Dell has some fantastic laptop deals at the moment, with options for those on a budget and anyone looking to spend a little more too. Dell laptop deals are generally the ideal first port of call for anyone seeking a new laptop, and that’s no different here. Right now you can save $50 on the Dell Inspiron 15 and a massive $400 off the Dell Inspiron 16 laptop. If you’re keen to learn more, read on and we’ll take you through what each model has to offer and who it’s a good fit for.
Dell Inspiron 15 — $280, was $330
DellWith Dell being one of the best laptop brands out there, even its budget offerings are worth considering. With the Dell Inspiron 15, you get all the basic essentials needed for working on the move, as long as it isn’t anything too demanding. This particular model has a 12th-generation Intel Core i3-1215U processor along with 8GB of memory and 256GB of SSD storage. None of that is particularly impressive. You may find yourself needing to use cloud storage to supplement your storage, and it could use a RAM upgrade. However, this is a super cheap laptop. It also has a surprisingly good screen for the price. It has a 15.6-inch full HD display with 1920 x 1080 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 250 nits of brightness, and narrow borders. That and its roomy keycaps and spacious touchpad ensure this laptop is good for basic needs.
Dell Inspiron 16 — $700, was $1,100
DellThe Dell Inspiron 16 is well suited for more ambitious users. While it isn’t as powerful as the very best laptops, it’s still a good option for content creators on a budget. This model has an Intel Core 7 150U processor, 16GB of memory, and 1TB of SSD storage. That means plenty more power than you would normally get for $700. It also has a fantastic screen: a 16-inch 2.5K display with 2560 x 1600 resolution, anti-glare properties, and 300 nits of brightness. It’s a great size for a desktop replacement style laptop while still allowing you to use it on the move. It also has a great looking backlit keyboard and Dolby Atmos sound for enhancing your viewing and listening experiences. There’s even a fingerprint reader for added security.
For just $550 you can snag this entry-level gaming laptop with an RTX 3050
While gaming laptops used to be quite big, bulky, and expensive, the past few years have seen a big jump in technology, and now most gaming laptops tend to be quite thin and easy to carry around. Not only that, but there are some nice budget-oriented options as well, such as this configuration of the Lenovo LOQ. What makes it impressive is that it's been discounted at Best Buy down to $550 and yet comes with an entry-level RTX 30-series GPU, which is rare at this price bracket. In fact, this laptop usually goes for $800, so you're getting a whopping $250 discount in the process.
Why you should buy the Lenovo LOQ 15.6-inch gaming laptop
The beating heart of any gaming laptop is its GPU, and in this case, you get yourself an RTX 3050, which admittedly is an entry-level graphics card, but for the $550 price tag, it's actually really impressive to see. In terms of gaming, you're going to easily be able to play casual and indie games, as well as older games from the last few years. You can also get away with playing some free-to-play games, and with the screen's FHD resolution and 144Hz refresh rate, you can actually optimize your settings for better framerate, which is a nice addition.

Our favorite pre-built gaming desktop is $700 off today
What once was $3,200 is now $2,500. The Alienware Aurora R16 is our top choice of the best gaming desktops and it's now $700 off. It has a 4080 Super, 2TB of SSD storage, and 32GB of RAM, not to mention a gorgeous look to it that invokes the mental imagery of an under-the-water alien cultist research lab. If this is enough to count you as interested, go ahead and tap the button below to find the computer on sale. Otherwise, keep reading and we'll dive into the details about why you should consider this desktop and what exactly put it so high on our list.
Why you should buy the Alienware Aurora R16
You should note that the configuration of the Alienware Aurora R16 on sale today is a sort of super version of the one covered in our Aurora R16 review, though most aspects are similar. One thing to note from the review, in particular, is that our reviewer found that "the Aurora R16 sacrifices very little by being a prebuilt." This means that you don't need to be a BIOS-understanding, static-electricity defying computer wizard to get a great final product. Its also worth pointing out just how good and reserved this PC looks, especially when compared to the overly bright and flashy competition. This PC looks fun, but it is also a step in the right direction maturity-wise. Finally, for the biggest difference between the review model and the one on sale, the graphics card, be sure to check out our RTX 4080 Super review, which covers that component specifically.

The Dell XPS 13, a MacBook Air alternative, is 20% off today
"Dell XPS, Dell XPS, Dell XPS," have been the long-muttered words of anyone covering laptops with Digital Trends. After all, what do you recommend for someone that doesn't have an iPhone and doesn't want one of the best gaming laptops? While our current listing of the best laptops is a bit more diverse, for the longest time you'd always find a couple of Dell XPS variants on it. And, for the reasons outlined above (plus a sleek keyboard and stylish design) the line remains incredibly popular. And if you want one of these popular laptops, now is the time to spring for the Dell XPS 13. We've found a pretty hot deal on a fantastic configuration that brings the price from $1,999 down to $1,599. That savings of around 20% or $400 is yours if you tap the button below, but keep reading for our experiences with the laptop.
Why you should buy the Dell XPS 13
The Dell XPS 13 is a solid machine with a futuristic look and sleek design. Our Dell XPS 13 review compares the laptop's keyboard (which definitely feels unique) to the MacBook Air's Magic Keyboard, with shallow but simultaneously "snappy and precise" keys. There is a reason why a Dell XPS 13, though not this exact version, got to be our pick for the best MacBook alternative to the MacBook Air. The configuration we received for testing was able to get in eight hours of video watching on loop, meaning this is a perfect small laptop to get you through your day.
