Massive Dell 4th of July sale — 11 deals you won't see on Prime Day
July is turning out to be a major month for deals. On one hand, you have 4th of July sales, which will likely last through the holiday weekend. Then, there are hundreds of early Prime Day deals you can shop right now. Add to the mix the Dell Black Friday in July sales event. I'm normally skeptical of "Black Friday in July" sales, but with back to school season in full swing, Dell's sale has a lot to offer. For example, right now Dell laptops are on sale from $279. Meanwhile, if you need a new display, Dell monitors are on sale from $124. Although this latter price is slightly higher than what I saw during Memorial Day, this week's sale has more options to choose from. My favorite deal of the moment is the XPS 14 laptop on sale for $1,699 at Dell. While it's substantially higher than previous XPS deals, this is a laptop you won't have to replace for a long time. It includes a Core Ultra 7 155H CPU, 32GB of RAM, 1TB SSD, and an RTX 4050 GPU. If you need a new monitor, check out the Alienware 27-inch QD-OLED 4K Gaming Monitor on sale for $619. That's $280 off its regular price. Below I've rounded up all of my favorite Dell Black Friday in July sales happening now. For more deals, check out our Dell promo codes coverage. Save on the Inspiron 16 Plus, decked out with Intel's powerful Core Ultra 7 256VH CPU, integrated Intel Arc graphics, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of SSD storage. This laptop is especially a great pick for students, as it's relatively affordable and well-equipped to last for years. Plus, after your work is done for the day, you can stream your favorite shows on its 16-inch 2.5K (2560 x 1600) display. This laptop is an awesome pick for anyone looking for a mainstream machine that packs a strong punch. It's equipped with an Intel Core 7 150U CPU, 16GB of RAM, 1TB of SSD storage, and a 16-inch FHD+ (1920 x 1200) display. Save big on this ultra-powered laptop, which packs improved battery efficiency and top-tier AI processing. In addition to its Core Ultra 7 CPU, this XPS 14 configuration is also equipped with 32GB of RAM, 1TB of SSD storage, and an RTX 4050 GPU. You also get a 2K 14.5-inch 120Hz display. The Alienware 16 Area 51 Laptop is a new 2025 machine powered by Nvidia's new RTX 5060 GPU. This configuration also features an amazing 16-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600) 240Hz LCD, Core Ultra 7-255HX CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. Yes, it's pricey, but this is one of the first discounts we've seen on Alienware's just-released laptops. This budget-friendly Dell Tower PC is a great addition to your desktop. It sports an Intel Core Ultra 5-225 processor with 8GB RAM and a 512GB SSD. It also sports a sleek new look with plenty of ports on board. Dell's mainstream all-in-one just got an impressive price cut. It packs a Core i3 CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. The screen is also sizable at 23.8 inches with a 1080p resolution. One of the best gaming PCs we've reviewed just got a massive discount during Dell's sale. The new Alienware Aurora R16 packs a Core Ultra 9 CPU, 32GB of RAM, 2TB SSD and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti GPU. In our Alienware Aurora R16 review, we said the Editor's Choice rig is a gaming powerhouse with powerful components and enhanced cooling technology. If you're looking for a nice computer monitor that won't break the bank, this 27-inch display from Dell is the perfect choice. Even at its full $219 price, it's a good deal, but with this discount, it's definitely worth buying. It has a QHD resolution, a height-adjustable design and a 100Hz refresh rate. It's a modest discount, but the Alienware AW2524HF is a solid monitor if you're short on cash. You get a 25-inch 1080p screen with 360Hz refresh rate, 1m response time, and HDMI/DisplayPort connectivity. AMD FreeSync Premium support also means tear-free and stutter free gameplay. This Alienware OLED will look great in any setup. Thanks to its quantum dot technology, this display gets brighter than traditional OLED panels. With support for AMD FreeSync premium, impeccable screen uniformity and that stunning 2560 x 1440 display, this is simply an incredible gaming monitor. This well-designed 32-inch 4K display from Alienware is one of the best curved monitors on the market for folks seeking a high-speed gaming display. It offers a 240Hz refresh rate, which not only outpaces its bigger sibling, the Alienware 34 QD-OLED, but makes this the fastest 4K QD-OLED curved gaming monitor Dell currently sells.

