The Dell 15″ Laptop with Core i7, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD is on sale for $699.99, which is $270 off the regular price. If you have been putting off a laptop upgrade, this is the type of deal that makes it easier to just go for it. You get a recent 13th Gen Intel Core i7-1355U processor with 10 cores and speeds up to 5.0 GHz, so you can run a lot of tabs, office apps, and light photo work without the system dragging. With 16GB of DDR4 memory, you can keep work, streaming, and chat apps open at the same time without feeling like you need to restart every few hours. For day to day use, this combo of CPU and RAM is more than enough for school, work from home, and general home use.
Storage is another strong point here. The 1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD gives you a lot of space for files, photos, videos, and games, and it should feel fast when you boot up, launch apps, or move large folders. You will not be fighting for space right away like you would with a 256GB or 512GB drive. The 15.6″ Full HD display runs at 120Hz, which is nice if you like smoother motion when you scroll or watch fast videos. The panel has IPS and WVA tech and an anti-glare finish, so it is more friendly for long use under office lights or near a window. It is rated at 250 nits, which is fine for indoor use. Intel UHD Graphics will handle streaming, web, and office work with no trouble, and can manage light gaming on lower settings.
The rest of the package is set up for normal daily use without you needing to add a bunch of extras. You get Windows 11 Home preinstalled, a backlit US English keyboard, and a precision touchpad, which helps if you often type in the dark or on the couch. The chassis comes in Platinum Silver aluminum, which gives it a cleaner look and a more solid feel than basic plastic. With the aluminum option, you also get the better 1080p camera with dual-array microphones, which is nice for work calls or online classes. The laptop weighs a little over 4 pounds, which is fine to carry between rooms, to the office, or to campus. Wi‑Fi 6 with Bluetooth support is built in, so you are set for fast wireless and easy pairing with headphones or a mouse.
You also get a decent set of ports, so you do not need to live on dongles. There are multiple USB-A ports, two USB-C ports (including one with DisplayPort 1.4 and power delivery on the aluminum chassis), HDMI 1.4, a universal audio jack, an SD card slot, and a power jack. That means you can plug in a monitor, mouse, keyboard, external drive, and headphones with room to spare. A 4-cell 54WHr battery and 65W charger come in the box, which is fine for mixed use through a good part of the day. There is a fingerprint reader on the palmrest, so you can log in faster without typing a password every time. You also get 30-day trials of Microsoft 365 and McAfee+ Premium along with 12 months of basic onsite hardware support after remote diagnosis. If you want a balanced 15″ laptop that can handle work, school, and home use with a lot of storage and strong specs, this sale price of $699.99 for a Core i7 with 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD is hard to argue with.
