Take this good value for money Dell Inspiron 15 for $449.99 (was $599.99). It may be an older laptop but it still boasts excellent high-end components, including an Intel i7 processor, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD for storage. That spec will smash through your everyday tasks such as web browsing, media streaming, admin jobs and video calls.

For something newer with even more power behind it, there's the latest Dell XPS 13 for $999.99 (was $1,199.99). It also features 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, but the big boost comes from the Snapdragon X Elite processor. This highly-rated chipset offers an impressive amount of performance for more demanding workloads and multitasking, plus you get an incredible battery life of up to 17 hours.
