Tom's Hardware review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐½View Deal
The new Dell XPS 13 has been making waves in the PC market for its shockingly high quality for an entry-level laptop.
Even our Windows laptop connoisseurs Zac Bowden and Cale Hunt were blown away by this laptop, with Cale calling it the "perfect starter PC" and Zac saying, "MacBook Neo's reign as the best deal in computing is well and truly over, all thanks to Dell".
They don't make those comments lightly because the Dell XPS 13 has plenty of features to help it live up to the hype and make it an easy recommendation for beginner PC users, students, and workers.
2lb for easy portability.
