Dealmaster: Take $200 off the latest Dell XPS 13 and get a $200 prepaid card
Ars Technica

Greetings, Arsians! The Dealmaster is back with another round of deals to share. Today’s list is headlined by a deal on Dell’s latest XPS 13 ultrabook: a variant with a Core i7-8565U processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD is down to $1,150 with the code “50OFF699” at checkout. That’s about $200 off its usual going rate, a decent discount, but the deal also includes a $200 Visa prepaid card. Assuming you use it, the card brings the effective price down to $950, making this a good value.

We liked the XPS 13 enough to deem it the best option for most people in our recent Windows ultrabook buying guide. The XPS 13 line has been a critical favorite for years, but this latest model, the XPS 13 9380, finally (finally) fixed the series’ longest-running flaw by putting the notebook’s webcam above the display. Besides removing those under-the-nose shots, the notebook still features a wonderfully thin (0.46 in) and light (2.7 lb) chassis, strong performance relative to other ultrabooks, a comfortable keyboard, trackpad, and wrist rest, solid battery life, and a vibrant display. Its 16:9 display and lack of any USB-A ports could be hangups for some, but all told, it remains a powerful yet easily portable device.

If you don’t need a new laptop, we also have games like Marvel’s Spider-Man and God of War down to $20, Roku’s Streaming Stick+ down to $50, deals on computer speakers and portable hard drives, and much more. Have a look for yourself below.
