It’s only one man’s opinion, but I rate Dell‘s laptop deals this week way more than Amazon‘s. I know Prime Day has been going on – but I always tend to look elsewhere when it comes to cheap Windows laptops as TechRadar’s deals editor.

For a budget laptop, you’ll won’t find a better choice right now than the Dell 15 laptop for $499 (was $639) at the official Dell Store. It’s not a high-end machine sure, but it’s impressive considering you get a Ryzen 7 chipset, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD for well under $500. I’ve scanned through hundreds of laptop deals from Amazon, Best Buy, and others this week and I’ve just come full circle to this as my ‘sensible’ budget buy.

Of course, there are a few other great laptop deals at Dell, which I’ve rounded up just below. They include higher-end and cheaper options, so check those out if the Dell 15 doesn’t fit the bill. They’re all part of the store’s ‘Black Friday in July’ sale so they’re generally at record-low prices or at a steep discount.
