Where's the best place to buy the Dell XPS 13?

What makes Dell better than other retailers?

The reason it's better to buy the Dell XPS 13 from Dell itself rather than other retailers such as Amazon or Best Buy is because Dell offers all available configurations for the device. This allows you to pick the exact hardware specs you want instead of forcing you to pick from the handful of models available through other retailers.

Not only does this give you the freedom to configure your system to perfectly suit your needs, but it also allows you to get the best prices — something that's incredibly valuable when buying one of the best Windows laptops ever made. When buying non-configurable models that have the hardware you need from other retailers, you may be paying extra for some things you don't need, such as extra RAM or storage space. Dell also offers the same financing options that other sellers do, too, meaning that you don't have to make any compromises when purchasing from it.

Why you might want to buy from other retailers

While in most cases it's better to buy a Dell XPS 13 from Dell, there are some situations where buying from another retailer like Amazon or Best Buy would be better.

If the version of the device that has the specs you need happens to be on sale on another retailer but isn't on sale on Dell's storefront, you should buy from that retailer instead so you can take advantage of the sale price. Additionally, we also recommend buying from other retailers if Dell doesn't have enough stock, especially if you need your new laptop fast and can't afford to wait for fresh units to become available on Dell's website.
