If you’re looking for a way to store, manage, and run your business’s critical apps in a centrally-located place and don’t want to have to rely on external services, consider the Dell PowerEdge T350 Tower Server. Right now it is on sale for just $970 instead of its usual $1,510. That saves you $540, or about a third of the price. To get it, tap the button below. Otherwise, keep reading and we’ll look into what this version of the T350 has to offer and explore if you’ll want to consider making any customizations to your order before tapping ‘Buy.’

Why you should buy the Dell PowerEdge T350 Tower Server

The Dell PowerEdge T350 Tower Server is made for smaller businesses or companies (or even families) to store data and apps in a centralized space. Interviews with the designers show a lot of the thinking that went into this product — previous designs were bulkier than the needs of typical customers would allow. This machine, instead, is made with a more compact design than previous versions, which favors typical customers. You’ll also like the ability to customize the Dell PowerEdge T350 Tower Server to your liking.

Configurations for the Dell PowerEdge T350 Tower Server are plentiful, and you can add more drives to the system easily in the checkout menu, add Linux as secondary OS, and even choose a different power cord should you so desire. However, one option to look at closely is the option to add RAID (aka ‘Redundant Array of Independent Discs’) tech to the mix. In short, if used properly, this technology will allow you to spread your data over multiple drives. RAID 0 does so to increase speed, RAID 1 does so to fail-safe your data, and RAID 5 and RAID 10 do so to combine speed and fault tolerance. Simply put, this tech either splits your data up for quicker finding or so that if one drive fails the rest can reconstitute your data with nothing lost. This is off by default, and changing to RAID adds nothing to the cost, so this is the number one configuration option you may want to look at before purchase.

Currently, you can get the base Dell PowerEdge T350 Tower Server for just $970. Again, that’s $540 off of its usual $1,510 price point. To find it, just tap the button below.

Why you should buy the Alienware m18 R2 gaming laptop
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 is in our roundup of the best graphics cards as the fastest GPU money can buy. However, there are reports that Nvidia is discontinuing the RTX 4090 to make way for the RTX 50-series graphics cards, which could be why the Alienware m18 R2 with the RTX 4090 is getting a price cut. That's a welcome sight for gamers though, as this gaming laptop, which is also equipped with the 14th-generation Intel Core i9 processor and 32GB of RAM, is one of the most powerful options in the market right now. It's ready to play the best PC games at their highest settings, and it's prepared for the upcoming PC games for the next few years.

If you don’t mind buying used, you can get a Dell Chromebook for $70 at Walmart

If you need a laptop but your budget's pretty tight, you may want to consider going for refurbished laptop deals. Here's an offer that's extremely cheap -- the Dell Chromebook 3189 for only $70 from Walmart, following a $90 discount on its original price of $160. You shouldn't expect this used laptop to arrive in pristine condition, but if you're fine with that, then we highly recommend completing your purchase as soon as possible because there's no telling when stocks of this device will run out.

Why you should buy the Dell Chromebook 3189
The Dell Chromebook 3189 isn't going to end up in anybody's list of the best laptops, as it's only powered by the Intel Celeron N3060 processor, Intel HD Graphics, and 4GB of RAM. As a Chromebook, Chrome OS speeds it up a bit due to the low overhead of the web-based operating system. You still won't be multitasking between apps with this device, but if you'll only use it for basic activities such as browsing the internet and checking emails, then the Dell Chromebook 3189 will be more than enough. It's also pretty portable with its 11.6-inch screen with HD resolution, and while storage space is limited at 32GB, you can sign up for any of the best cloud storage services so that you can save your files online.
