You need to choose a laptop to aid you through all the hard work you're going put in at uni. Daunting right? Finding a laptop that will push through the long hours of studies and Netflix binges is no longer a hard choice. The Dell XPS offers a great balance of everything you'll need to get through university.

I have narrowed it down to 3 reasons why a Dell XPS should be your next laptop. Plus you can save 10% on selected Dell hardware using your UNiDAYS membership.

1. Outstanding battery life

When lugging a laptop around, you don't want to be carrying around a laptop charger with you all the time. You also don't want to be frantically looking for a wall outlet to charge your laptop. The Dell XPS laptops don't skimp on battery life. Whether you go for one of the 13-inch models or the 15-inch model you'll get a first class leading battery. Whether you're in the library doing an all nighter or making your way through the latest season of Game of Thrones, these laptops have you covered.

2. That screen...

You have to see it to believe it. You'll never want to go back to using any other screen after using the XPS laptops. They have 'InfinityEdge' displays, which is a fancy term to say that the screen is essentially borderless. So what does this mean for you? You're going to get one of the most immersive laptop viewing experiences. With a borderless display, your attention is solely on the screen.

With the XPS 13 you can either get a non-touch Full HD display or a touch 3200 * 1800 pixel display. With the XPS 15, you get a non-touch Full HD display or a 4K display. For the battery conscious, you'll want to go for the full HD display. For those wanting the best-looking display available or extra resolution, you'll want the latter of the resolutions.

3. A price for everyone

Managing your finance at uni is tough and unless you've got deep pockets you don't want to be splurging out too much on a laptop. Whilst, not the cheapest laptops around, you honestly get what you pay for.

You can tailor these laptops for your exact needs. Not everyone is going to need the 4K display or 16GB of RAM, so you can opt to get a cheaper configuration without those. Regardless of which model you choose, you still get the outstanding design and bezel-less display.

All-in-all, the XPS line of laptops finds a compelling balance between performance, battery life and affordability. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better all round laptop than Dell's XPS range.
