The Dell XPS 13 Snapdragon X Elite laptop lasts 20 hours on a single charge. It’s now just $999.
Dell isn’t officially calling its latest collection of offers a back-to-school sale, but it’s a bunch of laptop deals and it’s during the back-to-school season so we’re making an executive decision here. We’re especially excited about the Dell XPS 13 Snapdragon X Elite Laptop, which is down to the lowest price yet for this newly released laptop.The Dell XPS 13 Snapdragon X Elite Laptop is available for $999 at Dell, down from the usual $1,299. We spotted this laptop on sale last month when it was $1,099, but this month’s deal knocks an extra $100 off the price, making it an excellent addition to our best back-to-school laptop deals.It’s also worth noting that students can save an extra 10% via Dell’s student discount program, bringing the price down to $899. We punched those numbers into our calculator, and it made a happy face.In our Dell XPS 13 Snapdragon X Elite review, we praised the laptop for its slim and lightweight design, which makes it ideal for people on the go. The bright display allows you to use it outdoors without being at the mercy of the sun’s glare, and the excellent battery life — our test saw it last more than 20 hours on a single charge — means you won’t need to run back to a wall outlet every few hours. This laptop is slim and portable, has a bright display, and delivers outstanding performance and battery life. Unlike most laptops which use an Intel or AMD CPU, this latest XPS uses — as the name suggests — a Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite X1E-80-100 processor. This chipset packs some serious performance too. In our Geekbench 6.3 overall performance test, the Dell XPS 13 scored 14,635, leaving the average premium laptop score (8927) in its dust, and even smoking top competitors like the Apple MacBook Air M3 (12,087) and Asus Zenbook 14 (12,707).It’s also the first XPS series laptop to feature Microsoft’s CoPilot+ AI. This onboard AI companion is designed to help enhance your windows experience by assisting you with everyday tasks. You can check out a full list of CoPilot’s features.It’s not a perfect laptop — the Snapdragon’s graphics capabilities aren’t amazing, so don’t expect to get much gaming done on it — but if you value portability, battery life, and day-to-day performance, then the Dell XPS 13 Snapdragon X Elite is tough to beat (especially at this price!).Today’s best Dell XPS 13 Snapdragon X Elite deal
