Dell's Memorial Day Sale is currently underway, offering some of the brand's best deals of the year. Whether you are seeking a reliable everyday laptop, a sleek and powerful ultrabook, or a high-performance gaming rig, there are numerous great choices available.
As our platform's deals editor, I have carefully scoured the entire sale to identify discounts on our favorite models. Below, I have rounded up the standout deals that I believe are worth consideration.
Budget-Friendly Options
If you are on a tight budget, the Inspiron 15 is an excellent option, now available for just $279 (was $379). This laptop does not boast super-high-end specs but includes a decent Ryzen chipset and a spacious 512GB SSD. It is ideal for browsing, shopping, or media consumption, although it may struggle with more demanding tasks.
Another budget-friendly choice is the Dell Inspiron 14, now available for $599 (was $849). This laptop features a 15.6-inch display, an Intel Core 7 chipset, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD, making it a perfect budget-friendly workhorse.
Highly Recommended Models
The brand new Dell 14 Plus is available for $829, and the Dell XPS 13 is available for $849. Both models have received outstanding ratings from our team, and they are both excellent buys if you are searching for something lightweight and powerful.
Gaming Deals
Additionally, today's Memorial Day sale at Dell includes fantastic discounts on Alienware gaming PCs, including the very latest Area-51 series. These high-end machines are not inexpensive, but they offer fully upgradable cases and impressive components. With the sale nearing its conclusion, now is an excellent time to take a look at these powerful rigs while the deals are still live.
The Best Deals in Today's Dell Memorial Day Sale

Although most of Dell's super-budget machines have already sold out in the brand's Memorial Day sales, you can still find a nice discount on this Inspiron 15. As an entry-level machine, this model does not pack in super-high-end specs, but you do still get a decent Ryzen chipset and a spacious 512GB SSD. It is suitable for browsing, shopping, or watching media, although it may struggle with more demanding tasks.
- Dell Inspiron 14: Was $849.99 Now $599.99 at DellDisplay: 15.6-inchProcessor: Intel Core 7-150URAM: 16GBStorage: 1TB
My favorite mid-range laptop deal in the Dell Memorial Day sale is this heavily discounted Inspiron 14. It boasts a smaller 14-inch display, making it a fantastic choice if portability is a priority, and offers a lineup of impressive specs. Although not a super high-end machine, it will not struggle with demanding apps thanks to its 16GB of RAM and Intel Core 7 chipset.
- Dell 14 Plus: Was $1,129.99 Now $829.99 at DellDisplay: 14-inchProcessor: Intel Core Ultra 7-256VRAM: 16GBStorage: 1TB
It is difficult to ignore this deal on the 14 Plus, as this model has just been released and has received an outstanding rating from our team. Overall, we believe this is one of the best value machines available right now, thanks to its excellent design, portability, and performance. It is not quite as premium as the XPS range, but with an Ultra 7 chipset, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD, this one is a great value buy right now.
- Dell XPS 13: Was $1,049.99 Now $849.99 at DellDisplay: 13.4-inchProcessor: Snapdragon X PlusRAM: 16GBStorage: 256GB
If you are searching for a premium and portable laptop, this is one of the cheapest prices I have seen yet for the latest Snapdragon-equipped Dell XPS 13 laptops. With an ARM chipset, this one features class-leading battery life as well as plenty of power for all your everyday apps and tasks. The only downside? You get a rather measly 256GB storage drive here, although note that the 1TB storage version is also on sale for $999.99 (was $1,299) at Dell today.
- Alienware 16 Area-51 gaming laptop: Was $3,599 Now $3,299.99 at DellGraphics card: GeForce RTX 5080Processor: Intel Core Ultra 9-275HXRAM: 64GB DDR5Storage: 2TB
Here's the first significant price cut on the brand-new 16-inch Alienware Area-51 gaming laptop, and it's a good one. With $300 off, this high-end configuration with an RTX 5080 and an Ultra 9 processor is a little easier on the pocket. Although a pricey buy, you are getting eye-wateringly powerful components here that are more than enough to power the 240Hz QHD+ display that this machine features.
- Alienware 18 Area-51 gaming laptop: Was $3,799 Now $3,499.99 at DellGraphics card: GeForce RTX 5080Processor: Intel Core Ultra 9-275HXRAM: 64GB DDR5Storage: 2TB
Today's discount on the 18-inch model is even better than the one on the 16-inch model, with an impressive $500 discount. The specs on this featured configuration are the same as the model featured above, but you get a larger 18-inch 300Hz QHD+ display that is perfect if you have a more static setup. At 18 inches, this massive laptop is not the most portable, but it is perfect for delivering a desktop-like experience.
- Alienware Aurora gaming PC: Was $1,699.99 Now $1,449.99 at DellGraphics card: RTX 4060 TiProcessor: Intel Core Ultra 7-265FRAM: 32GBStorage: 1TB
Super-cheap gaming PCs are conspicuously absent in the Dell Memorial Day sale, but this Alienware Aurora is a rare exception. This is one of the better value gaming PCs with an RTX 4060 Ti on the market right now, and you also get 32GB of DDR5 RAM and an Ultra 7 processor. Subsequently, this one is perfect if you just want smooth frame rates at 1080p right out of the box.
- Alienware Area-51 gaming desktop: Was $5,049 Now $4,649.99 at DellGraphics card: RTX 5080Processor: Intel Core Ultra 9-285KRAM: 64GBStorage: 4TB
Today's $400 price cut is the first deal I have seen on the brand-new Alienware Area-51 gaming desktop at the official site. It is for the slightly higher-end RTX 5080 configuration with 64GB of RAM and a 4TB SSD, making it a good option if you are looking for a powerful multi-tasking workstation with plenty of storage. Unfortunately, no price cuts are available on the slightly cheaper configurations right now!
