We’re always on the lookout for laptop deals, and we just found one that we think most folks are going to dig! For a limited time, Dell has marked down the Dell XPS 13 Laptop to $700. Officially on clearance, you can now save $300 on this awesome Windows PC while supplies last.

Why you should buy the Dell XPS 13 laptop

We see numerous Dell laptop deals in our daily promo combing, but this one stopped us in our tracks. The XPS 13 is meant to go toe to toe with one of the fiercest laptop foes in the biz — the MacBook Pro. And guess what? This PC does a solid job of giving Apple’s tried and true fan-favorite a run for its money.

Powered by an Intel Core i7-1250U CPU options include an Intel Core i5 or i7 CPU and 8GB of RAM, Windows 11 runs at blistering-fast speeds. You’ll have no issue running multiple programs at the same time, or having a bunch of tabs open while using Edge, Chrome, or Firefox. For all your file and media stockpiling, the XPS 13 gives you up to 512GB of integrated SSD storage. That’s plenty of bytes for most of us (those that need more should check out some of our SSD deals).

The XPS 13 has a nice screen too! The 13.4-inch InfinityEdge LCD delivers up to 1,920 x 1,200 resolution and tops out at 60Hz for refresh rate. Equipped with the Intel Iris Xe GPU, the XPS 13 brings impressive visuals to the table, and even includes an anti-glare coating on the display. This makes it much easier to use the laptop on sunny days, or in rooms with a ton of ambient lighting.

Input wise, the XPS 13 includes two Thunderbolt 4 ports that can be used for DisplayPort and USB-C connections. The laptop also comes with a USB-C to USB-A adapter, and a USB-C to 3.5mm audio adapter for plugging in wired headphones.

Now that the Dell XPS 13 is on clearance, it’s only a matter of time before you won’t be able to buy this awesome PC. Act now, and save $300 on this portable Dell workhorse. And while you’re at it, take a gander at some of the gaming laptop deals we’ve been finding.

I love the MacBook Pro, but this Windows laptop came surprisingly close

There are some great machines in the 15-inch laptop category, which has recently been stretched to include the more common 16-inch laptop. The best among them is the Apple MacBook Pro 16, which offers fast performance for tasks like video editing and the longest battery life.

The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 is aimed not only at other 16-inch Windows laptops but also at the MacBook Pro 16. It offers many of the same benefits but at a lower price. Can it take a place at the top?

How to set an ‘Out of Office’ message in Microsoft Teams

Person using Windows 11 laptop on their lap by the window.

Many people use Microsoft Teams regularly to communicate with colleagues both inside of the office and remotely. It is considered one of the most efficient ways to ensure you can stay in contact with the people on your team, but what if you need to let people know you’re not readily available? Microsoft Teams has a method for you to set up an "Out of Office" status for your profile to let staff members know when you’ll be gone for the afternoon, for several days on vacation, or for an extended period.
Where do I go to set up my ‘Out of Office’ status for Teams?
It is important to note that your Microsoft Teams and Outlook calendars are synced. This includes your out-of-office status and automatic replies. So, whatever you set up in Microsoft Teams will reflect in Outlook. Similarly, you can set up your out-of-office status in Outlook, and it will be reflected in Teams; however, the former has a more straightforward instruction.

First, you can click on your profile icon in Teams and go directly to Schedule an out of office, as a shortcut. This will take you to the settings area where you can proceed. You can also click the three-dot icon next to your profile icon, then go to Settings > General, then scroll down to the bottom of the page. There, you'll find out-of-office settings and click Schedule.
