This deal is pretty awesome! Reg price is $1299.99 on MSStore or $1399.99 on Dell's website for this Dell XPS 13.3 inch laptop. It’s an ultra portable laptop so it’s not designed to store your 1TB “videos” - but the SSD will be excellent for speed during school or work use.
Screen size 13.3 in Full HD InfinityEdge anti-glare touchscreen with Corning Gorilla Glass NBT (1920 x 1080), 10-finger multi-touch support
Intel Core i5-7200U 3MB cache, up to 3.10 GHz
Memory 8GB 1866 MHz LPDDR3
Hard drive size 128GB SSD
Operating system Windows 10 Home, 64-bit
Dell claims up to 18hrs battery life!
I would buy myself one but.... my Lenovo E570 is still going strong from last year's epic deal :P Hope this helps someone out!

600off is not a realistic deal number. You know very well no one is going to pay 1299 for these specs. Maybe 1099 or 999 at best to start with.
Yup, retail price is inflated but last month they went pretty fast at $799 so definitely a hot deal. My 5th gen still looks and works like new, still perhaps the best design for a 13".

If you don't need an 8th gen quad core CPU or > 8 GB RAM, this is a pretty good deal. You can always upgrade the SSD to something bigger if you need.
Actually - I’m just citing the websites regular price not my own ficticious price. It’s $700 off when ordered from Dell’s website. I posted the link so hopefully that’s “realistic” enough for you.
the one thing that seems to be holding me back is the video output is thru USB-C.
A quick search on amazon shows these USB-C to HDMI or DVI cables are running $15-20 each! is that right?
So, If you have a work setup and a home setup, you'll need to add another $30-40 on just new video cables!

Non-upgradeable memory (like a lot of other laptops on the market these days)
No swappable battery (like a lot of other laptops on the market these days)
Poor key travel and tactility (like a lot of other laptops on the market these days)
Certain aspects of great hardware design have been thrown out the window. I miss laptops from the pre-Apple-unibody days.
