ET deals: $600 off Dell XPS One 27 2560×1440 all-in-one with $100 gift card

Most all-in-one PCs could never compete with a full-fledged desktop for us power users. Due to space and cost constraints, they — by necessity — used mid-range parts and maxed out at a 1080p display. Dell’s XPS One 27, launched late last year, changed all of that and now it’s back with the new Haswell chips and a fat discount.
The XPS One 27 is packed with the best gear in just about every hardware category. As its name implies, it sports a 27-inch display that serves up 2560×1440 resolution. This change we can probably just thank Apple for, as its 27-inch iMac pushed AIO PCs to a new level.

There are no low-voltage processors here either; a quad-core Core i7-4770S powers this model with the latest Haswell chip. A massive 16GB of RAM keeps multi-tasking smooth, while a 2TB hard drive with 32GB mSATA SSD cache ensure a responsive system with plenty of storage. Gamers will be left a little wanting with the Nvidia GeForce GT 750M 2GB graphics, but the mid-range GPU will ensure solid performance on the high-res display.

Of course, the XPS wouldn’t be a modern all-in-one PC without multi-touch capability and a unique dual-hinge articulating stand allows you to adjust the monitor for perfect touch orientation.

All the other usual goodies you expect from a modern PC are stuffed into the less than 3-inch thick chassis, including a plethora of USB 3.0 ports, ethernet, webcam, media card reader, and the like. You even have an HDMI input so this gorgeous screen can be used for another device and a Thunderbolt port for next-gen ultra-fast peripherals. You’ll especially love how movies played on the built-in Blu-ray drive will look on the WQHD IPS LCD.

We’ve only seen a handful of discounts on the XPS One 27 in any iteration and this is the first offer we’ve seen on the refreshed Haswell model. With a list price of $2599.99, there’s no doubt this top-tier model is the cream of the premium PC crop. But after a $600 coupon and bonus $100 e-gift card, you’ll find yourself getting a lot of tech for your buck. The final price ends up at $1999.99 and that $100 e-gift card is good for anything sold by Dell.com.