Nvidia RTX 5050 Rumored to Have 8GB of 20Gbps GDDR6 Memory
Nvidia's rumored RTX 5050 has a new rumored spec to add to the pile: It's getting 8GB of GDDR6 memory, rather than the GDDR7 of its siblings in the Blackwell generation of Nvidia GPUs. This does put it in line with AMD's RX 9000 cards, but will negate one advantage that the 50-series had over the competition, leaving it with a memory bandwidth that barely eclipses the previous generation. Alongside problems with pricing and availability and long-running driver issues, one of the most standout features of the RTX 50 generation of GPUs was its introduction of GDDR7 memory at up to 30 Gbps. It's the first generation of graphics cards to use it, and it offers a big uptick in bandwidth over previous generation GDDR6 and GDDR6X designs. That doesn't look likely to be the case with the RTX 5050, however, which is alleged to have GDDR6 memory running at a mere 20 Gbps. This latest rumor comes from Twitter leaker MegaSizeGPU (via VideoCardz); they claim that the card will use the slower memory design, with only 8GB in total. It will also feature a 3+2 phase VRM design, we're told, with two phases allocated to the memory. That might suggest it can overclock well, but there are no guarantees on a budget card like this. The RTX 5050 first started showing up in retail listings for leaner gaming laptop designs, as previous generations of this tier of GPU have. The RTX 4050 and 3050 were mobile exclusives, but the RTX 5050 looks set to hit desktops too, if the rumors are to be believed. While Nvidia hasn't announced the card yet, the strong consumer reaction to AMD's RX 9000 series cards and their more affordable pricing may be pushing Nvidia to compete with a wider array of GPU options at the entry-level end of the market. The rumored specs for the RTX 5050 now give it 2,560 CUDA cores, using the GB207 GPU—a cut-down version of the GB206 chip used in the RTX 5060 Ti and 5060. There's 8GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 128-bit memory bus, giving it a total of 320 GBps of memory bandwidth. That's more than the RTX 4060, but only by around 20%. Its alleged 130W TDP would make it the most power-efficient GPU of its generation, though, which could make it a good fit for small form factor systems or work machines where you just want to be able to play some esports games in your downtime. Nvidia hasn't made any kind of official announcement of the RTX 5050 yet, despite several recent opportunities at shows to do so. The rumors point to a July release, though, so watch this space if you're keen to learn more. Looking for a new GPU right now? Here are the best deals we could find.

Is an RTX 4050 gaming laptop still good enough? I put this Acer Nitro V 14 to the test
I'll set this straight: gaming on a budget is getting pretty darn good. I'm all for a cheap gaming laptop that can push out more than acceptable performance at a wallet-friendly price, even if its specs are a little late to the party. But just because we're seeing RTX 5090-equipped rigs powering through graphically demanding PC games without batting an eye doesn't mean we have to give in to their soaring prices, with some coming close to $7,000 (looking at you, MSI Titan 18 HX). In this past year, I've seen an RTX 4070-powered laptop drop to just $1,000 (never miss a big sale event), seen how a *hopefully* $1,099 RTX 5060 gaming laptop handles games with DLSS 4, and now the $449 Nintendo Switch 2 bring even more high-end gaming to handhelds. Heck, I've even tried gaming on a Chromebook, and it's far from terrible now. However, in a world where Nvidia RTX 50-series and AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT GPUs are taking over, how does a laptop like the Acer Nitro V 14 with an RTX 4050 fit in? Well, it landed on my desk, so I gave it a test drive. And to cut to the chase, this Nitro V 14 can hold its own when it comes to many of the latest PC titles, even playing games like Cyberpunk 2077 at high frame rates (close to 100 FPS) thanks to Nvidia DLSS. It's a solid option for entry-level gaming. That is, if you can find one. This specific model of the Acer Nitro V 14 in a tasteful Pearl White isn't easy to find in the U.S. or the U.K. Outside the Acer store, where it will set you back $1,099 / £1,299, I did finally find a couple at retailers, though. This all-white Acer Nitro V 14 sports an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS CPU, RTX 4050 GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 512GB SSD. It's far from the latest or most powerful specs, but now that it's down to $899, it makes for a fine first gaming laptop for those on a budget It's not in Pearl White, but this is the closest I could find an Acer Nitro V 14 with similar specs in the U.K. (that isn't on the Acer store). It comes with a £200 discount and comes with an AMD Ryzen 5 8645HS CPU instead. So, can the lowest-end, last-gen RTX 40-series GPU in a laptop still pump out acceptable frame rates that gamers would be happy with? Not if