The fact that Dell occupies two coveted positions in our guide to the best laptops goes to show how highly we rate the brand. They consistently perform well in our testing and are often competing to be crowned champion in even more categories.

One of our favorites at the moment is the Dell XPS 13, which we call "a budget laptop with few compromises, thanks to its sturdy, lightweight aluminum design, sharp, vivid touchscreen display, strong performance, and long-lasting battery life." No wonder we called it the best budget Windows laptop right now.

The fact that you can snap up the base model of the Dell XPS 13 for just $699.99 is testament to what Dell has achieved with this laptop. If your work requires a larger screen, then we'd highly recommend the Dell 16, with prices starting at only $799.99. It might be slightly more expensive, but on the plus side it delivers effortless productivity and captivating entertainment.

These are just two picks that we'd recommend, but the reality is that a quick browse of the full range of Dell laptops will show you how much the company has to offer. You're sure to find something to suit your exact requirements.
