Dell's 'Top Tech Event' features price cuts of up to $500 on our favorite laptops — here are 5 options from just $499
In fact, discounts of up to $500 are available right now, should you be on the lookout for a new machine.I've been busy scanning through the retailer's store pages today, and I've spotted five machines that I think are particularly good value. While there are a lot of laptops on sale today, these are the ones that I'd buy with my own cash personally.First up is the Dell 15 Laptop for $499 (was $699) - an obvious choice if you need something for just the basics. The Core 3 chipset and 8GB of RAM will be good for browser-based tasks, and the 512GB SSD has a decent amount of space, too.
