There’s no “best time” to purchase a new desktop computer, which means there are almost always compelling machines available at a discount. If the tower that’s currently on your desk is slow to open files, crunch numbers, save your edits, or keep more than a few browser tabs open, you’re not just losing time—you could be losing money as well.
A good desktop PC doesn’t have to be a clunky plastic tower anymore (though there are certainly plenty of those out there). A Mac mini or iMac are sleek alternatives to dusty towers, especially now they can run Windows. Like the iMac’s style but not the price? There are a variety of options for all-in-ones and mini-PCs.
For more savings, use the code SAVE10, which works on most Dell and Alienware laptops, desktops, and monitors over $799. On some models, you can upgrade the warranty so your total hits the $799 threshold to qualify for the discount. Exclusions apply, so add to cart and test out the code. But act fast: This coupon expires on May 26 at 4 p.m. ET.
