The new Dell XPS 14 is good but… the older models start at just $599 right now

If you’re a fan of high-end laptops no doubt you’ve heard that Dell has just released a new line of gorgeous 14-inch and 16-inch XPS models. With a design that’s reminiscent of last year’s Dell XPS 13 Plus, these models are shaping up to be a fantastic option for those who want a lightweight and stylish Windows machine.

They are pricey, however, with the 14-inch model starting at a hefty $1,499 for the baseline Core Ultra i7 / 512GB SSD configuration. Our hands-on Dell XPS 14 review has been positive so far, but those looking for a cheaper alternative should definitely check out this week’s deals at Dell on the older XPS models.

Right now, for example, you can get up to $500 off these exceptional machines with Black Friday-level deals. Sure, they may lack the shiny new trackpad-less design, but some of these models boast some serious specs for the money. The Core i7 Dell XPS 13 sits at just $799 (was $999) currently, and you can even pick up the baseline Core i5 model for an eye-wateringly low $599 (was $799).

You can check out more about these models with our Dell XPS 13 review – and we’ve also included some more of today’s best XPS 13 and XPS 15 deals below. There are some superb options right now, so definitely don’t skip out on these models just because they’re a little older now.
