One of the best laptops is at its cheapest price of the year
Best deals for Black Friday

When folks think about thin and light laptops, their first thought might be something like the MacBook Air, which, unfortunately, is expensive and means you need to buy into the Apple ecosystem if you aren't already. Luckily, Dell has its own response in the form of the Dell XPS 13, and it's not only light but also relatively cheap compared to a MacBook Air. In fact, Dell has discounted one of its configurations down to just $599 from the $799 it was before, saving you a respectable $200.

Why you should buy the Dell XPS 13
Under the hood, the Dell XPS 13 runs an Intel i5-1230U processor, and if you're not familiar with processors in general, it's a great mid-range CPU. For the most part, it will let you complete all your productivity tasks, like word processing, making spreadsheets, and so forth, without a hitch. Unfortunately, this configuration of the Dell XPS 13 doesn't have its own GPU, so you won't be able to do much gaming; mostly, just older and smaller indie games will work. RAM is really good with 8GB of DDR5, the fastest on the market, and while we would have liked to see 16GB, it's not at all bad for the price tag, and the same goes for the 256GB of storage.
