Forget Amazon Prime Day – Dell’s Black Friday in July sale is better for laptop deals – here are the 7 I’d buy

Dell has launched a huge Black Friday in July sale and I think it’s easily one of the best destinations for laptop deals this week. Not only does it feature some of the best deals we’ve seen all year at the retailer, but I think it’s got Amazon’s early Prime Day deals beat when it comes to laptops.

As TechRadar’s deals editor, I’ve been scanning through the entire sale today to find the best value machines. As an overview, there are superb options today on everything from basic work-from-home machines to high-end gaming laptops.

If you’re on a budget, look no further than this excellent Dell 15 laptop for $449 (was $649). I think you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more competitive specs sheet than a Ryzen 7 chipset, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD for this price – it’s perfect if you want a no-fuss cost-effective machine for work or school.

If you’ve got more to spend, then I’d also recommend the Dell 14 Plus for $849 (was $1,249). This model is one of our favorite laptops of 2025 so far, and the configuration that’s on sale here features an Ultra7 chipset, 32GB of RAM, and a 2.5k display, meaning it’s extremely feature-packed for the money.

You can read more about these laptop deals and others just down below. While you’re here, don’t forget to check-in at our ongoing Amazon Prime Day live coverage for even more excellent deals to check out this week.
