Dell’s Back to School Sale is in full swing, with big price cuts on laptops, monitors, and gaming consoles. Tons of products from the Alienware lineup are included in the event–making this a great time to upgrade your rig. You’ll also find a handful of professional desktops down to some of their best prices of 2023, along with a nice discount on Xbox Series X.
Many of the laptops and desktops in the sale can be bundled with additional content (such as a Microsoft 365 membership or discounted accessories), so you can cross off multiple items on your shopping list with a single purchase.
Here are more than 15 standout deals in Dell’s Back to School Sale.
$1,200 (was $1,550)
The G15 Gaming Laptop is an impressive gaming rig, boasting the powerful GeForce RTX 4060 GPU and Intel Core i7-13650HX. It also benefits from 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD, the latter of which should be more than enough to hold all your favorite games. Its 15.6-inch display makes it both portable yet easy to play on, though we recommend pairing it with a monitor for the best experience (a handful of which are also on sale at Dell).
$1,550 (was $1,900)
Alienware is known for manufacturing powerful and reliable gear, and the M16 Gaming Laptop is no exception. Designed around a Ryzen 9 and Radeon RX 7600M XT, it can run most games with ease. It also looks great too, thanks to a sleek black chassis and per-key RGB lights. Better yet, you can upgrade its storage and memory–making this a bit more future-proof than some other gaming laptops.
$849 (was $1,099)
Clocking in well under $1,000, the XPS 13 Laptop is perfect for school, work, and maybe even a bit of gaming. Its 13.4-inch display makes it an ideal travel companion, while its Intel Iris Xe graphics can handle some light gaming. Toss in a 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM, and an ultra-thin footprint, and you’ve got a well-rounded laptop that’s perfect for an “on-the-go” lifestyle.
$475 (was $500)
The Xbox Series X isn’t on sale often, and most deals are bundle offers. But during Dell’s new sale, you’ll find the standalone Series X for just $475. Consider checking it out if you’re interested in the upcoming Microsoft exclusive, Starfield.
$120 (was $160)
This affordable monitor is a great fit for most setups. With 1080p resolution and a 75Hz refresh rate, it’s a nice, budget-friendly display for your home office. Dell designed it with a slim bezel, small footprint, and anti-glare technology, all of which make it a great value at this discounted price.
