Good Deal The Dell Pro Micro Desktop PC on a white background.
Dell

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.

Microsoft’s new Surface PCs are cheaper — but there’s a catch
Cardboard, Box, Carton

The tech industry’s favorite balancing act is getting harder by the month. Component prices are rising, memory costs refuse to settle down, and laptop makers are scrambling to keep sticker shock under control. Microsoft’s latest Surface refresh feels like a direct response to that problem.

The company has introduced new entry-level versions of its 12-inch Surface Pro and 13-inch Surface laptop, offering lower starting prices without changing the processor or storage. On the surface, that sounds like good news for budget-conscious buyers. Dig a little deeper, however, and you’ll find a compromise hiding in plain sight.

A new supercomputer has dethroned the U.S — here’s why it matters
Crowd, Person, Architecture

The race to build the world’s fastest supercomputer has been dominated by the United States. Now, China has stormed back into the lead.

But what makes LineShine particularly interesting is how it got there.
