It's wild how many Dell laptop deals I'm about to show you.
It's officially June, so you wouldn't typically think that it's the best time to shop. We've left the recent Memorial Day sales in the rearview mirror, and as we ride into the summer, we're still yet to bump into Prime Day deals (although there are already some Prime Day-worthy deals to check out, yay!).
Still, unexpected as they may be, Dell laptop deals are very much here, and the best deal gives you savings of up to $900.
Fine, let's start out big. The Alienware x16 R2 gaming laptop is now $2,799, down from $3,699, at Dell. With $900 in savings and Nvidia's best last-gen graphics card, the RTX 4090, this is one gaming beast that's certainly worth buying. For more inspiration, don't forget to check out our ranking of the best gaming laptops.
Gamers, breathe, I do have a cheaper option for you: the Dell G16 is now $1,381 (down from $1,469) if you apply a coupon at Amazon.
If you want a laptop that does laptop things and doesn't need to be used for (too much) gaming, the Dell Precision 15 5550 was $899, but it's now $460 at Walmart. Dell also has the Inspiron 16 2-in-1 on sale right now, at a major discount, too. It's down to $899 (previously $1,349), and who doesn't love a convertible laptop?
Whether you're eyeing something for gaming, something for work, or something that can do both, this June, Dell laptop deals are shockingly generous. Scroll on down to check out my favorite picks!

Dell naming scheme: Which Dell laptop is best for you?
Choosing the right Dell laptop gets a little confusing, but knowing the company's naming scheme lets you differentiate between the best of the best and the mainstream laptops.
But before we get down to the wild and wonderful world of Dell naming conventions, let's talk about series numbers and names.
It's worth noting that Dell recently updated its naming scheme for upcoming products. You'll now see three tiers of products: Dell, Dell Plus, and Dell Premium for consumer products, and Dell Pro, Dell Pro Plus, Dell Pro Premium, Dell Pro Max Plus, and Dell Pro Max Premium for laptops for professionals.
The older names still apply to previous laptops, though, which is why we'll cover them here, but they're no longer relevant to products released in 2025 and beyond.
If you're buying an older Dell, you'll find that some — like the Inspiron and Latitude — are also broken down by series numbers such as 3000, 5000 and 7000. Systems in the 3000 series are typically entry-level devices with lower-end components and a price tag to match, while 5000-series laptops cover mid-tier configurations.
Consumers who are in search of a high-end system will want to check out notebooks with 7000-series stamps, since they typically offer premium build materials as well as top-of-the-line specs.
With that out of the way, let's break it down into different product lines.
Dell XPS (Dell Premium)
The crème de la crème of Dell's consumer laptops, the XPS line (now known as Dell Premium) is all about high-end looks, with specs and pricing to match.
Targeting power users and creative professionals alike, the XPS is Dell's answer to Apple's MacBook Pro, offering high-resolution displays and speedy performance capabilities that are perfect for video or photo editing (check out our tips for getting the most usage and value out of your XPS 13).
Dell Inspiron and Inspiron Plus (Dell and Dell Plus)
Inspirons are the wide-ranging brand for Dell's general-purpose consumer laptops, and they come in a variety of sizes, designs and price ranges. They are now known as either Dell Plus (for Inspiron Plus) or Dell (for Inspiron).
These laptops are definitely not made for business, nor do they have the premium features of the pricier XPS line.
Dell Latitude (Dell Pro, Pro Plus, Pro Premium)
A true business line, Latitudes are available in different designs, sizes, and price ranges. You can tell them apart from their consumer-centric siblings by the "Dell Pro" name.
They are built to withstand the rigors of work, and most have some degree of rugged certification and a number of security features that include TPM, vPro, and optional fingerprint readers. As with the Inspiron line, Latitudes are divided up into 3000, 5000, and 7000 series models, with the 3000 series being the cheapest and the 7000 offering the most premium designs.
Dell Precision (Dell Pro Max, Max Plus, Pro Max Premium)
Outfitted with high-end components, these pricey mobile workstations can handle the rigors of mechanical design, engineering simulations or animations without breaking a sweat. Dell Precision has been rebranded to Dell Pro Max.
Dell Alienware
Featuring flashy customizable light shows, powerful specs and gorgeous displays, Alienware laptops are the gold standard for gaming. These systems are available in three main sizes that can be configured to your specific gaming needs.
