This is the best place to buy a Dell laptop this Amazon Prime Day

Amazon is rolling out its Prime Day deals as you read this, but if you’re after the best Prime Day laptop deals on a Dell machine, then Amazon isn’t the best place to find them — it’s the online Dell store itself, with this iconic PC maker running a huge sale of its own. For the duration of this event, Dell is offering huge markdowns of up to 30% (or even more) on its Inspiron and XPS laptops as well as its G-series and Alienware gaming laptops.

Dell is a titan in the PC world and few other names stand as tall as this one. The brand was one of the biggest leaders in the consumer computer revolution of the ’90s and early aughts (many of us remember, fondly or not, some of its now-famous TV commercials), but the company continues to innovate and has come a long way from the beige-colored PC towers and CRT monitors of decades past.

Today, the Dell laptop lineup covers everything from budget-friendly workhorse laptops and even Chromebooks to bleeding-edge 2-in-1s and beefy gaming machines, offering something for just about everybody. The classic Inspiron line, which has been running for decades now, is still going strong. That’s where you’ll find a solid and affordable no-frills Windows machine for work and general daily use, but the Inspiron name also graces a few nice (and also surprisingly affordable) touchscreen laptops if you want to give one of those a spin without paying an arm and a leg.

If you’re after something more high-end, though, then you’ll want to check out the Prime Day Dell XPS deals that are on offer. The XPS line has featured some of our favorite ultrabooks and 2-in-1 laptops for years now, with the Dell XPS 13 being our top pick of them all. This is where you’ll find features like 1200p or 4K displays and even discrete GPUs (particularly on the Dell XPS 15 and XPS 17 models) along with a premium overall look and feel thanks to these laptops’ world-class build quality.

Dell might be regarded as a suit-and-tie sort of PC maker, but the brand hasn’t left the gamers behind. The Dell G-series laptops are fantastic gaming machines for those on a budget, punching well above their price with the latest Nvidia GeForce graphics cards (and yes, that even includes the new RTX 30-series GPUs). The Dell G5 SE gaming laptop even lands on our list of best gaming laptops you can buy in 2021 Analogous to the premium XPS line is the Alienware line of gaming laptops which are also part of the Dell family even if they don’t wear the Dell logo. The Alienware m15 and m17 gaming laptops are the cream of the crop, sporting the beefiest hardware and the best displays — along with some of the biggest discounts during sales like Prime Day.

The side of the Alienware Aurora R15 desktop.

It feels like we keep seeing laptop deals and gaming PC deals from Alienware and Dell, and that's because we kind of are. Fortunately, as the maker of some great setups, such sales are always worth checking out. Here's a look at the latest great deals including some deep discounts on popular gaming laptops and the latest in gaming desktop technology.
Alienware Aurora R14 Ryzen Edition Gaming PC (RX 6600XT) -- $1,000, was $1,760

Ideal for anyone looking for a stylish gaming desktop that also packs a decent punch for the price, the Alienware Aurora R14 Ryzen Edition is a reliable option. It has an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X processor, 8GB of memory and 256GB of SSD storage. For the graphics card, there's an AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT which should keep you up to date with many of the latest games. To play some games like Hogwarts Legacy, you'll need to tweak the detail level a little but that's to be expected at this price. You still gain a good gaming desktop with a great case which means you can easily upgrade it without the need for tools.

I found the cheapest gaming laptop deal worth buying today
Dell G15 gaming laptop with a game scene on the screen, on a grey background.

The G15 is Dell's most popular gaming laptop thanks to its versatility and low price point. That price point just got even lower thanks to Dell's gaming laptop deals. Right now you can buy the G15 for only $800, $200 off its usual price tag. Dell's laptop deals are known to sell out quickly, so make sure to grab this before it's gone. If you're not convinced, read more details about its performance below.

Why you should buy the Dell G15 gaming laptop
At this price, the Dell G15 gaming laptop won't rival the best gaming laptops but it certainly makes gaming more affordable. You get a 12th-generation Intel Core i5 processor along with 16GB of memory, 512GB of SSD storage, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050. There's also a 15.6-inch full HD screen with 250 nits of brightness, and a 120Hz refresh rate to reduce motion blur. For $200 less at $650, you could buy a  with 8GB of memory and 256GB of SSD storage but we wouldn't recommend it. Games take up a lot of room these days so you're likely to need to swap between game installs often while the limited amount of RAM doesn't really cut it for gaming anymore. Unless you're on a very tight budget, stick with the better G15 model.

Dell Inspiron 15 -- $250, was $330

Laptop deals rarely get much cheaper than this Dell Inspiron 15. It's a pretty basic laptop with an Intel Pentium Silver processor, 4GB of memory and 128GB of SSD storage but if you simply need something capable of running Windows 11 Home in S Mode, it'll do the job well enough. Its 15.6-inch HD screen may lack an amazing resolution but it has anti-glare properties and its LED backlit which helps improve its quality. Other useful features include a spacious touchpad, roomy keycaps, and a lift hinge to make the typing angle more comfortable.
