How to choose a Dell laptop on Cyber Monday

Dell is one of the best laptop brands, so you won’t have to worry about reliability if you’re buying a Dell laptop. Instead, you should be looking at specifications, based on your needs and your budget. Our laptop buying guide discusses all the components that you need to know to be able to choose among the early Cyber Monday Dell laptop deals, starting with the laptop’s processor and RAM. We highly recommend getting the laptop with the newest processor and most RAM that you can afford — 8GB of RAM is for entry-level laptops while 32GB of RAM is the sweet spot for professionals and high-end gamers, according to our guide on how much RAM do you need.

Other characteristics to consider when selecting a Dell laptop to buy is its screen size. Laptop displays can go as small as 13 inches for portability, and as big as 18 inches if you want to fully appreciate the graphics of modern video games. You’ll also want to get as much storage as possible, but this is less important these days with the popularity of external SSDs and cloud storage services.

There’s a daunting number of early Cyber Monday Dell laptop deals, and it’s going to take a lot of time to go through all of them. Fortunately, we’ve already done the hard work for you. We made our recommendations above by selecting the Dell laptops and their configurations that provide the best value for your money — you don’t want to go really cheap because you’ll end up with a frustrating device, but you also don’t want to buy something really expensive when you won’t be able to maximize its capabilities.

I spent a fortune on a Copilot+ PC, and I’ve barely ever touched Microsoft’s AI
Microsoft needs to give Copilot+ PC owners a reason to use Copilot
Copilot

There is a dedicated Copilot key on my ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED. Months after buying the laptop, it may be one of the least important keys on the entire keyboard. My Zenbook UM3406 runs on AMD’s Ryzen AI 300 series processor, complete with a dedicated NPU offering up to 50 TOPS of AI performance. That qualifies it as a Copilot+ PC, which makes it a part of what Microsoft once described as the new era for Windows.

AI is already a regular part of my workday. I use it for research, brainstorming, and working through ideas. But rather than relying on something built into the Windows OS, I've relied on the likes of ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

I bought into a brighter future, but my digital life bills monthly subscriptions
My day runs on streaming, cloud storage, AI, transport, and smart devices. None of it feels expensive until I realize almost nothing is ever fully paid for
Light, Adult, Female

Before I’ve properly started the day, several companies have already clocked in. Spotify or YouTube Premium handles the music, Google One keeps my files available, and an AI subscription is waiting in another tab to help me work faster.

Most of these charges earn their place. They save time, remove friction, and keep the day moving. I barely notice them until I think about what would stop working if one payment didn’t go through.

What happens when AI detectors fail? Researchers say we must be trained to spot fake AI faces
Researchers say spotting AI faces may soon depend more on people than software

Artificial intelligence has become remarkably good at creating fake human faces. So good, in fact, that the old tricks people relied on - counting fingers, spotting warped earrings, or looking for distorted backgrounds - are quickly becoming obsolete. According to a new study highlighted by the BBC, the next line of defence may not be a better AI detector at all. It might simply be a better-trained human.

Researchers from the University of Aberdeen, working alongside Australia's National University, found that people can dramatically improve their ability to distinguish AI-generated faces from real ones after a relatively short period of structured training. Instead of hunting for obvious visual glitches, participants were taught to recognise subtle patterns that modern image generators still struggle to replicate consistently.
