Dorm rooms and study tables should be free of clutter as much as possible, so students should have a desktop PC that won’t take up too much space. The Dell Pro Micro Desktop is a fantastic choice for this, especially now that it’s available from Dell’s back-to-school sale with a $220 discount on this configuration that’s usually sold for $979. That means you’ll only have to pay $759 for this mini desktop computer, but you’ll have to hurry if you want to take advantage of this offer as there are only limited quantities available.

Why you should buy the Dell Pro Micro Desktop

With dimensions of about 7.2 inches in height, 1.4 inches in width, and 7.0 inches in depth, the Dell Pro Micro Desktop won’t take up a lot of space. However, it will provide reliable performance for all kinds of schoolwork as it’s powered by the Intel Core Ultra 5 235T processor. It also comes with 16GB of RAM, which we recommend as the right amount for most people in our guide on how much RAM do you need. Whether it’s doing online research, building presentations, or creating multimedia projects, the Dell Pro Micro Desktop will prove to be a dependable machine.

The Dell Pro Micro Desktop ships with a 512GB SSD for ample storage space for the apps and files needed for the new school year, and it has Windows 11 Pro pre-installed for access to the operating system’s more advanced features. The desktop computer even comes with a wired mouse and keyboard, so all you’ll need is a monitor to complete the setup.

In one of the most attractive desktop computer deals for students, Dell has slashed the price of the Dell Pro Micro Desktop from $979 to a more affordable $759 for its back-to-school sale. You need to act fast if you want the savings of $220 though, as this is a limited-quantity offer that may end at any moment. The discount may be gone as soon as tomorrow, so we highly recommend pushing forward with your purchase of the Dell Pro Micro Desktop right now.

If you've ever purchased printer ink, you're aware of the annoyingly expensive cost behind something that seems so basic. But HP's latest problem goes considerably further. India’s Competition Commission has fined HP India and 21 of its resellers a combined 1.42 billion rupees, or roughly $15 million, after finding that they rigged bids for government contracts involving personal computers, toner, cartridges, and other printer supplies. The orders cover tenders placed through the Government e-Marketplace between 2017 and 2020.

Nvidia’s new RTX Spark platform has landed one of its first major games. Sega has confirmed that Virtua Fighter Crossroads will run on RTX Spark-powered laptops and compact desktop PCs when the game arrives in 2027. More Sega titles are also heading to the platform, although neither company has named them yet.

The announcement also marks more than 30 years of collaboration between Nvidia and Sega, a relationship that began when Nvidia’s NV1 graphics chip helped bring the original Virtua Fighter to PC. Sega later helped keep the young chipmaker alive by turning a $5 million payment into an investment when Nvidia was close to running out of money.

Two years later, it has finally arrived in a gaming laptop. Lenovo’s new Legion R9000P uses a 16-inch panel that TCL CSOT describes as the world’s first inkjet-printed OLED display integrated into a laptop.
