Dell’s Techfest is in full swing for spring: Here are the best deals

By
Dell Techfest and best tech on sale featured.
Dell

Dell’s Techfest is officially underway. It’s a big celebration of the best in modern technology, particularly computers, monitors, and peripherals, but there are also some surprises in there — like game consoles, backpacks, and more. While normally, we’d recommend browsing the sale yourself, and you absolutely should, we’ve also compiled some of the best offers below. At the least, it will give you a small glimpse at what’s available. It’s not a stretch to say there are some incredible deals on offer here, which might be a tad unusual for March and Springtime, but it’s welcome nonetheless. These deals will be available from March 4 until April 1, with varying offers during that timeframe, and this is not a Fool’s joke.

Dell Inspiron 27 AIO desktop — $1,250, was $1,550

If you want to save space on your desk or sit your computer on a small counter, this all-in-one (AIO) has everything tucked neatly into the display. Inside is a 13th-Gen Intel Core i7 10-core and 12-thread processor, with 32GB of DDR4 RAM, an NVIDIA GeForce MX550 GPU with 2GB of GDDR6 VRAM, and a 1TB M.2 solid-state drive. The 27-inch full-HD display is vibrant and houses everything inside the frame, all resting atop a sleek triangle stand. It also comes with a mouse and keyboard, so everything you’d need to jump in and browse, watch media, engage, and compute right out of the box.

Dell G16 gaming laptop — $1,300, was $1,900

If gaming is your thing but you like to move around and don’t want to be beholden to a single playable area, this powerful laptop is just for you. Under the hood are a 13th-Gen Intel Core i9, 24-core and 32-thread processor, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPU with 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM. The GPU alone is impressive for any laptop and should allow you to play most modern games on medium to high settings. A 1TB M.2 solid-state drive offers plenty of storage space, even with today’s massively data-heavy games, and an RGB backlit keyboard keeps things interesting while you play. The 16-inch QHD+ 2560 by 1600, 240Hz NVIDIA G-SYNC-ready display is no slouch either. It’s time to get your game on.

Alienware Aurora R16 gaming desktop — $2,900, was $3,200

If you want to game with virtually no limitations, this is the way to do it.

Let’s start with the 14th-Gen Intel Core i9 24-core processor, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER with 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM. It will run just about everything on high to ultra settings. The 2TB M.2 solid-state drive, 1,000-watt Platinum-rated power supply, 240mm liquid cooling for the CPU, and clear side panel only add to the performance and aesthetics.

Dell XPS 14 laptop on its side

For great laptop deals, you can always count on Dell. All I'm going to say about this next deal is that it's so good, I want one. Today, it has a huge $550 off the Dell XPS 14, which is a consistently popular laptop for many good reasons. That means you pay $950 instead of $1,500, which is great for what it has to offer. One of the better Dell laptop deals around, this laptop is perfect for general use and also looks super stylish while you’re working in a nearby coffee shop. If that sounds appealing to you, it should. Keep reading and you can learn all about what the Dell XPS 14 has to offer.

Why you should buy the Dell XPS 14
As our Dell XPS 14 review explains, the laptop has a momentous design along with an excellent haptic trackpad and quiet yet cool performance. While it has limited ports and it's usually quite expensive, that’s less of an issue when there’s a $550 discount involved. This particular model has an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor, 16GB of memory, and 512GB of SSD storage. Those are all the essentials you could need, although a little part of us would prefer to see 1TB at this price range.
