Back to school season typically starts in late June and ramps up later in the summer. I usually advise students to make their purchases then, but this year my advice is to shop now. The Dell Memorial Day sale is currently offering some great deals and with the uncertainty looming over tech tariffs, there's no reason to delay your purchase.

For example, right now you can get the XPS 13 laptop on sale for $909 at Dell. I love this deal because this configuration packs a Snapdragon X Plus CPU, 16GB RAM, and a 256GB SSD. I'd recommend upgrading to 512GB of storage, but otherwise it's still one of the best laptops we’ve reviewed.

If you need a pair of new monitors, Dell and Alienware displays are on sale from $79. Gamers will want to check out the Alienware 27-inch QD-OLED 4K Gaming Monitor on sale for $649. That's $250 off its regular price. Below I've rounded up all of my favorite Dell Memorial Day sales happening now. For more deals, check out our Dell promo codes coverage and our Memorial Day sales live blog.

Insta360 Ace Pro Digital Camcorder
Insta360 Ace Pro Digital Camcorder: was $349 now $289 at Dell

During our Insta360 Ace Pro review, we thought it was a really solid camera but overpriced at $449 ($50 higher than a new GoPro). The 8K support didn't justify the price. However, Dell has massively dropped its price to $289, making this a much more tempting purchase given it's powerful video specs, fantastic stabilization and best-in-class (and free) smartphone app.
