The best Black Friday laptops deals include a whole lot options for many price ranges and performance levels, but there's no doubt a group of people holding out for the best deal on one of the best laptops around. I'm talking about the Dell XPS 13 (9310). It's our number one pick when it comes to the best Ultrabooks, and for good reason.

I'm currently writing this from a slightly older XPS 13 9300, which has been my go-to laptop for all work for more than a year. It's the best laptop I've owned, and it's not even the most recent model. The newer XPS 13 (9310) — which is the one I'm highlighting here — is the latest version from Dell, bringing all the best features and design choices to the table.

This might not be the cheapest XPS 13 available on Black Friday, but it's the best deal we've so far seen in terms of overall discount, features, and performance. Regularly priced at $1,570, it's down to $1,157 at Dell. That's a $413 discount, complete with free shipping and financing options.

This XPS 13 (the most recent 9310 model) is stacked, offering up an 11th Gen Intel Core i7-1195G7 CPU, 16GB of LPDDR4x RAM, and a 512GB M.2 PCIe SSD. The display has an FHD+ resolution, 16:10 aspect ratio, 500 nits brightness, and Dolby Vision. Our pick for the best Ultrabook in 2021 won't likely see a better deal.

We've seen cheaper XPS 13 models show up in the best Black Friday Dell deals, but they've mostly been the 9305 edition with inferior display and older design. If you want the absolute best XPS 13 available today, you want the 9310 model which is on sale here.

It has a flawless aluminum design that's thin but sturdy, the keyboard is comfortable for those who type all day, and the large Precision touchpad makes pointing easy. Most importantly, it has a taller display with 16:10 aspect ratio and essentially no bezel at all. That includes below the display, resulting in a laptop that's all screen, keys, and touchpad when open. This model has a 1920x1200 (FHD+) resolution, 500 nits brightness, and Dolby Vision for better viewing. An anti-glare finish helps work in well-lit areas.

You get two Thunderbolt 4 ports for the latest connectivity, as well as a 3.5mm audio jack, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.1. If you'd like to add some removable storage, there's a microSD card reader on the side.

The XPS 13 (9310) comes with Intel Evo certification, meaning it can provide top-shelf performance and responsiveness even on battery life. This particular model is fairly stacked, with an 11th Gen Intel Core i7-1195G7 with four cores, 16GB of LPDDR4x RAM, and a 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD. It will cut through work with ease, including photo editing, heavy web browsing, streaming, and even some video work. Still, battery life can be expected to last beween 8 and 10 hours on a charge.

If you'd been holding out for the perfect XPS 13 deal, this one will be very hard to beat. You might find cheaper models, but it's highly unlikely that the latest 9310 model with this level of performance will see a cheaper price.
