Dell has some enticing offers in its laptop deals section at the moment, with two of the highlights coming from the famed XPS range. For those looking for something like a media powerhouse, then the Dell XPS 15 with Intel's Core i9-9980HK and Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1650 could be a good choice. The XPS 13 with an Intel Core i3-8145U processor is especially tempting at US$649.99.

Must... wait... until Ryzen 4000!
I really wouldn't call 1650 future-proof, it's barely competitive in today's 15" range. Also the i9 isn't appropriately cooled, like most i9 in laptops, unfortunately.
