How to choose a Dell XPS on Prime Day

We’ll cut to the chase — do you want a laptop or a desktop PC? That’s your biggest decision. The Dell XPS range makes some great desktops as well as laptops, so it’s important to know if you need something portable from one of the best laptop brands or you want a permanent setup at home with a desktop. A desktop computer works out as better value, and the Dell XPS desktop is one of the best desktop computers around, but that’s not much use if you have limited space or if you need to take your system out with you. That’s where one of the best laptops would be better.

From there, think about your budget and whether you need something mid-range or if you can afford something high-end. Aim for the fastest processor you can afford along with the most RAM and storage. If you want to game, consider a dedicated graphics card. For the laptops, don’t forget to check out the screen size and quality.

How we chose these Dell XPS Prime Day deals

We spend our days and weeks seeking out great deals. We also know what counts as a good deal. After all, it’s not just a matter of going cheap. Sometimes a cheap deal can be pretty poor value. Instead, it’s all about combining a good price with an equally good product. We only feature the Dell XPS products that are actually worth buying. That means no ageing hardware, only the very best desktops and laptops.

We check out the specs of each of the laptops and desktops we feature here and make sure they’re items we’d actually want to own ourselves. That means checking that there’s no weak point with any of these setups while also being available at a good price. We update the listings regularly any time there’s a good price drop. That way you get the best value and a product that’s perfectly suited for your needs.

If you need a new laptop but your maximum budget is $500, don't worry because you can still get a decent machine with the help of the laptop deals that we've found. Here's one that's very interesting -- the Dell Inspiron 15 at $250 off, which brings its price down to just $450 from $700 originally. It's not going to stay this affordable for long though, as stocks are likely already running low. In our experience, nothing stick around at Dell for long. If you want to get this laptop for a lower price than usual, you're going to have to be quick in completing your transaction for it.

Why you should buy the Dell Inspiron 15 laptop
You shouldn't expect the Dell Inspiron 15 to challenge the performance of the best laptops, considering its affordable price, but you can count on it to serve as a dependable companion for your daily tasks. With its 12th-generation Intel Core i7 processor and Intel Iris Xe Graphics, plus 16GB of RAM that our guide on how much RAM do you need says is on the level of top-tier machines, activities such as managing spreadsheets, doing online research, and building presentations won't be a problem for the Windows 11 Home-powered Dell Inspiron 15. When it's time for rest and recreation, the laptop can also serve as a solid entertainment device -- it's not going to play the best PC games at their highest settings, but it's great for catching up on streaming shows.

You should be ready to spend a lot of cash if you want a powerful gaming laptop, but you should be on the lookout for gaming laptop deals that you can take advantage of. You may want to consider this offer from Dell for the Alienware m16 R2 with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card -- from its original price of $1,900, it's down to $1,600 following a $300 discount. It's still not what you'd call affordable, but the savings are a nice bonus with this purchase. You have to hurry though, as the device may be back to its regular price as soon as tomorrow.

Why you should buy the Alienware m16 R2 gaming laptop
We described the Alienware m16 R2 as "a fresh start for the brand's gaming laptops," as it fixes some of its predecessor's design problems with a thinner chassis and lighter weight. It's still a pretty large gaming laptop with a 16-inch screen, but that's a good thing for gamers who want to take in all the details of the video games that they're playing. With QHD+ resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate, it's going to be easy to get lost in the worlds that you're exploring through the Alienware m16 R2.
