Early Dell Memorial Day laptop sales are here
Dell's Memorial Day sales are celebrating summer this year, and what better way to see in the sun than by sitting inside on your brand new laptop (or gaming PC). We regularly see some excellent prices across standard laptops, high-end gaming laptops, and graphics-busting desktop towers during seasonal sales events at Dell, and this year's early offers certainly don't disappoint.
You'll find entry-level Dell Inspiron 15 3000 laptops starting at just $229.99 right now (was $299.99), though the XPS 13 is also getting involved, with a base configuration taking a $570 discount to $899.99. However, Dell's Memorial Day sales are also hitting gaming laptops, with the G15 sporting an RTX 3050 GPU at a super low price of just $699.99 (was $1,029).
Of course, what would Memorial Day sales be without Alienware? Dell's gaming flagship is taking some serious price drops on powerful rigs right now, with the RTX 3060 Alienware M15 R6 dipping to just $1,099.99 (was $1,549.99) and the RTX 3080 Alienware Aurora R10 gaming PC hitting $1,799.99 for a full $720 off the final price.
