Black Friday-beating Dell XPS 13 deal now live - just $685 with a coupon
Read MoreLooking for a real bargain on a Dell XPS 13? Simply use the code 50OFF699 at checkout to score a 2021 model for just $685.99 (was $1,049.99) at the Dell store today.
Yep, that's easily one of the lowest prices we've seen all year and an absolutely fantastic price to pay for a touchscreen model with an 11th gen Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD. While not super high-end, these are specs that are going to be more than adequate for the vast majority of users and definitely enough for most casual and work applications.
It's important to note that this is the baseline '(9305)' model, which essentially means it's featuring a slightly thicker bottom screen bezel than the latest Dell XPS 13 (9310) model. It does, however, still feature an absolutely fantastic 400 Nits display, quality build materials, and it's much, much cheaper (like, $300+ in this case).
Put all these points together and you've got yourself a very tempting Dell XPS 13 deal indeed. In fact, if we cast our mind back to last year's Black Friday laptop deals we only found one Dell XPS on sale for cheaper - a Core i3 model for $649. Today's offer is a much better option thanks to its beefier Core i5 processor. Will we see better options this Black Friday? It's hard to say, but either way this is one of the best Dell XPS 13 deals we've seen all year.

New Facebook Messenger app for Windows 11 is faster and better-looking than ever
Read MoreThere is a new beta version of the Facebook Messenger app for Windows 10 and Windows 11. This is a significant update to the popular desktop app that sees Facebook using the open-source React Native framework.
The rewrite of the app and the move away from the previously used Electron means that there is a significant performance boost. On top of this, there are also bug fixes and improvements, as well as important interface changes.
The update takes the Messenger app up to version 1320.11.119.0, and there is something of a new look. The app has switched from using its own custom controls, to using the native UWP (Universal Windows Platform) versions instead.
The change means that the app far more closely resembles the look and feel of other Windows apps.
The need for speed
But what is perhaps most noticeable about the app in use is the performance increase. Facebook has not only been able to reduce the size of Messenger by an incredible 100MB, but there is a speed boost that comes thanks to the code re-write.
Switching to React Native has helped to dramatically improve the app's use of system resources, and this in turn has helped to accelerate performance.
If you're already signed up to take part in the beta program, you will need to update to the latest version to experience the improvements. You can find out more about the Messenger beta over in the Microsoft Store.
Analysis: performance and prettiness
With this update, Facebook is giving people precisely what they want. No one is going to complain about an improvement in performance, a reduction in resource usage, and a smaller app, after all.
While there is something to be said for apps that have a unique look, users tend to feel more comfortable with familiarity. This means that custom controls and unusual app furniture serve as friction point.
In adopting native UWP controls, Messenger is now much more like other apps and is therefore easier to use. While a messaging app is perhaps not the most complex or confusing type of app available, it's important to remember that developers need to cater for the lowest common denominator. By eliminating custom controls, the potential for confusion has been reduced, and this is a win for all users.
