Through Thursday, November 21, Best Buy has the Intel i7-powered Dell Inspiron 15 — with a respectable 16GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage for just $529, which is $220 off the normal price of $749.

We've been reviewing this popular 15-inch laptop for years. The 2024 version of the Inspiron 15 has a display big enough for streaming and comes with a few light tools for production, including one HDMI port, three USB Type-A ports, a headphone jack, a microphone input, and a front-facing camera.

It claims to have nine hours of battery life and a maximum brightness of 220 nits. It's the multi-tool of laptops, and at $529, a value for many users who aren't going to edit 4K video but need something to get work done on the go.

Research is a key part of any buying decision. Peruse some of our recent Dell laptop reviews here:

When reviewing the Dell G16 (7630), we called it a "master-class example of what a gaming laptop can do at a low cost, from its incredible performance to its gorgeous display." It really is the "greatest gaming laptop you can buy at the lowest price."

Our review of the Dell XPS 13 (9350, 2024) noted that it "gets solid performance and graphics from its Intel Core Ultra 7 258V processor, along with impressive battery life, impactful speakers, and a vivid Tandem OLED display option."

We examined the Dell XPS 13 9345 laptop with the Snapdragon X Elite chip and determined that it "offers strong performance and a stellar battery life packed into an ultralight design, but that great chassis comes with sacrifices."

Reviewing the Dell Inspiron 14 Plus 7441 with the Snapdragon X Plus chip, we found it "gets great performance and long battery life from the Snapdragon X Plus chipset, plus a few boons to its thermals and webcam."
