Grab one of these discounted Dell laptops and get a free $200 Visa prepaid card

Add as a preferred source on Google

Dell remains one of the longest-standing titans in the PC market, and not without reason: From budget-minded work machines to high-end gaming computers, Dell has something for everyone. Its online store has also been running some pretty great sales and discounts this summer, too.

If you missed the chance to score one of those laptop deals during last month’s July 4 or Amazon Prime sales (and you don’t want to wait until Black Friday this fall), Dell is still offering some nice price cuts right now on a few of its top-rated laptops, plus a free $200 prepaid Visa card with your purchase. We picked out our top two favorites below.

Dell XPS 13 Laptop

Dell’s sleek XPS 13 laptop has long been, and still remains, one of our favorite featherweight Windows machines. Dell has continued to refine the design over the years, so it doesn’t look like the XPS 13 is going to fall off that list any time soon, and with a new model rolled out earlier this year, the 2018 version is an excellent buy right now. Along with its superb 13-inch 4K touch display and world-class build quality, this laptop comes with an eighth-generation Intel i7 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD which deliver a fantastic performance.

These premium ultrabooks can get a little pricey, so deals like this are always nice: Dell has this 2018 XPS 13 model marked down to $1,250 at the moment, saving you $350 and giving you a $200 prepaid Visa card on top of that to sweeten the deal. This offers you a combined savings of $550 on one of the best Windows laptops money can buy.

Alienware m15 Gaming Laptop

Dell offers some pretty solid midrange gaming laptops under its own brand, but many people may not know that Dell is also the name behind the high-end Alienware PCs. The Alienware m15 could be called the workhorse of the line with its 15.6-inch Full HD display hitting the sweet spot in size for a gaming machine that’s still reasonable to carry around. This updated model also boasts a newer ninth-generation Intel i7-9750H six-core CPU, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, a 512GB SSD, and a beefy GeForce RTX 2060 GPU (one of Nvidia’s latest graphics cards), which are capable of delivering plenty of power for running newer games for years to come.

The Alienware line represents the cream of the Dell crop so these laptops are naturally expensive, but a $380 discount knocks the 2019 Alienware m15 down to $1,700. After the $200 prepaid Visa card, this deal effectively lets you score this super-charged gaming laptop for just $1,500.

An AI pet portrait maker or workout app that looks harmless could be hiding nudifying tools. According to a Wired investigation, hundreds of apps on Google's Play Store and Apple's App Store were found disguising themselves as pet photo editor, language tutor, workout coaches and other mundane apps.

Under the right conditions, those ordinary-looking apps quietly switched over to a hidden interface that generated sexually abusive deepfakes. Researchers from AI Forensics uncovered the network, which includes 400+ connected apps and domains.

Everything You Need in Your First Laptop Without the Luxury Price Tag 
The Dell 15 makes its case that budget laptops do not have to feel cheap, or sluggish.

The PC market has never been more diverse, and utterly punishing on the wallet, thanks to the AI boom and resultant price inflation we are seeing in 2026. Most people shopping for a pocket-friendly laptop don’t necessarily care about core counts, clock speeds, or refresh rates. They want something that opens Chrome quickly, plays Netflix without stuttering, and survives a few years of assignments.

For a long time, that was too much to ask. I’ve tested plenty of budget laptops that felt tired out of the box, with plastic that flexed under my palms and fans that roared every time I opened a few tabs. Most of them felt noticeably slower within a year.

The change will initially be available to select users before a wider rollout.

For the unaware, Anthropic made a similar change to Claude back in September, when it merged the Chat and Cowork functions into one screen.
