Processor: Snapdragon X Elite
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 512GB

<p>Today's deal on the XPS 13 is just $100 more than the record-low price we saw during Black Friday.. Complete with a brand-new Snapdragon X Elite chipset, this model is capable of not just exceptional day-to-day performance but also battery life that's simply a cut above what Windows laptops usually offer. Alongside superb specs, the latest XPS 13 also features a gorgeous lightweight design and a display perfect for work and casual everyday use.

Display - 13.4 inches
Processor - Intel Core Ultra 7
RAM - 32GB
Storage - 1TB

<p>This is a superb price for an incredibly powerful Dell XPS 13 laptop. It boasts one of the most high-end configurations I've seen, including an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, a whopping 32GB of RAM, and a large 1TB SSD. That's excessive for everyday use and built more in mind for premium users who need speed, performance, and responsiveness for coding, multitasking, and creative jobs. Other main selling points for the XPS 13 are the slick chassis, vibrant and bright display, and lightweight design for easy portability.

Graphics card: RTX 4090 Ti
Processor: Intel Core i9-14900KF
RAM: 32GB
Storage: 2TB

<p> This particular config features a great price for a machine with an RTX 4090 Ti. While this isn't a super high-end graphics card by any stretch of the imagination, it does have more headroom in terms of performance versus the standard RTX 4060 - enough to make it a great mid-range performance option. This machine also comes with a really decent 14th gen Intel Core i9 chipset and 32GB of RAM so you're all set for specs elsewhere, too.

Graphics card: RTX 4090
Processor: Intel Core i9-14900HX
RAM: 32GB
Storage: 2TB

<p>My choice for a high-end gaming laptop is this RTX 4090-equipped m18, which also features a 14th gen Intel Core i9 chipset and 32GB of RAM right out of the box. With such a respectable line-up of specs, this is one serious machine for gamers looking to future-proof their setup and play all the latest games at the highest possible graphical settings. Yes, this one is still absurdly pricey, but a massive $600 price cut makes this one a lot easier on the wallet this week.
