If you need a laptop that's got the chops to replace your clunky desktop computer system, consider Dell's XPS 17. When we tried an Intel Core i7 model earlier this year, we liked its roomy keyboard, ample storage, connectivity options, and audio quality (read our review for details). Our test model retails for $1579, which isn't bad for a high-end desktop replacement laptop. For a limited time, though, you can get a similar XPS 17, with a slightly slower Core i5 processor, for only $829 from Dell: just enter coupon code 932N$0ZCCHWZB9 at checkout to watch the price fall.
