Calm down. This is a great deal for an XPS. The IRIS XE onboard is a huge upgrade from UHD Intel of yore.

I just paid a similar price for an HP x360 14" with inferior specs.

Under 3 pounds, 11th gen i7, 1TB SSD, touchscreen, solid build business laptop with 14+ hour battery life. This is not a gaming laptop. Please identify something with better specs for a significantly lower price.

No one needs a higher res in a 13in screen. It's marketing that makes you think you do.

You won't receive this for a month: Thursday, Sep 23 with Express Delivery

However, nice deal if these specs work for you. Too bad this doesn't have the option for the higher resolution screens.

Use coupon code "SAVE12" for additional 12% off.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but this seems to be the best deal I've seen yet on a well spec'd XPS 13. And oddly enough the lower spec'd machines are actually going for MORE money. Is this not a good deal? What am I missing here?
Not 9310 model.

Slick Quick* Deal. With Dell you always always always call in for your order. They always bring down the price.

Damn I thought for a second this was the 9310 and almost jumped at the deal. Been waiting for months.

Great deal on the world's best overall laptop. I bought the original in 2015, and it is still going strong. NO problems whatsoever, aside from an overactive fan which they fixed in subsequent versions.

From NotebookCheck.net's Daniel R. Deakin:
Quote :
The XPS 13 9305 has a 16:9 aspect ratio, 1920x1080 resolution, and it offers an 80.7% screen-to-body ratio. That is certainly nothing to turn your nose up at, but the XPS 13 9310 has a 16:10 aspect ratio, 1920x1200 resolution (for the FHD+ model), and a much more attractive 91.5% screen-to-body ratio.
Another useful comparison is to Dell's Inspiron 13, both 2-in-1 (7306) and non-touch (5310), which is a only $100 to $170 cheaper than this deal. Most importantly, you know this is a good deal if the XPS line is priced similarly to the lower-quality Inspiron line, but there are other pros and cons:
  • The non-touch Inspiron model has a 16:10 display and a faster i7-11370H processor
  • The 2-in-1 Inspiron is slightly cheaper at $950 has a slower i5 processor and 8 GB RAM
  • Neither Inspiron has a 1 TB hard drive but both have more ports like USB A
Overall a good deal. Noticeably cheaper than any i7-based HP Spectre with touch or Yoga 9i.

Really?! I'd never heard that before.

Anyone been able to call in and get this deal even lower?

It almost never works on already discounted prices. You can sometimes do this on stuff that is regular price on the website, but for stuff like this they'll claim it's either already on sale, or use the same coupon code as this deal, for example, to say they're getting you a secret deal.

$1k laptop for a 4-core processor with no dedicated graphics? There has to be a sucker born every minute. Why stop there? Why not call this an i9 and jack up the price to really reel em in.
