In our Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 review, we loved its lightweight, versatile design, bright sharp display and great webcam. Although we would have liked to see better overall Geekbench performance scores from it, we found its graphics performance impressive. And during real world use, the XPS Folio's keyboard and big, bright backlit keys made error-free typing easy. 

Our review unit had a 12th Gen Intel Core i5 CPU and 8GB of RAM. While it's a mid-tier configuration, that didn’t stop it from juggling multiple tasks. No matter what we threw at it, the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 managed to keep its cool. Even with 60 open Google Chrome tabs which had a mix of Google DocsSheets, Presentations and a few tabs for Twitch, YouTube, social media and news, the XPS 13 2-in-1 held its own. The laptop in this deal packs a more powerful 12th Gen Intel Core i7 CPU, so we expect it to be on par.

Although it lacks a headphone jack, Dell bundles this laptop with a nifty adapter for pairing wired headphones, a microphone or a speaker. For security, the power button doubles as a Windows Hello-compatible fingerprint reader.
