Sometimes it seems modern technology has been compartmentalized into fine points — the right laptop for a gamer is too tailored for a photographer; the right tablet for a child isn’t powerful enough for a student. Dell has painted an amazingly broad stroke with the XPS 13, creating a portable computing experience meant for everybody. The Dell XPS 13 features a sharp 13.3-inch screen that can blast through your weekend movie watching, and is backed with the graphics and processing power to brainstorm ideas and create content at just about any level.

But the Dell XPS 13 has a practical side as well. A revolutionary webcam with noise-reduction technology improves video quality in all lighting conditions, keeping you seen in your hangouts with colleagues and family. Voice activation responds to your voice from up to 14 feet away, and Dell Mobile Connect allows for connectivity among your other devices, creating an immersive and integrated computing experience and workflow. The Dell XPS 13 offers a light body and clean, minimal design, making it a great addition to anybody’s computing arsenal.

You can currently grab a Dell XPS 13 on sale at Dell for $700, a savings of $250 off its regular price of $950. It’ll fit nicely into any work bag or briefcase, and if you’re looking for one of those as well, we’ve tracked down what we feel are the best laptop bags for men. Head over to Dell to make a new XPS 13 laptop yours while this sale lasts.

A toast to excellence: Don’t overthink lighting a cigar…but don’t underthink it either 
Face, Head, Person

When I first decided I was ready to try cigars for the first time, I was ready to jump right in and sit back to enjoy the experience. Then, something crazy happened. I couldn’t light it. It seemed so simple. Flame, meet cigar. It really couldn’t be that complicated. But I ran into a slew of problems. The wrong kind of flame, canoeing, an uneven burn, and the damn thing kept going out, causing me to restart the embarrassing process. So I reached out to my friends over at La Aurora to find out what I was doing wrong.

That is when I found out from their own John Gaglio that these issues are very common and there is no reason to be embarrassed. Instead, don’t overthink lighting your cigar. And don’t underthink it. Instead, try to use the following tips and enjoy the experience without shame.

Topgolf brings back John Daly to continue to “disrupt” the game
john daly

To the uninitiated, golf can feel like a stuffy game. There is a dress code, there is an etiquette, and you even have to be quiet. At a sporting event. For those of us who love golf (don’t get me wrong, I am a huge fan but believe it is called golf because the other four-letter words are taken), we recognize golf isn’t stuffy as much as it is steeped in tradition. But there has always been one man who shirked the shackles of the tradition and disrupted the game of golf with one of the most immaculate vibes in the sport, John Daly. With his drinking, smoking, wild pants, wilder mouth, and general who-gives-a-sh*t nature, he was everything golf wanted to keep out. Now, the game embraces him and his vibe, and Topgolf brought him in to continue the disruption.

I love the vibe at Topgolf. It’s a place where you can smash a golf ball, listen to music, have a drink, and enjoy yourself with friends and family. That’s my kind of golf. – John Daly

Cigar Lounge Spotlight: The Carnegie Club takes you back to Rat Pack days
Couch, Furniture, Body Part

Three blocks south of Central Park, before you find yourself lost in the hectic environment of Times Square, is a cigar lounge tucked back away from the hustle and bustle. It almost feels like a secret. A place only those in the know are privy to. Of course, if that is the intention, then lovers of this establishment will be coming for me in no time with their pitchforks. I am talking about The Carnegie Club—a cigar lounge sitting on 56th Street between 6th and 7th Avenue. From the moment you walk in, it doesn’t feel like a normal, run-of-the-mill bar. No, this has a New York feel, but a specific kind of New York feel. One that harkens back to the days of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. This feels like the Rat Pack days.
