Dell’s early Black Friday sale started Friday, Oct. 27. It covers four major categories: laptops, desktops, gaming PCs, monitors, and electronics and accessories. You’ll find the best deals on laptops and monitors.
Best Dell budget laptop on sale for Black Friday
The Inspiron 14 is currently $299.99 (originally $499.99), a 40% discount and the cheapest it has ever been according to Honey’s price history. It comes with the 2nd Gen. Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx processor. A potential downside: It runs Windows 11 Home S mode, which requires you to install apps only from the Microsoft Store. The 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage are also the bare minimum, but that’s what you get with budget laptops. Better news: You’ll get up to 16 hours of battery life (or so Dell claims).
