It’s not even November yet, but Dell has already launched a huge early holiday sale, offering what are essentially Black Friday laptop deals in all but name.

I’ve been combing through the entire sale to find my favorite deals, and I’ve found excellent choices for both the US and UK that you can check out just below. Regardless of whether you’re looking for a super-cheap Windows 11 machine or a high-end gaming laptop, today’s sale at the official retailer offers record-low prices.

In the US, highlights include superb bang-for-your-buck options starting at $329, $400 price cuts on Alienware gaming laptops, and the lowest prices of the year on high-end XPS 13 machines. Right now, I’d say the quality of these deals easily exceeds Amazon or even Best Buy – depending on what you’re looking for, of course.

Over in the UK, the discounts are almost as deep. You can get a great basic Windows 11 machine for £350, a massive £350 price cut on a Dell XPS 13, or the excellent Dell 14 Plus for £649 (was £1,099). The 14 Plus is a particularly good buy because it’s one of the best mid-range laptops we’ve reviewed in recent years here at TechRadar.

Read more about these deals, and others, in-depth just below, and don’t forget to check in regularly at TechRadar over the next month as we head into the end-of-year sales period.
