Summer unofficially ends on Monday. That means the next few days are an excellent time to shop for a new PC. Retailers are offering aggressive deals as students shop back to school sales and Labor Day sales.

As one of the biggest PC manufacturers, Dell is offering epic deals this weekend. My favorite deal of the moment is the XPS 13 laptop on sale for $899 at Dell. It's an epic price for a machine that houses an Intel Ultra 5-226V CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Not to mention a gorgeous 13.4-inch 2K display.

If you need a new monitor, check out the Alienware 27-inch QD-OLED 4K Gaming Monitor on sale for $599. That's $300 off its regular price. Below I've rounded up all of my favorite Dell Labor Day sales happening now. For more deals, check out our Dell promo codes coverage.
