a different laptop — there are plenty of others in today’s roundup.

I’m interested in the Lenovo S330. Is it 1080P or 768P? On Lenovo’s own page it say at top “FHD 1080P” But at the bottom it says, “HD 1366 x 768” You’d think a big company like Lenovo could afford a proofreader.
Both the 14″ and 11.6″ listings show 1366×768 when I go to the site…. That’s under the tech specs, and I’d trust that over the marketing lingo elsewhere on the page!
I personally would go for a business model over XPS. A laptop should last more than 10 years.
