Possibly one of the cheapest XPS 13 deals ever (only looked back 7y on ozb)

5% CW and SB on XPS models currently saves a further $52.15 reducing total price to $1095.15.

16gb ram, 512gb ssd upgrade brings to $1446.50 (minus any cashback).

Seems like it would be a great portable productivity laptop at 1.17kg. Happy shopping.

    Any option with 16Gb makes it $$$…

        I think Dell's build quality is one of the worst out there. The XPS series is decent build but I have still seen hardware failures on them.

        • OzBestDeal on 15/07/2023 - 07:20

          I can agree with this. Dell build quality used to be rock solid. But the recent latitude models that I get hands on are rubbish.

            @brosk1s: Try reading that again. XPS are the only decent ones in the Dell lineup.

            I have seen so many Dell laptops at work that had batteries die, screens come apart, hinges cracking that lead to screens coming apart. I personally owned a Studio series laptop that had to be repaired 3 times in 4 years. Heck, I have even remember a friend had a XPS laptop from about 10 years ago that had had some component fuse to the motherboard when the laptop got too hot

      Not $1k, but not far off either:

        Thinkpad X1 with titanium or carbon fibre is the way to go.

        You don't want your laptop made out of the same stuff as your Nespresso pods. You have standards.

        • cobknob on 15/07/2023 - 12:20
          +1

          I highly recommend u don't fly, don't take trains or hop in a car, because those Nespresso pods are keeping you alive. Aluminum is heavily used in aircraft, trains and vehicles - it's very light, and stronger than steel in strength-to-weight! - Another reason why they use it in laptops besides feel, it adds minimal weight. The base model iPhones each Gen been using aerospace-grade aluminum too.

          • georgiechan on 15/07/2023 - 14:50

            @cobknob: Not saying aluminium is bad, but carbon fibre is much lighter and more rigid than aluminium and steel. That's the reason why it's often used in aircraft.

            Personally I agree with @manitchoral and find the material on Thinkpad X1 is better than XPS. But the design of XPS 13 is without a doubt a good one.

      • georgiechan on 15/07/2023 - 14:58

        Depends on use case. Most seasoned cyclists would pick the carbon fibre bikes over the aluminium ones if the cost is not a concern.

        Admittedly I do have my doubts as I saw how carbon fibre could crack. Maybe one day there's better material comes along, people would laugh at the cyclists paying a high price riding their plastic bikes.

      Pretty sure it's designed to compete with the Macbook Airs, which weigh about the same.

    Don't buy Dell. I bought a used laptop from a bank. I logged into Dell, transferred ownership, and it showed I still had several months paid service call out or whatever it's called. When that expired they emailed me offering another extended service… but I already knew they no longer sold the battery for it! So they're happy to take your money for an extended warranty, but don't even have batteries after a couple of years! The only batteries available are on ebay, Amazon, etc and when you check past sales there's negative feedback for both that specific and other batteries, saying they use crap Chinese cells that last a third of the time. So Dell can get stuffed… I won't be buying another. And when this one finally dies I won't buying from any other manufacturer who doesn't supply parts for at least several years either. It would be different if laptops had made some amazing speed increase or something but they haven't. There's barely a difference between brand new today and a several year old "ancient" one with an SSD. Oh and this proprietary chip in the battery that fries itself if you swap the cells for quality Panasonics yourself… argh… just F—- DELL!

    • dav3 on 16/07/2023 - 02:10

      Cool story, but good luck finding a hardware manufacturer offering more than a year on batteries, even Apple have a 12 month battery warranty.

      • [Deactivated] on 16/07/2023 - 02:19
        -1

        Not warranty on batteries after a year… NO batteries FOR SALE after a couple of years.

        i.e. What's the point of paying for extended warranty protection or whatever Dell call it, when they no longer supply the most common failure point - batteries? They'll come out, see the battery doesn't hold charge, but I can't buy one from them. But they'll probably blame that, fix nothing I've paid them $$$ for. Like I said they should either be required by law to supply batteries for at least several years, or use generic ones that can have the cells replaced without frying some scummy proprietary chip inside the battery.

        • dav3 on 16/07/2023 - 21:31

          I call bullshit, because I've dealt with hundreds of Dell laptops over the years and have never had an issue sourcing batteries direct from them 3+ years after they were purchased when they happen to die, and again………. extended warranty doesn't cover batteries.

            @dav3: Oh wow… a whole extra 1! And it still doesn't change the other things I said. i.e. Their stupid proprietary chip that kills the board if you want to keep using the laptop that will probably last 12-15 years, particularly given, as I also said, they've given us no amazing speed increase.

        • realJuliusCaesar on 17/07/2023 - 02:09

          You're trying to guess what Dell will do. They possibly have internal stock for customers on an extended warranty.

          Or they may even replace the laptop if they can't replace the battery.

          I wouldn't criticise them without knowing.

    • lltravel on 16/07/2023 - 17:08

    This deal seems to have long since expired as it's nowhere to be found on Dell's online store and the deal link goes nowhere.