you've played on high-end gear and can never looked back, no. But for first-time buyers or casual gamers on a budget, there's something to like here. Acer Nitro V 14 Price From $1,099/£1,299 Display 14.5-inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200) , 120Hz CPU AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS GPU Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 Memory 16GB DDR5 Storage 1TB Ports 2x USB-A 3.2 Gen 1, 1x USB-C 4 Gen 1, 1x HDMI, 3.5mm audio jack Connectivity Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3 Dimensions 12.9 x 9.2 x 0.8 inches Weight 3.7 pounds Put simply: of course it can! Even with its 6GB of GDDR6 VRAM (video memory), the RTX 4050 in the Acer Nitro V 14 can deliver smooth 1080p gameplay and medium to high settings, depending on the games you're expecting to play. For example, I put on one of my recent favorites, Hades 2 — a roguelike action RPG that doesn't require heavily demanding specs. Even at 1200p with High settings, I had a blast conjuring spells and slicing down foes (and getting my behind handed to me by Prometheus) at over 100 FPS without any dips. And it all looked gorgeous. For something a tad more demanding, I also played South of Midnight, a whimsically dark single-player adventure in the Deep South with stunning graphics. Here, I had settings on High and quality set to Ultra Performance, and while there were a few dips in combat, I was still getting over 60 FPS generally. The minor stutters weren't enough to stop me from getting immersed in its haunting world. For those less demanding yet creatively brilliant PC titles that are fine-tuned to work well on many machines, the Nitro V 14 with its RTX 4050 offers more than enough to create a smooth, engaging gaming experience. If those titles are generally your cup o' tea, like Celeste, Inscryption, Dredge and, of course, multiple titles like Fortnite or Counter-Strike 2, then a budget system like this will suit your fancy. When bringing Nvidia's DLSS into the fold, though, supported games can shine far better. We've seen how AAA games perform on an HP Victus 15, boasting similar specs, and sure enough, the Nitro V 14 offers similar capabilities. Next, I threw on Cyberpunk 2077. With settings set to high and DLSS turned on at 1080p, I was seeing close to 100 FPS, and sometimes over that. That alone is fantastic, and it's clear the Nitro V 14 has enough gears turning under the hood to make it work. Without DLSS, though, this comes crashing down to just below 20 FPS. That ain't playable. That was with ray tracing switched on, but turning it off meant I was reaching just under 60 FPS. That's fine, but let's compare that to some of the latest offerings we've seen. Cyberpunk (1080p High/Ray Tracing Psycho settings) Acer Nitro V 15 (RTX 4050) 19 FPS MSI Stealth A16 (RTX 5060) 33 FPS Wait, so even an RTX 5060 gaming laptop can't reach a standard 60 FPS? Not with those settings, and not without DLSS 4. With x4 multi-frame gen on its side, an RTX 5060-equipped rig can get up to 150 FPS with ease, and that's without any big dips when in combat. A tad unfair comparing it to a next-gen RTX 5060 (better if there was an RTX 5050 to compete with it...). Still, it's better than the Acer Nitro V 15 with an RTX 3050 I tested, and even that could manage some strong PC titles. Is the Acer Nitro V 14 the best budget gaming laptop? No, as that title still belongs to the MSI Cyborg 15 with an RTX 4050 (it's cheaper and more readily available). Stretch the budget a bit further, and the Asus TUF Gaming A14 with an RTX 4060 is a solid bet. But that doesn't take away from what an RTX 4050 gaming laptop can do. If you're fine getting some aid from Nvidia DLSS to crank up frame rates, you'll find competitive multiplayer titles like Fortnite or Marvel Rivals reaching a smooth 120 FPS at High settings and demanding games such as Cyberpunk 2077 getting triple figures. Without DLSS, expect those frame rates to drop hard. You may still get an average of 60 FPS in titles at medium to high settings, which isn't unplayable, but that brings into question what you can get for similar pricing now. At a discount, the Acer Nitro V 14 isn't a bad shout, especially with its sharp, compact design, brilliantly bright 14.5-inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200) display with a 120Hz refresh rate and solid gaming performance for the price. But for a more modern, future-proofed system with budget in mind, there are options around right now. Just like these two below. This Lenovo LOQ 15 sports the latest RTX 5060 GPU with a frame that can handle the heat. You'll also find an Intel Core i7-13650HX, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. It's budget-friendly, so don't expect a premium construction or display, but expect great performance for the price. One of our favorite gaming laptops for value, now with an RTX 5060. This model sports an AMD Ryzen 9 270, 32GB DDR5 RAM and 1 TB SSD, and its 15-inch FHD+ (1920 x 1200) display comes with a 144Hz refresh rate.
