Dell has rolled out Prime Day 2020 discounts across a range of its laptops to compete with Best Buy’s Prime Day Sale. Whether you’re looking for a portable two-in-one computer or a gaming machine, chances are you can save a ton in Dell’s sale. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the number of products, though, and that’s why we’ve compiled here the seven best offers from Dell’s Prime Day 2020 lineup.

The Dell XPS 13 is one of the best ultrabooks on the market and it’s down to its lowest price ever in Dell’s Prime Day 2020 sale. The Dell XPS 13 is available for $730 on Dell’s website, $120 less than its usual $850 price tag.

The Dell XPS 13’s biggest highlight is its nearly borderless 13-inch 1080p screen. The absence of those bezels has allowed Dell to fit the XPS 13 in a compact 11-inch form factor. Despite the portable design, the XPS 13 has plenty of brawn thanks to the Intel 10th-Gen Core i5 chip, 128GB SSD storage which can be expanded via a MicroSD card, and 4GB of RAM. There’s also a fingerprint reader and a backlit keyboard.

Alienware Aurora R9 Gaming Desktop

– $900, was $1,200

Another perk of the Alienware m17 R2 is the RGB keyboard that lets you personalize each key’s backlighting. You can grab it at a $680 discount after applying the coupon code, DBAWAP4 at checkout.

Prime Day is almost over — shop these deals while you still can

There are only a few more hours left till the end of Prime Day 2020. Time is running out to shop the best deals of the year and this might be your last chance to get the best tech products at such low prices. With every second that ticks by, more deals end, and more products run out of stock. The time to shop is now. Jump on these Prime Day 2020 deals now or risk having to wait a whole year to see discounts like these again.

If you're a shopper holding out hope for better deals come Black Friday we're here to tell you that it's not a good idea. Black Friday season begins in November -- only a month after Prime Day -- and big tech retailers like Amazon might not have time to restock all the must-have products that run out of stock during Prime Day. This means there will be fewer deals stacked up against high demand. You'll have to compete against thousands of shoppers just to pick up one smart home device or iPhone accessory. Shipping delays will also be more common so any item you buy might not make it in time for Christmas.
