Dell has deeply discounted this Alienware m15 laptop, slicing over a grand off the RRP. It comes equipped with a Ryzen 7 5000 series chip, alongside a powerful Nvidia RTX 3070 graphics card. It’s got a 15.6-inch FHD screen with a 165Hz refresh rate, making it a pretty great gaming laptop overall at a reasonable price.

Alienware x14 | i7 / 32GB RAM / 1TB SSD / RTX 3060 | AU$3,749 AU$2,999 (opens in new tab) (save AU$750)

Alienware has taken a pretty slim and light gaming laptop and packed it full of serious hardware, including a 12th-gen Intel i7 processor and an RTX 3060 graphics card. You’re also getting a huge 32GB of RAM here, which could be a bit overkill considering you’ve got the RTX 3060 GPU. The 14-inch screen also has a 144Hz refresh.

Dell XPS 13 (9305) | i7 / 16GB RAM / 512GB SSD | AU$2,099 AU$1,574 (opens in new tab) (save AU$525)

This version of the excellent Dell XPS 13 is sports an 11th-gen Intel processor (rather than the newer 12th-gen silicon), which is why it’s available with such a big discount. It will still be plenty powerful though, with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. You’re just getting integrated graphics here, but that’s fine if you’re not doing graphic-intensive work.

Dell XPS 13 Plus OLED (9320) | i7 / 16GB RAM / 512GB SSD | AU$3,099 AU$2,634 (opens in new tab) (save AU$465)

The Dell XPS 13 Plus is an interesting extension of the classic XPS line, featuring a super-light chassis, a touch bar and a borderless trackpad. This model has a gorgeous 3.5K OLED display too. That could all equate to good news or bad news depending on your tastes. We’ve previously seen this model at 20% off, but it’s 15% off at the moment and we'd still recommend it.

Dell Inspiron 16 (5620) | i5 / 16GB RAM / 512GB SSD | AU$1,799 AU$1,187 (opens in new tab) (save AU$612)

While this 16-inch Inspiron laptop isn’t as premium as the XPS above, it does have the latest internals, including a 12th-gen Intel i5 CPU. The display has a 16:10 aspect ratio, so you’ll get a taller screen to see more of your work at once. This laptop is now 34% off directly from Dell, with AU$612 saved.

Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 (7420) | i5 / 8GB RAM / 512GB SSD | AU$1,599 AU$1,199 (opens in new tab) (save AU$400)

We recently spent some time with this laptop and came away with a five star review. It brings outstanding performance to an affordable price point, and this current discount gets you 25% off its retail price. Under the hood is an Intel i5-1235U CPU, though you’re only getting 8GB of RAM here (which should be fine unless you like to have countless tabs open at once).
