If you want to buy a powerful device with a huge discount from laptop deals, you're going to want to set your sights on this offer for the Dell Inspiron 14 Plus. This configuration, which usually sells for $1,100, is on sale from Dell for only $800, for savings of $300 as part of a clearance sale. There's a chance that the remaining stocks are already running low though, so if you want to take advantage of this bargain, we highly recommend completing your purchase as soon as you can.

Why you should buy the Dell Inspiron 14 Plus laptop
The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus only received a score of 3 out of 5 stars in our review, primarily because you're only getting an IPS display, whereas other brands are already offering laptops with OLED screens at a similar price. However, with Dell's discount, this is less of a deal-breaker, especially since the 14-inch IPS screen is actually solid with 2.8K resolution. The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus also comes with a sleek but conservative design, and its build quality is pretty good, so it's a good choice for the laptop equivalent of a daily driver.

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.

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.
