Dell’s been in the computing business for a very long time – no wonder it makes some of the most popular Windows machines on the market. Just take a look at the Dell XPS 13. That ultrabook has been our pick of the best laptops you can buy in Australia for a long time now, and each iteration is more powerful than the last.
It’s not just the XPS machines that are good – you can pick up an Inspiron 2-in-1 and also get yourself a powerful beast that’s portable too. While the better configurations of most Dell devices will set you back a hefty sum, it’s possible to find them at slightly more affordable prices if you know where and when to look, like during the EOFY sales.
Luckily for us, end of financial year sales are here, and TechRadar’s Australian deals team is on hand to help you find the best Dell EOFY deals all through June. The current crop of EOFY offers end on June 16, and if you can’t find the specific model you’re after from our picks below, just check the full Dell EOFY sale (opens in new tab) on the manufacturer’s website.

When is Dell’s EOFY 2022 sale?
EOFY sales typically kick off June 1 and end on the last day of the financial year – June 30.
However, you don’t always need to wait for the tax-time deals to roll around. Dell has weekly sales on its site that offer an average discount of about 20-30% on a wide range of its machines, including Inspiron and XPS. That said, you’re likely to see bigger discounts during EOFY.
How to get the best Dell EOFY deals
Shopping for a Dell laptop could get slightly overwhelming if you aren’t entirely sure of what you’re after, given there are four different ranges to choose from – each with a multitude of jargon associated with it. While we’ll be around to help you find the best options, it’s a good idea to draw up a list of what you want from a laptop before the EOFY 2022 sale begins.
The Inspiron line has entry- to mid-grade laptops while Dell’s flagship-level power comes from the XPS range. Then there’s Alienware – a Dell company dedicated to making gaming laptops. Each comes with dedicated graphics chips and a beefy processor to provide the grunt needed to run most games. Then there are the Vostro and Latitude lines, both designed with work productivity in mind and are usually a lot more expensive than anything else Dell has to offer.
Take note of any Dell machine that may have caught your eye prior to the discounts becoming available – this could help narrow down your deal-hunting and ensure you’re more successful at grabbing the Dell device you really want, not to mention making it a lot quicker to do so as well.
It might also stop you from blowing cash on impulse buys which you may regret later.
