I’ve been testing laptops and building PCs for more than seven years, and these are my top picks from Dell’s Black Friday sale

Black Friday is officially upon us, and it’s the best time of year to pick up a great deal on some Dell hardware.

Both laptops and desktops from Dell are seeing big discounts for the holiday sale season, with the Dell XPS 13 down to $899 (was $1,199) at the Dell Store, and the Alienware Aurora R16 desktop gaming PC down to $1,999 (was $2,799). UK shoppers can enjoy some great discounts too – my top pick is the XPS 13 again, now just £598 (was £968) at Dell UK, which is an absolute steal for one of my personal-favorite laptops.

Dell doesn’t get enough respect, in my opinion: we’ve seen some solid deals on laptops from the likes of Lenovo, Acer, and Asus this Black Friday, but these Dell deals aren’t to be missed. Whether you want a beefy gaming desktop or a svelte laptop for work or school, we’ve got you covered this Black Friday.

If there’s one product to highlight here, it is of course the iconic Dell XPS 13, a laptop that has long been a staple of our best laptop guide, with each new iteration somehow better than the last. With deep discounts on this premium ultrabook in both the US and the UK, it’s the current hottest product in the laptop space.

It’s also worth noting that most of the best Black Friday deals on Dell products come not from Amazon or other major retailers, but from Dell itself. The manufacturer is a little unusual in that the biggest discounts during sale events are typically found on its own online store, and the key advantage of that is that you know you’re getting a brand-new product with a dependable warranty, so set any qualms you might have aside.
