Dell's XPS laptop series has a long-standing reputation for solid design and outstanding performance. If you've been considering an XPS laptop, this is a great time to buy, thanks to Best Buy and Dell's sales inspired by Amazon's October Prime Day.  

Take this popular configuration of the Dell XPS 13 Copilot+ PC, on sale for $999 at Best Buy. That's a savings of $500 on this AI-enabled laptop with a 13.4-inch OLED touchscreen, a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor, 32GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. This is an amazing deal to get this laptop with an OLED touchscreen. In our Dell XPS 13 review, we awarded this laptop 4 out of 5 stars and noted its excellent battery life and design.

If you value memory over display quality, the standard FHD 1080p XPS 13 model is also on sale for $999 at Dell. However, that version gets a free upgrade to 32GB of RAM (you have to select this manually when ordering). If you want an Intel version, the XPS 13 laptop with an Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU and 32GB of RAM is on sale for $1,359, a savings of $400.

Meanwhile, larger screen sizes are also on sale at Dell. Save $500 on the XPS 14, now on sale for $999 at Dell. This model has an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H CPU, Intel Arc graphics, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. At this price, the laptop has a 14.5-inch FHD+ (1920 x 1200) non-touchscreen display. Add $300 to get the 3.2K (3200 x 2000) OLED touchscreen display. Not to be left out, the XPS 15 is now $1,059, $300 less than its regular price. 

While these XPS sales are not at Amazon, their timing clearly matches that of Amazon's Prime Big Deals Day, running now through October 9
