Those on the hunt for premium laptop deals will be well served by this week's excellent price cuts on both the Dell XPS 13 and Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 - two class-leading Windows ultrabooks that can be picked up for up to $450 less right now.

At Dell, this XPS 13 Touch with an Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD is going for just $899 right now, down from an original price of $1,349. While we wouldn't recommend picking it up at that full price - especially since this isn't the latest model - a $450 discount makes this one almost irresistible. It's not every day you see an ultrabook packing this amount of power at this price point, and it's a stellar buy for both work or casual use at home.

Over at Best Buy, however, there's a worthy alternative in the form of the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 - which is also going for just $899.99 right now on its Core i5 spec, down from a price of $1,299.99. While the 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD can't quite match the XPS 13 above, this is still an excellent laptop deal in its own right - especially if you prefer the simpler, all-aluminum aesthetic of this Laptop 3 over the more flashy carbon-fiber built on the XPS 13.

Both these laptop deals are great buys if you're looking for something that's a bit more special than the normal fare, although we've also rounded up a few cheaper options below. If you're outside the US, you'll be able to find the best laptop deals in your region there also.
