The excellent Dell XPS 13 is less than $800 in epic laptop sale
Sitewide sale takes 10% off laptops and desktops
Dell is jumping on the back to school sales bandwagon with some of the best XPS deals we've seen this year.
Currently, Dell is taking an extra 10% off sitewide via coupon code "SAVE10". It's pretty easy to score 5% off or $50 off at Dell, but this sale doubles your savings (which is rare outside of major holidays). The best part is that the coupon code can be used on practically anything sold via the Dell Home website. That includes XPS laptops, monitors, desktops, and more. (Most items will feature a "Save an additional 10% with coupon" logo). So we're rounding up some of the best XPS deals and laptop deals you can get from Dell's current sale.
