Today you can get a Snapdragon-based Inspiron 14 Plus with great battery life for over $400 off the retail price.

Snapdragon laptops are good, and I say that as someone who recently bought one. They’re great for basic tasks and long battery life, as long as you don’t need any big gaming power. But they’re also pricey — far more expensive than a basic laptop should be. Fortunately, you can get a new one from Dell today for $574.99, more than $400 off its original retail price.
Echoing my sentiments, PCWorld contributor Chris Hoffman said “wait for a sale” when he reviewed the Inspiron 14 Plus last year. (Hey, that’s this sale, right here!) He gave it high marks for its long battery life and solid keyboard, but wasn’t impressed with the basic build quality, especially for a four-figure price. This standard model comes with a nice 14-inch, 2560×1600 touchscreen, 16GB of RAM (the lowest I’d recommend for Windows), and 512GB of storage. That’s a significantly better package than you normally find in laptops anywhere near this cheap.
You also get an IR camera and fingerprint reader for super-fast logins, plus plenty of USB ports (two C, one A), though I’d have swapped out the MicroSD card slot for HDMI if I had my druthers. It’s light, but not incredibly so, at a hair over three pounds (1.4 kilos) and .67 inches (17 mm) thick.
Best Buy has marked this as a sale, but it doesn’t have an expiration date. If it’s not quite what you’re looking for, be sure to check out PCWorld’s roundup of the best laptops on the market.
