Compare Dell Laptops

Dell renamed its laptops in 2025, and that’s the first thing to know when you shop. Home laptops that used to be Inspiron are now plain Dell and Dell Plus, the business Latitude range became Dell Pro, and XPS carries on as the premium line. You’ll see old and new names side by side here, because plenty of older models are still sold.

For a new home laptop, the standard Dell 15 models are simple everyday machines, fine for documents, browsing and streaming. Dell Plus is the step up, with newer Intel Core Ultra and AMD processors, more memory and better screens, and the Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 has a Mini-LED screen that folds back into a tablet. The XPS 14 is the one to look at if you want a thin, premium Windows laptop with an OLED screen. Business buyers get Dell Pro, which comes with Windows 11 Pro.

Many of the Dell laptops we list are renewed Latitudes, ex-office machines from 2018 to 2022. They’re an affordable way to get a sturdy laptop with a good keyboard and plenty of ports, and they suit office work, study and browsing. The oldest use 8th-generation Intel chips, which run Windows 11 but feel slow with lots open at once, so aim for a Latitude 5420, 7420 or 5430 if you want one that stays usable for longer. Expect a used battery on any of them, and see our renewed laptops page for other brands.

The Dell Chromebook 3100 models here are older 4 GB school laptops, sold renewed. They’re fine for browsing and Google Docs, and little more. Dell’s gaming laptops live on our Alienware page.
