This Dell Inspiron laptop with Intel Core 7 is a steal for only $600

Finding an everyday laptop that’s good enough to get you through your days without costing a fortune can be tough—unless you let us do the hard work for you. I just found this Dell Inspiron 14 laptop that’s perfect as a daily driver, and it’s extremely affordable right now with this sale: Dell is selling it for $599.99 via its online shop (was $899.99).

This isn’t some weak configuration either. You’re looking at a more-than-decent 2024-era Intel Core 7 150U processor with 10 cores, plus 16GB of speedy DDR5 RAM, plus a spacious 1TB SSD that’s plenty for all your apps, files, photos, and even videos. This config will comfortably run Windows 11 Home (which comes pre-installed) without choking or slowing to a crawl, making sure it doesn’t impact your productivity.

It’s relatively compact for a laptop, with a 14-inch IPS screen at a crisp 2.2K resolution (that’s 2240×1400), a reasonable weight of 3.44 pounds, and an okay thickness of 0.74 inches. You should be able to lug this around without breaking a sweat, and that display should be adequate (though not great) with 300 nits of brightness.

This laptop lacks a dedicated graphics card so don’t expect to game much on it. It’s also rather light on connectivity, with just two USB-A ports and a USB-C video port with power delivery, plus an HDMI 1.4 port (only goes up to 1080p@60Hz) and a 3.5mm headset jack.
