Dell Memorial Day sale: key information

Here's everything you need to know about the Dell Memorial Day sale in 2023.

When will the Dell Memorial Day sale start?

We've not had any official information yet from Dell on when its Memorial Day sale will get underway. However, based on previous years, we can safely assume that it will start towards the end of May, most likely around a week or so before the actually holiday itself.

Sales events at Dell usually run for a week or two, so it's highly possible it will begin long before Memorial Day itself and then ramp up as the holiday weekend approaches. Keep checking in with us as we'll share all the latest news as we hear it.

What deals will be in the Dell Memorial Day sale?

As one of the biggest laptop manufacturers in the world, you can safely assume that the company's Inspiron and XPS devices will feature heavily in its Memorial Day sales. You can expect a range of laptops on offer, from budget-friendly options for everyday use to premium machines designed for more intensive workloads.

Gaming laptops and PCs from the Alienware range are bound to be a part of the sale, too. With graphics card prices still an issue for many, it could be a good opportunity to pick up one of the latest cards in a brand new battlestation for a fraction of the cost.

Dell monitors are also sought-after for their excellent gaming performance, ranking as some of the best gaming monitors you can buy today. This could be a good opportunity to grab a large, high-quality and responsive display for less.
