If you’re looking for a cheap machine to handle the basics, then this Dell 15 laptop is almost unbelievably affordable thanks to Dell’s discounts this week.

When I saw this Black Friday deal on this Dell Inspiron at Best Buy I almost did a double-take. A Snapdragon-equipped laptop for just $400? This one is an incredible bang for the buck option right now if you’re looking for a machine with both power and battery life on a budget. As a Snapdragon-based model, it may have a few unsupported applications, so double-check before you buy. With that said, this is an incredible option for most users on a budget today.View Deal

Processor: Intel Core i7
RAM: 16GB

Here’s another great deal on a Dell 15 laptop courtesy of the current sale. This time, it’s on a much higher-end configuration, with a decent Core i7 chipset and 16GB of RAM. That gives you plenty of power under the hood. This is a very, very sensible all-rounder if you’re looking for a machine that can handle relatively intensive tasks like big spreadsheets or a large amount of browser tabs. View Deal

Here’s a massive $350 discount on the stunning Dell XPS 13. The XPS 13 is one of the brand’s most premium models, and it melds a high-end MacBook-like design with powerful components. With this deal, you get the higher-end Snapdragon configuration, which means plenty of power and almost unbeatable battery life. Snapdragon-based systems do still have a few application compatibility issues, however, so it’s worth checking all your favorite apps are fully supported.View Deal

Graphics card: RTX 4050
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 512GB

On the hunt for a super cheap gaming laptop? No such option exists in the Dell Black Friday sale, unfortunately, but there is a big price cut on this entry-level Alienware Aurora 16. You’re definitely paying a hefty price for a machine with an RTX 4050 graphics card here, but you do get a nice display, design, and a decent chipset as a bonus. If you just want a nice machine for casual gaming, then this is still a great option.View Deal

Processor: RTX 5060
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 512GB

For a more powerful option, I’d recommend this Alienware Aurora 16 – a mid-range configuration with an RTX 5060 graphics card. The price here is good, and this machine is absolutely perfect for running all the latest games smoothly at 1080p. Overall, it’s not a super high-end machine, but you get a nice display, solid build quality, and more than enough power to keep you gaming for a few good years. View Deal

Processor: RTX 5070
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 1TB

Lastly, but certainly not least, here’s a huge discount on an RTX 5070-equipped Alienware Aurora 16x. This higher-end machine is perfect for hardcore gamers looking for smooth frame rates on this machine’s 1600p display. Alongside one of the best mobile graphics cards you can get, this machine also features a powerful Ultra 9 chipset for good measure. Annoyingly, it does only come with 16GB of RAM out the box, which feels a little stingy at this price point.View Deal
