One of the perils of hunting for computer deals is that we tend to see the most sales on low- and high-end machines, leaving the more moderately configured options out of the equation. While you might find a high-end laptop discounted to around $1000 with a ton of top-of-the-line tech built into it, you may be getting more than you need and thus paying more as well.
On the opposite side of things, low-end machines may be ideal for someone on a tight budget, but can leave a lot to be desired for even a moderately advanced user. That is one of the reasons we find this deal on a Dell Inspiron 17R laptop especially hot.
17-inch laptops normally carry a price premium with them, but thanks to this sale you aren’t paying any premium and you get a lot of great tech to boot. This model is powered by an Ivy Bridge Core i7-3632QM processor, sporting four cores clocked at 2.2GHz (Turbo Boost will carry them to 3.2GHz).
Just in case you need some graphics horsepower too, this 17R comes with a 2GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M graphics card as well. All of this is backed up by 8GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive. The large 17.3-inch screen rounds out this feature-filled package with its HD+ 1600×900 resolution.
This is indeed a well configured machine, but we also like the 17R for its plethora of standard features. You get goodies like four USB 3.0 ports (including one that can charge your mobile device), HDMI output, VGA, 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth, ethernet, and an 8-in-1 media card reader. And of course you now get Windows 8 preloaded as well.
Dell adds even a little more value into this deal by including 15 months of McAfee Security Center protection, 90 days of premium phone support, and a one year on-site warranty at no extra cost. This is one of the lowest prices we have seen for a 17-inch Core i7 laptop with discrete graphics, coming in at just $749.99 with free shipping after $564 instant savings (reg price $1,313.99).
