Dell Canada is celebrating March with a huge sitewide sale on some of our favorite laptops and desktops. Dell semi-annual sales are pretty common, but this sale is more aggressive than usual with discounts on entry-level machines, premium gaming rigs, and big-screen monitors. 

I've combed through some of today's deals to surface the very best sales. I've hand-picked deals on Dell devices we've tested and/or recommend. Currently, one of the best deals is XPS 13 for CAD $1,299 at Dell. The model on sale packs a Core i7-1250U CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. It's $200 off and one of the better configurations we've seen on sale. Below are other deals I'd recommend during TechFest.
