Dell is running a sale on several configurations of last year’s XPS 13 thin and light laptop. You won’t get the same Intel Ice Lake processor, Iris Plus graphics, or 16:10 display that the company offers with the 2020 model. But you can save a lot of money on a still-pretty-good ultraportable notebook.
Prices start at just $700 for a model with a Core i3-8145U dual-core processor, 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, but I’d recommend upgrading to at least the $850 version to get 2X the CPU cores, memory, and storage.

I was able to convince management to get me an XPS 13 last year with Ubuntu, and I highly recommend it.
