Don't wait until Black Friday: Best Buy already has up to $750 off our favourite MacBook Pro alternative

Black Friday is more than a month away, but there are already some great laptops deals about, including on our pick as the best MacBook Pro alternative. Best Buy has a massive $750 off a powerful Intel Core Ultra 9, 32GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 configuration of the Dell XPS 16, while Dell itself has $300 off the entry-level configuration.

Dell's most lavish laptop yet was only released in February. With a sleek design and options for plenty of memory and storage, the big and beautiful XPS 16 provides some serious Windows-based competition for Apple MacBook Pros in terms of power. And it has the additional benefit of the option for a 4K OLED touch display (yes, a touch display, Apple).

The entry-level configuration comes with an Intel Core Ultra 7 chip, Intel Arc graphics, 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD. If you need more power, you can step things up to an Ultra 9 chip, dedicated Nvidia graphics and up to a massive 64GB in RAM.

Overview: The Dell XPS 16 is our pick as the best MacBook Pro alternative thanks to its sleek design, responsive keyboard, excellent trackpad and options to take RAM and storage as high as you could want. There's a choice of dedicated graphics cards from Nvidia. As for the display, you can choose FHD or a gorgeous 4K OLED touch display.

Key features: Intel Core Ultra 7 or 9 | Up to Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 graphics | Up to 64GB RAM | Up to 4TB SSD | Option for 4K OLED touch display

Price history: The starting price for the Dell XPS 16 is unsurprisingly very high, comparable to that of Apple's MacBook Pros. We haven't seen many deals through third-party retailers until now, and the current savings are the best prices we've seen to date.

Price comparison: Amazon: $3,070 (32GB RAM, 1TB SSD)

Reviews: We haven't got around to reviewing this laptop yet ourselves, but our sister sites Techradar and Tom's Guide have both given it strong reviews, praising the slim premium design and 4K display.
