Since 1984, Dell has been dominating the prebuilt PC and accessory market by making hardware that keeps up with modern needs at reasonable prices. Their desktops and laptops are consistently good values and review well when we put them through our benchmarking process in the PC Labs. If you're in the market for a new machine, they've already launched their Memorial Day sale in advance of the long weekend, and here are three of the top offers we've found, with more to come.

Dell Laptop Deals

Dell makes a wide variety of laptops for every situation, and the latest Inspiron Plus is an interesting hybrid, adding a Nvidia graphics card to a relatively standard productivity loadout in order to fuel the various AI features that Microsoft is betting will be a big part of Windows for generations to come. We reviewed the Inspiron 16 Plus and were positive about it, noting that it delivered respectable battery life, the aluminum casing was solid and well-manufactured, and the large matte screen was easy on the eyes even over long periods. Dell's pre-Memorial Day sale lets you slash $400 from the retail price.

Dell Gaming Laptop Deals

It's a spendy one, but for all-around performance the Alienware x16 R2 is a tough gaming portable to beat, especially kitted out with an RTX 4090 graphics card. In our review, we praised the incredible amount of tech that went into this slim machine, including the gorgeous QHD+ 240Hz display that's capable of keeping up with the blistering framerate that GPU can pump out. The rest of the silicon is no slouch, with a speedy Core Ultra 9 processor coupled with 32GB of system memory. Customizable RGB key, touchpad, and chassis lighting adds an extra touch of style, and slicing $900 off makes it pretty tempting.

Dell Desktop Deals

Dell has a few configurations of this versatile and affordable desktop tower for sale, but only one of them is seeing a $240 discount right now. It's worth checking out, as this prebuilt definitely gets the job done while keeping costs down. In our review, we praised its industrial-grade construction and durability, with a high memory ceiling and plenty of room for storage expansion if you want to use some of the money you save to boost it there. This is a mid-range loadout, but you can still expect it to tackle productivity and creativity tasks thanks to the Radeon Pro W6400 graphics card.

We’re finding Early Memorial Day Deals everywhere, from retailers like Amazon and Walmart to top brands like Apple and HP. And don’t forget to check out all of the Memorial Day Deals Under $100 and Under $50
