S24245H monitor — $100 $120 17% off

For a budget-friendly monitor, you can’t go wrong with the S2425H monitor, which is even cheaper right now as it’s sale with a 17% discount for $20 in savings. The 24-inch screen offers Full HD resolution, and it comes with a pair of integrated speakers. It comes with two HDMI ports so you can have two sources connected at the same time, and you can easily switch between them.

Inspiron 15 — $500 $700 29% off

The Inspiron lineup from Dell is its budget-oriented lineup, but that certainly doesn’t mean that they are bad laptops. They are actually great for those who don’t really need anything fancy. Its 15.6-inch FHD screen is great for watching content online, and the 120Hz refresh rate will make you feel as if the whole laptop is a lot smoother. The 12th-generation Intel Core i7 is a mid-range processor that’s more than powerful enough to handle most productivity tasks without an issue, supported by 16GB of RAM. You also get a pretty sizeable 1TB to work with, so as long as you’re not pushing the Inspiron too hard, it will be an overall excellent experience. The Dell Inspiron 15 is 29% off, for savings of $200.

G3223Q 4K gaming monitor — $550 $630 13% off

For a premium PC or console gaming experience, check out the G3223Q 4K gaming monitor, which offers 4K Ultra HD resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate for sharp details and smooth animations — all at 13% off, for savings of $80. The monitor supports AMD’s FreeSync Premium Pro so you won’t suffer through stuttering and screen tearing, and the 32-inch display is just the right size for gaming.

G15 Gaming Laptop — $960 $1,260 24% off

Much like the Inspiron, the Dell G15 is a standard laptop when it comes to budget-friendly gaming laptops. While it does suffer a little bit from middling battery life, that’s really the case with most gaming laptops, and for less than $1,000, this configuration of the G15 comes with an RTX 4060. That’s an entry-to-mid-range GPU that should have you playing most modern games with a few graphical compromises, and luckily, the 15.6-inch screen that runs an FHD resolution won’t push the RTX 4060 too far. That said, it can hit a 360Hz refresh rate, so if you want to prioritize that, you certainly have the option. You also get a very solid Intel Core i7-13650HX, 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, all of which are excellent with this 24% discount that translates to $300 in savings.

XPS 15 — $1,199 $1,499 20% off

If you’re looking for a thin and light laptop that’s affordable and still packs a punch, this configuration of the Dell XPS 15 might be right up your alley. Under the hood, you’ll find an Intel Core i7-13620H CPU, which is a higher-end processor with quite a bit of power behind it, so it’s perfect for work and day-to-day tasks. The 15.6-inch FHD+ screen is also pretty great, and the 500 nits of peak brightness mean you can use it pretty much anywhere, even with indirect sunlight, although sadly it only runs at 60Hz. Still, the 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage are both respectable for what you’re getting, so it’s worth the compromise. At 20% off, you’ll pocket savings of $300.

Latitude 7440 — $1,200 $1,701 29% off

If you’re looking for a laptop that’s targeted towards business use, then this Latitude 7440 is a good option as the 29% discount will let you save $501. While the Intel Core i7-1365U vPro is a great CPU, where the Latitude 7440 shines is in the additional features, such as the inclusion of a fingerprint reader for added security and authentication. The 14.0-inch Quad HD+ display has an IPS panel for wider viewing angles, and it’s also touch-enabled, which is another nice feature that some folks might find handy in a work environment. It also comes with a substantial 57W battery that will last quite a long time, and the FHD camera is great if you need to have regular meetings. All that said, it does only come with 256GB of storage, which isn’t a ton, so you’ll either have to upgrade the internals down the line, or grab one of these external hard drive deals.

G16 Gaming Laptop — $1,300 $1,950 33% off

Of course, if you’re looking for a bit more gaming power under the hood, then maybe the Dell G16 gaming laptop is the way to go, at least with this configuration. It comes with an RTX 4070 under the hood, which is roughly equivalent to a desktop-grade RTX 4060, so it’s still relatively powerful and shouldn’t get too taxed with the 16-inch QHD+ screen. You also get a surprisingly powerful Intel Core i9-13900HX, which is one of the best CPUs on the market and is great if you want to take on more CPU-heavy tasks, such as streaming. The 32GB of RAM and 1TB storage are substantial, making the 33% discount for savings of $650 look like an excellent deal.

XPS 13 — $1,359 $1,759 23% off

While the MacBook Air is great, if you’re not in the Apple ecosystem and don’t want to be, then one of the best alternatives is the Dell XPS 13, which is 23% off for savings of $400. At just 0.60 inches thick, it’s pretty much the same size as the MacBook Air, and not only that, but this configuration comes packed with great features, such as the powerful Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor. Besides that, the screen is probably one of the best you’ll find on a laptop, sitting at 13.4 inches in size with a whopping 3.2K resolution, not to mention that it’s OLED to boot, so you’re really getting the best of all worlds here. You’ll also very much appreciate the massive 32GB of RAM you’ll find, which is often much lower on MacBooks in general, and any upgrades in RAM tend to come with a steep premium.

