If you’re not into the hassle of setting up a desktop system, an all-in-one might be a solid option. Housing every component you need in the monitor casing, they’re great for everyday use. Dell’s Inspiron line of all-in-ones are reliable and well-built, and right now they’re on serious sale. In our review, writer Matthew Elliott called it “a versatile and space-saving home PC” and gave high marks to its solid audio and visual output, attractive design and competent performance. This build ships with an AMD Ryzen 5 7530U processor, 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. $150 off is also a very nice discount.

Dell’s Inspiron laptop is the cornerstone of their consumer line, coming in at low prices with performance that is always acceptable, if not spectacular. The Inspiron 15 is a solid example. In our review, writer Mark Knapp noted that it was “a peppy-enough and affordable-enough home or remote work machine,” with praise for its solid battery life, port selection and 120Hz display refresh rate. This configuration ships with a 12th Gen Intel Core i5-1235U processor with integrated UHD graphics, 8GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD and Windows 11 Home.

Dell markets many of their gaming-centric releases under their Alienware brand, and while you can expect to pay a premium, they deliver performance to match. In our review of this spectacular curved monitor, analyst Zackery Cuevas gave it an Editors’ Choice award and said that it was “one of the best curved gaming monitors on the market,” praising its AMD FreeSync compatibility, accurate color coverage and excellent picture quality in SDR and HDR modes. The gentle 1000R curvature brings you into the action of your favorite first-person titles, and it’s a breeze to set up and adjust.

If you’re looking for a budget gaming machine, this isn’t it, but with a $560 discount the Alienware m16 is a little more attainable for people looking for maximum performance on the go. In our review, writer Matthew Buzzi says the machine is “one of the best-built and best-performing 16-inch gaming laptops available,” thanks to its top-notch design, excellent connectivity options and solid internals. This deal gets you an AMD Ryzen 9 7000 Series processor, a GeForce RTX 4080 GPU, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD.
