FAQ

Are Dell's PCs worth the money?

Dell is one of the biggest laptop builders in the world, and it has a huge range of products. The more you pay, the better the laptop, but even the budget stuff is quite good and is built to last.

With so many great deals on PCs during Black Friday, Dell's lineup is looking a lot more tempting than usual.

How much RAM do I need in my PC in 2025?

Although you can certainly get by with 8GB of RAM in Windows 11, bumping it up to 16GB of recommended for a smoother experience. This is especially true to gaming laptops, and I'd go so far as to suggest you consider 32GB for future proofing.

Are these Black Friday deals at Dell actually worth considering?

Dell has hundreds of Black Friday sales on the go, and many of them aren't really worth mentioning. That's why I've handpicked only the deepest discounts on what I consider to be the best hardware.

When is Black Friday 2025?

Black Friday technically lands on November 28, 2025, but the deals are no longer contained to just one day. Retailers went live with Black Friday discounts weeks ago, saving some of the best discounts for right now.
