Amazon offers products from thousands of brands, so it shouldn’t be surprising that big names like Dell are jumping in on the pre-Prime Big Deal Days sales. Amazon’s next massive discount event begins on October 7, but you can already snag solid products at solid discounts. Here are three of top picks so far, with more on the way.

$349.97
at Amazon
$449.99
Save $100.02
Here’s a Windows laptop at a Chromebook price, a perfect pick for budget-minded students or office workers on the go. While the Inspiron 3535 won’t blow your doors off, it’s a very capable portable, and in our review we praised the common budget pitfalls it avoids, like shipping with full Windows 11 (not S Mode), a 120Hz display, and better-than average components like 8GB of RAM and a Ryzen 5 processor. Plenty of ports line the durable chassis, and integrated Radeon 610M graphics are sufficient for most tasks. Take 22% off at Amazon right now.

The best thing about a Dell desktop is that you know exactly what you’re getting: a rock-solid piece of hardware that doesn’t push any envelopes, but will get the job done. Case in point: this Tower Plus configuration, which you can snag for 19% off at Amazon in advance of Prime Big Deal Days. With a very capable Core Ultra 7 processor and a generous 32GB of RAM, this is a multitasking master that’ll let you knock out even the most complicated spreadsheets all day, while keeping dozens of browser tabs open at the same time. Plenty of ports both front and back, coupled with plenty of space for expansion internally, make it a solid pick. Check how it stacks up to our list of the best desktop PCs.

Dell Monitor Deals
Dell S2425HS 27″ FHD Monitor
27-inch FDH display, 100Hz refresh rate, integrated speakers
$129.99
at Amazon
$149.99
Save $20.00
Here’s a super-budget Dell monitor with an additional $20 price drop for your consideration. While the S2425HS doesn’t dominate with style, sometimes good enough is good enough, and for $130 it’s a great deal. The display even has a few unexpected perks, like a faster-than-normal 100Hz refresh rate, four-star TÜV Rheinland Eye Comfort certification, and a pair of built-in five-watt speakers. We haven’t had hands-on time with this particular model, but when you compare it to our list of the best budget monitors, it’s definitely in competition.
