The Deals Team worked triple overtime during Amazon‘s Prime Big Deal Days, and PCMag readers benefited by getting tons of amazing tech at cut-rate prices. If you didn’t have a chance to shop Amazon’s two-day sale, a few offers are still hanging on for dear life. I saved a selection of Dell laptops, desktops, and monitors that are still showing sale prices, each one backed up with PCMag lab tests and reviews so you know they’re worth the money.
Dell Laptop Last Chance Prime Day Deals
Dell 15.6 Laptop Deal
Looking for a capable productivity laptop that won’t decimate your bank account? Amazon has an $99 discount on the already affordable Dell 15 portable, a budget-priced PC that’s a staple for commuters and students alike. We have an in-depth review of this unit, in which we note that it feels reasonably sturdy and lightweight, has an all-plastic chassis, and handles the basics with aplomb. In this price range, an FHD screen is the best you can expect, and although we wish it were a bit brighter, Dell’s ComfortView software helps reduce blue light emissions, making it comfortable to use for long periods. The addition of lifted hinges also gives the keyboard a more ergonomic angle.
Dell XPS 13 Laptop Deal
For something a little more potent, the Snapdragon X Elite-powered XPS 13 is a terrific portable with high-quality components and an excellent build. We gave this one an “Excellent” rating in our review, with PCMag expert Eric Grevstad saying that it “scores high for curb appeal and price-for-performance,” noting that the sturdy chassis is nearly flex-free, the Arm processor runs near the head of the pack, and with 32GB of RAM, you can multitask all day. It did well in our battery testing, with nearly 15 hours of video playback on a single charge. Port selection isn’t peak, with just a single USB-C on each side, but Wi-Fi 7 connectivity and Bluetooth 5.4 let you do everything wirelessly anyway. Take $200 off while you can.
Alienware Aurora 16 Gaming Laptop Deal
If you’re interested in PC gaming but don’t want to shell out thousands for all the latest components, this is a solid deal on an Alienware machine with some very strong points. It’s got a zippy Intel Core 7 processor that’ll handle most popular games, and although the RTX 4050 card isn’t the latest and greatest, it’s still capable of solid performance on the WQXGA display with good frame rates. Build quality is solid, with an anodized aluminum lid and nice-feeling keyboard. Heat management is a major factor in gaming portables, and the Aurora 6’s new design, which lacks a thermal shelf, can run at high speeds for extended periods with minimal fan noise. Snagging a gaming laptop at this level for under $1,500 is a great deal.
Dell Desktop Last Chance Prime Day Deals
Dell Pro Tower Desktop Prime Day Deal
Need a little muscle in your business desktop? This Dell Pro Tower loadout is on sale for 36% off, bringing it down under a very reasonable $800. Dell desktops are the backbone of businesses all over the world for good reason, and the Core i3 processor has what it takes for everyday productivity, along with integrated Intel 730 graphics for high-resolution output. Couple that with 16GB of RAM and a full terabyte of storage, and you’ve got a daily driver that will last a long time. Other perks include solid wired and wireless connectivity with Gigabit Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6, along with plenty of ports for your peripherals. You’ll have a hard time snagging a desktop this capable at a similar price.
If desk space is at a premium, Dell also has a solid line of mini desktops, with the Pro Micro Plus packing a lot of performance into a tiny box. Weighing in at just six pounds, it houses excellent performance-focused components, including a 20-core Intel Ultra 7 processor that’ll dominate most productivity jobs, along with 16GB of RAM for smooth multitasking. With support for 4K output to up to four monitors, you can have tons of windows open, and additional connectivity via 20Gbps USB-C lets you hook up an external drive to supplement the 512GB inside the box. Windows 11 Pro comes preinstalled for peak security and access control, and the PC is durable and thermally solid. A 35% discount is an appealing deal.
Dell Monitor Last Chance Prime Day Deals
Dell 32 UHD Monitor Deal
Need a monitor to go with your new desktop? Dell has you covered, and this is a great price for a 32-inch screen with good image quality and ergonomic features. Picture quality is solid, with 99% sRGB and 95% DCI-P3 color coverage, a 1500:1 contrast ratio, and 300-nit brightness. ComfortView Plus blue-light reduction tech also helps keep it usable for long periods. The minimal podium stand lets you tilt and pivot the screen and adjust its height. Finally, the built-in speakers are assertive and crisp.
Alienware 24 Gaming Monitor Deal
We’ve also got a really nice price on a capable FHD gaming display with a whip-crackingly fast 320Hz refresh rate. The Alienware 24 monitor is a no-frills Fast IPS screen with good color quality and brightness, but the real draw here is its responsiveness. We reviewed a similar model and praised its ultra-low 0.5ms gray-to-gray response time, support for Nvidia G-Sync, AMD FreeSync Premium, and VESA AdaptiveSync, and ComfortView Plus hardware-based low-blue-light output for long raids. While we’d like a higher resolution, for most mainstream action gaming, this is a very solid screen.
