If you're in the market for a desktop PC capable of top performance, then the Dell XPS 8960 is now discounted by $450. Offering both business and gaming capabilities, it sports an Intel Core Ultra processor, an RTX 3050, 1TB SSD, 16GB RAM and is running Windows 11 out of the box. This is usually priced at $1,450, however, today's sale takes it down to the $1,000 mark.
Microsoft's own Surface range has plenty of price cuts, too, such as this 13-inch Microsoft Surface Pro 11 with its integrated Copilot Plus PC AI and Snapdragon X Elite graphics card for $1,300. That's a $200 reduction for the latest model.
