Labor Day weekend is almost here and if you're looking for laptop deals, Dell has plenty of them. Whether you're shopping for a new back to school laptop or a powerful rig for your gaming sessions, I'm rounding up the biggest bargains on the machines we recommend.
If you're on a budget and need a basic machine for work, school, or streaming, you can't go wrong with the new XPS 13 for $699. (Note: Students can get it for $599, which is cheaper than the competing $699 MacBook Neo). The base XPS 13 packs a 13.4-inch 2.5K (2560 x 1600) 120Hz touch display, Core 5-320 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Personally, I recommend upgrading the RAM to 16GB for $899 total ($799 for students).
I'm also a big fan of the Alienware 16 Aurora w/ RTX 5050 for $1,099. That entry-level RTX 5050 should offer enough power for casual PC gamers. It's accompanied by a 16-inch WQXGA 120Hz display, Core 7-240H CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD.
