The Dell Inspiron 15 is a portable and affordable laptop that's currently even cheaper after an $80 discount from Dell. From its original price of $330, you'll only have to pay $250 to get this machine delivered to your doorstep.

That number's rising by the moment, so you need to secure your unit before one of the most attractive laptop deals right now gets sold out.

Why you should buy the Dell Inspiron 15
The best laptops will let you run demanding processes and multitask between several apps, but if you just need a device for basic functions like typing reports, managing spreadsheets, and doing online research, then you should check out the Dell Inspiron 15. It's equipped with the Intel Pentium Silver N5030 processor, Intel UHD Graphics 605, and 4GB of RAM -- a far cry from the top-of-the-line models of the best laptop brands, but more than enough if you're only planning to use the laptop for simple tasks.

If you need a business-focused laptop, look no further than the laptop deals that Dell is currently offering. A huge sale is going on right now with some massive discounts out there. Dell business laptops are a little different from its regular range of consumer options with fewer multimedia features (if any) and designs that tend to look a few years older than others. On the other hand, you tend to get better support which is why they're great for businesses where downtime costs money. They all also run Windows 11 Pro rather than Home. Here's our pick of the huge Dell business sale right now.
Dell Vostro 3520 (Intel Core i3) -- $479, was $900

The Dell Vostro 3520 is great value for what it offers -- just what you would expect from one of the best laptop brands. It has a 12th-generation Intel Core i3 processor, 8GB of memory and 256GB of SSD storage. A 15.6-inch full HD screen looks great and offers an excellent refresh rate of 120Hz so it cuts down on motion blur while scrolling, plus there's 250 nits of brightness. You also gain a 720p HD webcam for taking video calls while stereo speakers ensure you can hear clearly.
