The hottest deal of the lot if you need an affordable everyday laptop is this Dell Inspiron 15 for $249.99 (was $329.99). It’s one of the cheapest prices I’ve seen for this entry-level configuration that comes with an Intel i3 processor, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD.
Those are all basic components but if you just need a device for light use, such as general browsing, straightforward work, watching videos and admin tasks then it’s up to the job.
If your needs are more demanding then you should check out the Dell XPS 13 for $1,199.99 (was $1,499.99). This is one of the best prices I’ve seen for a laptop that comes with the latest Snapdragon X Elite processor that boasts fantastic performance, excellent battery life and AI-enhanced features.
You also get a whopping 32GB of RAM and a large 1TB SSD, so premium users who need a Windows machine for creative tasks and coding will be more than satisfied here.
I’ve included a couple of other personal recommendations below based on my years of experience hunting for the best laptop deals here at TechRadar each month and during major sales events.
