Dell is back at it again with some amazing discounts on dozens of laptops. Several of them are experiencing some huge sales, and we have some great options for you to pick up this Black Friday. We aren’t able to cover every single version of each laptop that is on sale, so if the ones covered here don’t have the exact CPU, GPU, or RAM configuration you need, check out the full list of PCs on sale at Dell’s Black Friday Sale page.
While we are mostly focusing on the sleek and market-leading XPS line of laptops here, Dell also has several of their Inspiron line of laptops on sale for some amazing prices. They have all the power on the inside, they just aren’t as aesthetically pleasing or as likely to cause head-turns from coworkers, as the XPS laptops will.
Being able to grab the Inspiron 16 Plus with 13th Gen Intel Core i7-13700H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, 16 GB DDR5 and a 1 TB SSD for $450 off at an amazing $1,199.99 is a great deal for those that would be ok missing out on the handsome XPS form factor.

Black Friday 2023: The best early dell laptop deals
When does Black Friday 2023 start?
Officially, Black Friday happens on Nov. 24, 2023, but that doesn’t mean retailers will wait to apply their discounts. It consistently falls on the last weekend of November, immediately following Thanksgiving, but the deals appear earlier every year, and the same is true this year.
Although some storefronts label their deals with tags like ‘early Black Friday,’ it’s not guaranteed that the price won’t drop again. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to say whether a hot item will drop further in price. Still, some third-party stores like Newegg offer a price drop guarantee that will reimburse you if you purchase within this early window.
We’ll check every deal to see if it’s a historically low price, but other savings will still be listed if they’re a genuinely great deal. Unfortunately, not every deal will put a product at an all-time low, but hardware that rarely sees discounts, like the Xbox Series X, will always be shared here.
When does Cyber Monday 2023 start?
Cyber Monday follows after the Black Friday weekend, landing on Nov. 27, 2023. It focuses on digital storefronts rather than physical stores, with discounts usually expiring as the Monday ends. Many products will often retain their Black Friday discount throughout Cyber Monday, though some will enjoy a further reduction or even a unique deal. We’ll share the best Cyber Monday deals with you as soon as retailers switch and publish their listings.
Choosing the best Dell laptop for you
The Dell XPS lineup of laptops is very similar to other popular brands of laptops, where the main difference between the models is mostly just the size. If you go with the XPS 13, XPS 15, or XPS 17 you will really only be choosing between the size of the screen. To be fair, the XPS 17 does have some more powerful configuration options due to its bigger size, but as far as the deals go for Black Friday, that isn’t a huge consideration.
Be aware that some of the XPS models now have a Plus version, which will offer the most powerful and current configuration models for each of the sizes. Dell also offers 2-in-1 variants that feature touch screens and have detachable keyboards to function in a tablet form factor. The Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 is also on sale for this early Black Friday deal.
Dell has the Inspiron line of laptops, which are enjoying some great markdowns right now as well. They are usually a lower spec than the XPS line and are targeted to a more general audience, while the XPS laptops are for power users, or those that want one of the best form factor laptops on the market in the XPS.
