Time to upgrade to Windows 11? Dell already has early Black Friday deals on our favorite models

Several retailers are offering great discounts on Windows 11 machines right now, but the ‘early holiday sale’ at the official Dell Store is a highlight if you’re looking for that perfect upgrade.

The retailer’s current batch of laptop offers are Black Friday deals in all but name and include some record-low prices on laptops that we personally recommend here at TechRadar.

For example, if you just want a solid, honest, and reliable laptop for work or casual use, then look no further than the Dell 16 Pro Plus for $499 (was $1,309) or this Dell 14 Plus for $649 (was $1,099). These are the new mid-range laptops from Dell and carry impressive specs for the money. Our Dell 14 Plus review highlights just how solid we thought this device was, with an emphasis on the laptop’s winning combination of design, performance, and value.

If you’re on a tighter budget, then you could consider this Dell 15 laptop for $399 (was $549). There are cheaper machines on the market, but I’d personally recommend stretching a little further for it, as nothing can match its Core i5 chipset and 16GB RAM at this price range. As a cheaper machine, don’t expect anything too fancy, but it will get you started on Windows 11 without forking out too much cash.
