Prices start as low as $529, but my picks cover a wide range of budgets and users. If you need a new laptop, you’ll definitely want to check out these sales at Dell before they go dark.

Why I’m recommending Dell’s discounted 16 Plus laptop for most of our readers
Dell has a bunch of devices on sale for a limited time during Memorial Day weekend, but I’m calling out the Dell 16 Plus laptop for most readers here at Windows Central. It’s a perfect PC for productivity and multitasking.
It usually costs $1,429.99 but is now discounted to just $899.99. I don’t expect that huge $530 discount to stick around for long.
At this discounted $899 price, the hardware you get is well above average. The laptop runs on an Intel Core Ultra 7 256V CPU, which has plenty of power for browsing, streaming, email, productivity, spreadsheets, etc.
And because it has a powerful NPU inside, it’s perfectly compatible with all of the latest Windows 11 Copilot+ AI tools. You certainly don’t need to use the AI tools, but it’s nice to have a laptop that can run them if you change your mind.
The CPU is joined by 16GB of LPDDR5x-8533 RAM and a 1TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. These speedy components contribute to the overall snappy feel of the laptop, making boot times and app loading a brief process.
Dell isn’t just throwing any old display in here, either. It’s a 16-inch non-touch screen with a 2.5K resolution, taller 16:10 aspect ratio, and an anti-glare finish with up to 300 nits brightness.
The larger display, the oversized touchpad, and the comfy keyboard with number pad all make it easy to get more done, and battery life is respectable. Modern Wi-Fi 7 handles internet, and there are plenty of ports, including Thunderbolt 4, USB-A, and HDMI 2.1.
