What size are you looking for?
15 inch is the standard full size laptops most people are used to
13 and 14 are smaller and portable, at the expense of screen space. 16 is slightly larger.
I'd go with one of these
https://deals.dell.com/en-us/member/productdetail/c7g1 $1,273.99
13 inch top of the line. touchscreen
https://deals.dell.com/en-us/member/productdetail/c5lv $1033.90
16 inch. Good proccesor, screen, etc. large battery. more powerful than the midrange dells. It weighs 4.43lbs
https://deals.dell.com/en-us/member/productdetail/c7px $730.10
15 inch. Midrange. touchscreen. a more normal 3.62 lbs

choose 16gb ram and windows 11 home
15 inch. Midrange. non touch. midrange processor. otherwise similar to the one before. not sure it has fingerprint reader, but i'd assume it does.
General notes:
the various "storefronts" may look the same, but you get different prices depending if you clicked a member link, a work link, or generic. To get the prices above, click the link from this post. make sure to decline monthly service so you save $4.89 and a major headache. Use code 50OFF699.
Buy accessories or XBOX giftcards to get to a threshold if you need.
hope that helps.
unfortunately the XPS line doesn't seem to be on a good sale right now
EDIT: the work link you posted was actually $21 cheaper than the member link I posted. Also, I didn't take into account if you need or prefer windows pro.
