May isn’t traditionally known for its laptop deals but the official Dell Store has some absolutely awesome choices right nowacross its entire range of machines.

For example, not only are there great cheap Windows machinesstarting at just $299, but you can also pick up a Dell XPS 13for just $599. That’s the cheapest price we’ve ever seen for this premium Ultrabook - although it is on the relatively basic Core i5 configuration with a 256GB SSD.

If you want something more powerful, consider this compellingly priced mid-range Dell XPS 13for $799 (was $999). This one features a much bigger 512GB SSD storage drive, 16GB of RAM, and a Core i7 chipset. That means it should speed through all but the most intensive of tasks.

Finally, we’d recommend Dell’s excellent range of gaming laptop deals today, which include this Dell G15 with an RTX 4060for just $849, this Dell G16 with an RTX 4070for $1,299, and this high-end Alienware x14for $1,499.
