Today's discounts offer a great opportunity to snag a cheap machine before any potential tariff madness affects prices – and I've rounded up the best value laptop deals below.

My choices start at just $349 (was $449) for this superb-value Dell Inspiron 15. While there are cheaper Windows laptops out there right now, I think this one is a real bargain considering you get a decent-sized 512GB SSD and a powerful Ryzen 5 chipset.

Other great options include the Inspiron 14 Plus for $699 (was $999) and the Inspiron 16 Plus for $799 (was $1,099), which are both fantastic choices for a solid (and powerful) working-from-home machine.

Finally, I'd also recommend checking out the Dell XPS 13 for $1,199 (was $1,399) if you're looking for the perfect Windows-based alternative to the latest Apple MacBooks.

RAM - 8GB

While there are cheaper options at the official Dell Store today, my top choice if you're on a budget is this Inspiron 15. Highlight specs here include a decent Ryzen 5 chipset alongside a spacious 512GB SSD, which are both great components on a machine at this price point. While it's not the most powerful machine out there, this Dell Inspiron is perfect if you just want something that can cover the basics without breaking a sweat.

Moving up in price slightly, this deal on a Dell Inspiron 14 not only gets you a portable, travel-friendly 14-inch form factor, but a powerful chipset, a 1TB SSD, and 16GB of RAM right out of the box. These specs are decently powerful for the price and more than enough for most work and casual applications. This one's a particularly good choice for a solid work-from-home laptop.

Dell Inspiron 16 Plus

Here's another superb option if you're looking for a powerful laptop without completely breaking the bank. Thanks to a massive $300 price cut in the Dell Spring Sale, you can currently get this higher-end Inspiron 16 Plus for a mid-range price. With a powerful Ultra 9 processor, this machine is perfect as a workstation, although its larger 16-inch form factor means it's not as portable as some of the machines on our list.

Dell XPS 13

And finally, here's a great price on the latest Dell XPS 13, the brand's highest-end premium laptop. With a gorgeous aluminum design and extremely lightweight body, the XPS 13 is a great choice if you want something stylish and portable. It is expensive, but today's $200 price cut at Dell makes this Ultra 7 configuration a little easier on the pocket.
