We're seeing plenty of great laptop deals, especially with school almost back in session. While Best Buy and Amazon are going to be some of the more popular places to shop, we think going direct to manufacturers isn't such a bad idea either. Dell's offering some massive discounts on some of its best laptops, and we think this Dell 15 is going to be one worth taking a look at.

It has everything you need, with sharp looks, good port selection, and impressive power. It's perfect for school, work, or just everyday use. What makes it even more alluring right now is that it's also seeing a $250 discount, which brings the price down substantially, coming in at $429. If you've been looking for a budget laptop that delivers, this is going to be the one.

What's great about the Dell 15?

We've featured the Dell 15 before in one of our previous deals, but that model wasn't nearly as powerful as this one, which features a Ryzen 7 processor that's paired with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage. In addition, you also get a 15-inch IPS screen, which provides plenty of space to get your work done, and is also great for entertainment as well, thanks to its 120Hz refresh rate.

You also get plenty of ports with the two USB-A, one USB-C, HDMI, SD card slot, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The laptop also features a 720p web camera, which is going to get you buy when you need to hop on a video call. Of course, if you want better quality, you're going to need to buy a better laptop or grab a webcam upgrade later down the line.

For the most part, we like what this laptop offers, especially at this price. You're getting a solid CPU and RAM pairing, and the storage should be more than enough for most people. Naturally, you can always play around with some of the specifications if you want, since this can be customized through the Dell website, which is a nice perk to have if you're spending your hard-earned money.

Perhaps the only real challenge when it comes to purchasing this laptop is navigating the website. You won't get a direct link with Dell, so you'll want to filter your purchase choices to laptops that have a 15-inch screen and are powered by a Ryzen processor. This will lead to this particular model that's on sale for $429.
