If you've got your eye on a new Windows laptop, then it's a great time to check out one of our favorite Dell models as the official Dell Store, and many other retailers, have already launched huge Black Friday sales this week.

Even better still, the Black Friday deals on Dell laptops range all the way from super-cheap options under $300 all the way to super high-end Alienware gaming laptops. In short, there are decent deals pretty much across the board today and I've rounded up my top choices just below.

Two highlights include the Dell 14 Plus for $749 (was $1,099) and the Dell XPS 13 for $949 (was $1,299); both models are included in our best laptops of 2025 buyer's guide. While a little pricey, you really can't go wrong with either of these choices if you're looking for a machine to last a few good years.

If you are on a budget, however, then absolutely check out the Dell 15 laptop for $299 (was $449) and the Dell Inspiron 14 for $399 (was $799) at Best Buy. While not high-end machines by any stretch, you'll really struggle to beat these in terms of bang for the buck if you need a cheaper Windows 11 machine.

While you're here, don't forget to check out our main Black Friday laptop deals page for more recommendations on other brands. You can also see our Black Friday landing page for an overview of today's stories from our team of experts.
