My current laptop (Dell XPS 13 9333) is on its last legs and my second charger seems to have died, so I've decided to buy a new laptop.

The new XPS 13 (9310) appears to have good reviews so I'm inclined to just buy the same laptop again as I was very happy with the original model.

It seems in the UK that the only place to get it at the moment is from Dell directly. Presumably it'll be rolled out to other retailers in good time.

I'm wondering whether I should buy now or wait a few weeks until Black Friday where there may be some deals. With it being a brand new laptop only available from one place I will inevitably be paying top dollar if I buy it now but I need to balance that with not having a laptop at all.

Are there any other laptops I should be considering with the same size and similar "ultrabook" form factor?
 
Held out and got £250 off the model I wanted with a black Friday code plus £100 credit via an Amex offer currently running on Dell purchases. 6% Quidco as well although that probably won't come in given the use of a code. Good result!

The downside is that I have a 2-3 week wait for i7 1185G7 model now. The i7 1165G7 model was in stock but for some reason is the same price:confused:
 
Finally arrived today. It's got a great screen and is very snappy. As was the case with the previous model, the trackpad and keyboard are excellent and leagues ahead of most other laptops.

Still getting used to the size of the thing though. It's tiny compared to the previous model I had due to the smaller bezels. Thinking I perhaps should have gone for the XPS15!
