Dell's Black Friday Laptop Sale Saves $550 on My Favorite Laptop

You probably know that there are some great deals on laptops today. We at PC Gamer's Black Friday Gaming Laptop Deals page are not telling you any such thing: the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1.

This laptop is exactly the same laptop I use on a daily basis, and I think it's really great. It was my first laptop with an Intel Ice Lake 10th generation processor, specifically the Intel Core i7 1065G7, with 64EU Intel Iris Plus graphics.

This was one of the first laptops to market itself as having upgraded graphics over Intel's usual integrated offerings, which could also prove to be a significant performance boost. While not up to par with many of today's best gaming laptop PCs, we had no problems playing the "Crusader Kings III" game and could see text even at 720p.

It is now almost exclusively my "World of Horror" gaming machine, and I have no regrets.

The built-in 4-core CPU isn't clocked particularly high at 3.9 GHz boost, but it's more than adequate for testing the Amazon Prime Day Deals spreadsheet. It also has adequate cooling for a thin device, and while it can get a little hot and the fan spins hard, it remains relatively quiet and comfortable on the lap.

Dell has included 16GB of 3,733 MHz memory in this model, which runs comfortably even with productive and creative applications like Photoshop.

Since this model is one of the first Intel Project Athena laptops (a laptop designed for mobile performance, the Intel Evo laptop), it has good battery life in use and rarely requires the small charger that comes with it to be carried in the bag

This is a great laptop.

This is a great little laptop and one that I can confidently say will be a great companion for anyone who is constantly on the go for work. Remember when there were physical trade shows? But if you're in the market, Dell is offering this thin and light device in its web store for $550 off the "estimated price."
