Huge laptop deals are launching at Dell for Memorial Day: here are 8 models I'd buy
Time to pick up an XPS 13? Why not?
As deals editor, whenever a big retail event like the Memorial Day sales comes round, one of my first ports of call is always Dell. The official site nearly always has superb laptop deals - and, thankfully, this weekend is no exception.
I've picked out the 8 best Memorial Day laptop deals at Dell just down below, making sure to cover a wide range of budgets and uses. The Dell Memorial Day sale is comprehensive, so there's plenty to check out today regardless of what you're looking for.
A particular highlight today is the stunning Dell XPS 13 for just $699 (was $999). I've been tracking the best Dell XPS 13 deals for a few years now and this is quite possibly the best I've ever seen. While it's not the cheapest XPS 13 available, it's the best price ever for the higher-end Core i7 configuration, which is the one you'll want to spring for if you're needing something with a little more power.
Another great option, in my opinion, is this Dell G15 for $899 (was $1,149) - an outstanding gaming laptop deal. This machine features a combination of an RTX 4060 graphics card, 1TB SSD, and 13th gen Intel Core i7 chipset, making it a very capable machine for 1080p gaming. For the price, there's not much to challenge it right now - although I've also included a superb RTX 4070 machine below, too.

If you're really on a budget this weekend, my top pick in the Dell Memorial Day sale is definitely this entry-level Dell Inspiron 15. As the price suggests, this one isn't super high-end but it does feature a surprisingly capable combination of a Core i5 processor and 512GB SSD, which are both excellent for the price. If you're looking for something with a relatively spacious drive that can handle the basics then this one is a decent Windows 11 machine.

This Inspiron 15 is my top pick of all the laptop deals in the latest Dell sale. With an Intel i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a huge 1TB SSD, it's the best buy if you have a reasonable budget and need a device that will comfortably handle your day-to-day computing jobs and light work. Expect solid performance, good multitasking capabilities, and speedy load times, but be aware of the bulky 15.6-inch size and battery life of around 6-8 hours that hamper its portability. Altogether, though, this is a seriously impressive laptop for the price.
