We’re always on the lookout for laptop deals, and we unearthed a promotion that’s only good for a limited time. Dell has chopped the price of one of its most popular portable workstations, the Dell XPS 15 Laptop. Usually, this Windows PC goes for $1,500, but you’ll be able to take it home for just $1,100. That’s an awesome $400 discount!

Why you should buy the Dell XPS 15

The XPS 15 is one of the most popular laptops on the market, right up there with the Apple MacBook Pro (we found some great MacBook deals this week too). This particular version of the computer is sold with an Intel Core i7-13620H with integrated Intel Arc Graphics A370M. These core peripherals are powered by 16GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage. On paper alone, this is an incredible laptop, but it’s the performance that’s going to win you over.

We like to think of the Dell XPS 15 as a go-to computer for working professionals who often run several programs at the same time; or individuals who need to have multiple browser tabs open simultaneously. But with its 15.6-inch FHD screen that tops out at 60Hz, some light PC gaming isn’t out of the question with the XPS 15 either. It’s also a phenomenal laptop for those heading to college in the fall, comparable to some of the best student laptop deals.

In terms of battery life, you can expect up to 18 hours on a full charge, though exact numbers will vary based on criteria like screen brightness and CPU usage. As far as ports go, there aren’t too many connections, but what’s here is extremely useful: one USB-C with DisplayPort and two Thunderbolt 4 hookups.

We find incredible Dell sales almost every week; and while this isn’t the first time the XPS 15 has been marked down, it’s hard to say when the price is going to go back up again. So if you’ve been searching for a great laptop, take advantage of this exciting offer and save $400 when you purchase through Dell.

Whether you’ve been shopping around for a perfect tablet, or you just really need to replace one, we found an excellent promo while searching for tablet deals: When you purchase the Lenovo Tab P11 (Gen 2) through Lenovo, you’ll save $115 for a limited time. This tablet is normally priced at $370 and we’re not sure how long the sale is going to last.

Why you should buy the Lenovo Tab P11
Tablets serve as the perfect middle ground between smartphones and laptops, offering a lot of the same capabilities as both device types. In the case of the Tab P11, the tablet is powered by a MediaTek Helio G99 CPU with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. That’s a good amount of bytes to start, but you can always add an external SSD (check out some of the great SSD deals we found this week) or back some of your files up to a cloud platform.

There are a lot of excellent laptop brands in the industry, and Lenovo is probably at the top, especially considering that it has an absolutely massive selection of laptops that you can potentially pick from. Probably one of its most well-known sub-brands is the ThinkPad series, which tends to be targeted to work and school in Lenovo's marketing but is actually great for general day-to-day use as well. That's why we've gone out and selected some of our favorite laptop deals from Lenovo's ThinkPad lineup, with some of these constituting the best laptops on the market. Of course, if school and work laptops aren't quite what you're looking for, you can always check out some of these other Lenovo laptop deals instead.
Lenovo ThinkPad L14 (Gen 3) — $755, was $1,259

Affordability isn’t always front and center with the ThinkPad L14, but this deal sees its price dropped into the range of many of the best budget laptops. This makes it a bit of a steal, as you’ll be getting an AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 7330U, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of super speedy solid state hard drive capacity. The ThinkPad L14 comes with Windows 11 pre-installed, and it has a fingerprint reader for security. You’ll also get all-day battery life with the L14, and it even has built-in 4G LTE connectivity so you can always stay up and running like a smartphone.

This Alienware gaming laptop just got a $650 price cut at Dell

If you're the type of person who travels a lot and doesn't want to deal with having a large gaming laptop take up space and weight in your bag, then you'll be happy to know that there are some great alternatives. For example, this tiny 14-inch Alienware x14 R2 is a solid gaming laptop that's great for carrying around, and it's got a solid GPU under the hood, so you aren't falling totally behind in gaming. Even better, Dell has discounted its usual $2,150 price tag down to just $1,500, which is a massive $650 in savings.

Why you should buy the Alienware x14 R2
The beating heart of any gaming laptop is the GPU, and you'll be happy to know that the Alienware x14 R2 comes with an RTX 4060, which is a very solid 1080p GPU. Of course, that does pose a bit of a problem given that the 14-inch screen runs a 2560 x 1600 resolution with a 165Hz refresh rate, and while you can hit the maximum of either, you can't do both. Even so, if you're the type of person who likes to play both competitive and fast-paced games, as well as more narratively driven stuff, it gives you a lot of leeway in figuring out what graphical settings work best for you, which is always a nice thing to have.
