Dell’s huge last-minute holiday sale includes up to $350 off laptops and gaming PCs

Processor: Intel Core i3
RAM: 8GB
Storage: 512GB

Just need to cover the basics? This Dell 15 laptop is the brand’s cheapest option today, but it’s by no means the worst. You get an Intel Core i3 chipset here for browsing, emails, or streaming, and a relatively spacious 512GB drive, also. Ideally, I’d recommend spending more if you use your machine for work or intensive applications, but for light use, this one is definitely an option.View Deal

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

This Dell Inspiron 14 was actually $399 over Black Friday, but Best Buy’s deal today is definitely still good if you’re looking for a machine with both power and battery life on a budget. The combination of a Snapdragon X chipset, 16GB of RAM, and a spacious 512GB SSD makes this machine a very strong choice indeed for $500. As a Snapdragon-based model, however, it may have a few unsupported applications, so double-check before you buy. View Deal

The Dell 16 Plus is one of the better mid-range Windows 11 laptops you can buy right now, as attested to in our glowing Dell 16 Plus review. For the price, you get a decent level of power here, a nice display, and a lightweight design that makes it a versatile all-rounder. Today’s deal at Dell also knocks an impressive $450 off this Ultra 7 configuration.View Deal

The Dell 14 Plus is another fantastic option if you’re looking for a solid and reliable Windows 11 workhorse. It’s a model that our Dell 14 Plus review praised due to its compelling mix of performance, a sensible design, and value. Versus the 16-inch model above, it’s a better choice if you need something portable – although note, this configuration was $100 cheaper over Black Friday, so this isn’t a record-low price.View Deal

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

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

Dell’s sale also includes some great prices on Alienware desktops today, case-in-point; this RTX 5060-equipped Aurora. Alongside a fantastic mid-range GPU, this Aurora also features a decent Ultra 7 chipset and 16GB of DDR5 RAM, meaning plenty of power for 1080p gaming. If you’re looking for smooth gaming on a relatively modest monitor, then this one is a fantastic choice right now. View Deal

This RTX 5080-equipped Alienware Aurora is arguably an even better deal than the machine above – it’s certainly one of the cheapest RTX 5080 gaming PCs on the market right now. While you only get 16GB of DDR5 RAM here, you do still get that excellent Ultra 7 chipset for a machine that can handle even the most demanding of games. View Deal

It’s pricey, but you get a superb lightweight design with this machine as well as more than enough power to skip through even relatively demanding workloads.

Here’s a massive $400 discount on the stunning Dell XPS 13 – a new record-low price for 2025. 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 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

Processor: RTX 5070
RAM: 16GB

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
