Dell makes some of the industry's best laptops and the Inspiron 13 5000 is a cheap alternative to Apple's beloved MacBook Air.
This Dell laptop on sale packs a 13.3-inch (1920 x 1080) display, a 10th Gen Intel Core i5-10210U quad-core CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. By comparison, Apple's latest 256GB MacBook Air 13-inch features a previous-gen 8th Gen Core i5 processor and costs a whopping $1,299.
Dell's Inspiron is the better value since you're getting the latest 10th Gen Intel power at more than half the price. Better yet, it's a U-series chip and not the underpowered Y-series processor.
We haven't done a full review of the 10th Gen version, but in our hands-on Inspiron 13 5000 review, we liked the laptop's upgraded plastic and metal construction. We were also impressed by its new drop hinge design which elevates the laptop to improve air circulation.
Regarding ports, Dell outfitted the Inspiron 13 with two USB 3.1 ports and an HDMI port. There's also a headphone/mic jack and a microSD card reader.
Dell's coupon expires March 19 at 8am ET and can be applied to multiple Dell laptops.
