The discount does not apply to all products. For example, some Alienware gaming laptops are excluded. The size of the discount available also differs based on the product selected as well.
There is also a section of the Dell website that lists a range of Dell student deals currently available. The discounts include as much as $345 off a Dell XPS 15 laptop as well as big savings on monitors and PC desktops. Even better, these deals are open to everybody even shoppers who aren’t currently studying.
