As someone who reviews laptops for a living, the Dell 15 Laptop has long been one of my favourites. It's the deal I always keep an eye out for, because for the price, it's perfect for students and business professionals. And finally, it's here with a £100 saving - the Dell 15 Laptop is now £379 (was £479) at Amazon.co.uk.

Despite the low price, it's packing some impressive specs for productivity tasks like running office software, browsing, and streaming. It's equipped with Intel Core i5-1334U processor, 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD.

I'd call this an absolute classic of the business laptop genre - it's perfectly specified for day-to-day use, with Windows 11 Home running on an i5-1334U chip, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD. For the price, I haven't seen a better UK Dell deal so far this year.

The Dell 15 Laptop is one of those laptops I always recommend for those who want a good deal for a general-use machine.

The i5-1334U processor boasts 10 cores, 12 threads, and up to 4.6GHz for fast, efficient performance, coupled with 16GB of memory. That makes it ideally specced for tackling everyday tasks like running the Microsoft Office suite, browsing the internet, and even light photo editing.

Storage space is a fair 512GB SSD. And the 15.6in screen is worth a shout-out here too. Yes, it's FHD (1920 x 1080), but it has a 120Hz refresh rate, which you don't often see even on some of the entries in my best business laptops guide, and certainly not at this price.

Usually, at this price, it's the far weaker i3 / 8GB models that get a discount - so this really is a deal worth checking out.

Rounding out the offering is a good port selection and connectivity. The Dell 15 Laptop comes equipped with USB 3.2 Type-A and Type-C ports, a USB 2.0 port, HDMI, 3.5mm audio jack, and microSD reader. It also features both Bluetooth and the faster Wi-Fi 6 connections.
