Similar to Apple, Dell often charges a premium for its high-end laptops in the XPS 13 lineup. However, there is now a new laptop deal available for the Dell XPS 13 9315 that offers the configuration with 32GB of RAM at its lowest price yet.
Best Buy is currently offering a discount of $350 on the Dell XPS 13 with an Intel Core i7-1250U and 32GB of soldered LPDDR5 RAM. This brings the sale price down to $999, which includes free shipping or store pickup. This discount represents a significant 26% off Dell’s official list price for this particular version of the XPS 13.
In addition to the impressive RAM, the Dell XPS 13 features a vibrant IPS display with a resolution of 1920 by 1200 and a peak brightness of 500 nits. It also comes with a 1TB SSD and a 51Wh battery, which contributes to a remarkable battery life of nearly 15 hours when browsing the web via WiFi.
For more detailed information on the Dell XPS 13 9315, we encourage you to read our comprehensive review. We were particularly impressed with its well-built chassis, silent cooling system, fantastic speakers, and decent FHD+ screen. However, we did find the performance of our Core i5-powered test unit to be underwhelming, and we were disappointed by the lack of upgradable components, including the memory and SSD, which are soldered onto the motherboard.
Nevertheless, if you’re in the market for an ultra-portable alternative to the MacBook Air 13 in the $1,000 price range, this discounted Core i7 configuration of the Dell XPS 13 could be a viable option.
