XPS, Alienware and more: here are the Dell Labor Day sales I'm shopping

The Dell XPS 13 (2026) is a serious rival to the MacBook Neo. It can be configured to your liking, but the base model packs a 13.4-inch 2.5K touchscreen display, Core i5-320 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. You also get two USB 3 ports and an all-aluminum design. Starting at $699, it's a budget laptop worth considering. In our XPS 13 2026 review, we called it the "the best budget Windows laptop right now." Note: Students can get it for $599 upon verifying their student status at Dell.

This gaming laptop deal delivers powerful internals at a reasonable price. Inside, it features an Intel Core Ultra 7-240H CPU, 16GB of RAM, 512GB SSD, and an RTX 5050 GPU, which is more than enough for multiple modern AAA titles. Plus, game visuals will look crisp and smooth with its 16-inch (2560 x 1600) 120Hz display.

The Dell 16 Laptop is a mainstream machine that's built to last. For the price, you get a 16-inch 1920 x 1200 IPS display (with built-in anti-glare), Ryzen 7 250 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD.

Save on this 16 Plus configuration, which is decked out with AMD's Ryzen AI 5 340 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. This laptop is an especially great pick for students, as it's well-equipped to last for years. Plus, after your work is done for the day, you can stream your favorite shows on its 16-inch 2K (1920 x 1200) display.

This 14 Plus configuration packs a lot of horsepower inside the body of a 14-inch laptop. We're fans of its 14-inch 2.5K IPS display, which is as great for everyday tasks as it is for entertainment. You also get a Core Ultra 7-256V CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD.

Looking for an extra performance boost? The Dell XPS 16 will do the trick, sporting an Intel Core Ultra 7-355 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. Better yet, you'll get a 16.3-inch 2K display for some sweet visuals and casual gaming. In our XPS 16 review we said the Editor's Choice machine is our new favorite Windows machine.

Not every desktop computer requires a giant desk. This Inspiron Slim Desktop has decent specs, including an Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, but with a smaller footprint. With the nice discount, it's worth getting for anyone in the market for a new desktop PC. You also get 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD.

Dell's mainstream all-in-one just got an impressive price cut. It packs a Core 5-120U CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. The screen is also sizable at 27 inches with a 1080p resolution.

This Dell Tower PC is a great addition to your home office. It sports an Intel Core Ultra 5-225 processor with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. It also sports a sleek new look with plenty of ports on board.

For a budget-friendly curved gaming monitor option, the Alienware AW3225DM will take you far. This 32-inch QHD (2560 x 1400) monitor comes with a 180Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync support, and its 1500R curvature means more immersion when playing the latest games. And it comes with two HDMI 2.1 ports and a DisplayPort 1.4 for good measure.

This well-designed 34-inch 4K display from Alienware is one of the best curved monitors on the market for folks seeking a high-speed gaming display. In our Alienware 34 QD-OLED review we said it runs like a dream thanks to its smooth 240Hz refresh rate and fast 0.03ms response time. It's a steal at its current price.
