When a fast and powerful desktop PC is what you need, one of the best brands in the business is Dell. For years, Dell has produced exceptional PCs with strong processors, graphics, and a fantastic Windows backbone. But while scanning through Dell deals this week, we came across a sale we just had to flag.

For a limited time, Dell is selling the Dell XPS Desktop (8960) for only $1,460. At full price, this model usually goes for $1,760, which means you’ll be able to put that $300 toward one of the best monitor deals we dug up!

Why you should buy the Dell XPS Desktop

In our roundup of the best gaming desktops for 2024, the Dell XPS Desktop makes an appearance. We called it “the gaming PC for remote workers,” and what we mean by that is the XPS Desktop has the looks of a traditional workplace PC; but underneath the hood, the core peripherals provide enough power to run some of the most demanding games of the year. So when the work day is over, you’re going to want to log into this beast from the comfort of your home to enjoy a round or two of Helldivers 2.

This version of the Dell XPS comes with an Intel Core i7-13700K, an NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti GPU, 32GB of RAM, and up to 1TB of internal storage. This rather small desktop PC also features solid air cooling and numerous connectivity options. From USB to HDMI, you’ll have zero issue hooking up the components that matter most to you. 

Desktop computer deals are always on our radar, and Dell tends to be one of the brands that gets the most attention. As such, we definitely recommend buying sooner rather than later, as it’s hard to say how long this sale is going to last. Save $300 when you order the Dell XPS Desktop (8960) directly through Dell. We also have a list of gaming PC deals for you to look through.

I upgraded from the M1 MacBook Air to the M5, and here’s what changed for me
The M5 changed more about my workflow than I expected.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

After about four years with the M1 MacBook Air, I finally pulled the trigger on the M5, and I got there just in time to dodge Apple's recent price hike by eleven days, a story I already told elsewhere, and one that still makes me feel unreasonably smug. Upgrading from the M1 was a multi-generational leap for me, not in the ways mentioned on the spec sheet, but in ways that actually changed how I work every day.

Here’s why that matters in 2026, when the memory crisis has hit the consumer electronics market so badly that even giants like Apple had to cave. MacBook Air M5 launched at $1,099, then climbed to $1,299.

Google’s upcoming Googlebook lineup is starting to take shape through leaks. Lenovo has already appeared in several renders, while a recent benchmark leak suggests Dell may bring the XPS name to Google’s new laptop platform. Asus is now the latest manufacturer to surface ahead of launch.

Digital Citizen has published multiple renders of an unannounced Asus Googlebook, showing its lid, keyboard, chassis, and port selection. The laptop could make its official debut at IFA next month. Googlebooks are expected to bring Android apps, ChromeOS technology, deeper phone integration, and Gemini features to a new generation of laptops. Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo are all expected to be part of the first wave.

I’m done charging things that never leave my desk
Wireless peripherals are better than ever, but I’m starting to value the devices that ask absolutely nothing of me
Computer, Computer Hardware, Computer Keyboard

I have two pairs of wireless earbuds that I rotate during long gaming sessions. When one starts complaining about its battery, I swap in the other pair and put the first one on charge. It’s a mildly ridiculous system, but it works. Apparently, my gaming setup now requires something resembling shift work.

Then my mouse died in the middle of a game.