XPS 14 — $1,450 $2,000 28% off

For those who like the XPS 13 but still want something a little bit bigger, then the XPS 14 is the best middle ground. While there are a lot of configurations you can go for, this deal gives you a little bit of everything and makes it a very versatile laptop. For example, you not only get a great Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor, but also the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 graphics card. Besides that, the 14.5-inch screen runs on Full HD+ resolution, so anything you watch will look crisp and excellent. The 16GB of RAM is also very much appreciated, as is the 1TB of storage, so you get a little bit of everything. At 28% off, you’ll enjoy savings of $550.

XPS 16 — $2,560 $3,260 21% off

The newest entry into the XPS lineup is the XPS 16, and it replaces the XPS 17, which sadly isn’t being made anymore. Even so, the 16.3-inch monitor is still pretty big, and it even comes with OLED and a UHD+ resolution, much like the other configurations on the list. Even better, you get a powerful RTX 4070 GPU, which will handle quite a lot of modern games, although the resolution might mean that you’ll have to make some graphical compromises. As for the CPU, the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H is more than powerful enough for most needs, and the same applies to the 32GB of RAM and 1TB storage, so if you’re willing to pay the price, this configuration of the XPS 16 is one of the most versatile on the list. With a 21% discount, you’ll get savings of $700.

Precision 5860 Tower Workstation — $2,949 $3,489 15% off

While all the options so far have been for laptops, if you’re the sort of person who really needs a productivity powerhouse in the form of a workstation, then this Precision tower is the way to go. The Intel Xeon W3-2435 is an enterprise-grade processor and can easily handle the much more complex calculations a normal commercial CPU can’t handle. The same goes for the NVIDIA T1000 GPU, which is made to handle things like transcoding, video editing, and really any sort of 3D pipeline that you might deal with. That’s also helped by the 32GB of RAM, and is a great option for those who do a lot of CAD or programming work. The only big downside is the 512GB storage, which isn’t a lot given the purpose the Precision is meant to fill, although you can always upgrade that down the line at some point with one of these SSD deals, so it’s not a dealbreaker. Hurry if you want the 15% discount, which is equivalent to savings of $540.

How to choose a Dell deal on Prime Day

While there is a lot that goes into any decision to buy a computer, there are certain baselines that we have come to expect and that we wouldn’t really recommend going under. For example, when it comes to RAM, anything below 8GB for a Windows laptop these days is really not worth it, mostly because Windows itself likes to take a substantial chunk of that, leaving you with not much else. Also, when it comes to gaming, 16GB is generally the minimum amount of RAM we want to see for similar reasons. In truth, if you can snag 16GBs, it’s always best to go that route, even if it costs a little bit extra, which is why most if not all, the deals here are at 16GB. Also, while 32GB is great, it’s not worth it unless you program a lot or do a lot of CAD work.

Another example is the CPU. While you can certainly find laptops with something like an Intel i3 or Ryzen R3, those really are too entry-level at this point to give you a good experience unless you’re going for something really bare-bones. In fact, even Dell doesn’t offer many laptop configurations with i3s or R3s, so that’s not something you’ll necessarily have to worry about, but it’s still something you should be aware of. Similarly, it’s worth keeping in mind that AMD CPU configurations tend to be cheaper than Intel configurations, and if you’re going for gaming, the latest 13th and 14th generation of Intel CPUs have been having issues, so it’s probably better to go with an AMD configuration if you’re gaming. That said, AMD is not as common, so that can be a bit harder to find, if at all.

Finally, one thing that’s worth noting is storage, and while it shouldn’t be a big issue for most folks, if you’re planning to buy a gaming laptop then you really want to have as much storage as possible. The unfortunate reality is that a lot of modern games have quite large storage, so if you download a few AAA games, you’re already going to eat up a lot of a 512GB storage SSD. As such, you’ll want to aim for a gaming laptop that has at least a 1TB SSD or more if you can find it, although larger sizes tend to be much more expensive. Luckily, a lot of laptops these days can have their internals upgraded, so it’s not necessarily a dealbreaker if you want to find something with a smaller storage.

How we chose these Dell Prime Day deals

Whenever a deal goes on one of these pages, a lot of decision-making process goes on behind the scenes, and it doesn’t only come down to something that has a good deal on it, but whether the item itself is worth grabbing. For example, Dell has dozens and dozens of various configurations for each lineup, some with deals, some without, and often, we have to go through everything that’s on offer to make sure that anything we recommend does a good job of balancing cost vs. performance. After all, you could, in theory, buy a laptop with something like an RTX 4090, but that’s incredibly overkill and will cost you a ton of money, and really, laptops don’t have the sort of thermal dissipation that can handle a card that powerful, which means they are often performance throttled, in which case, you might as well spend less money on a laptop with an RTX 4080 Super or even an RTX 4070.

Beyond that, we also look at historical prices and our reviews and compare them to the configurations that may add or subtract from any single deal before posting it on this page. We also have decades of combined experience in tech and commerce, so we have a good knowledge base to rely on whenever we recommend a deal.
