Where to get the best price on a Dell Inspiron 15 7000

Best answer: You can get great deals at retailers like Amazon, but going direct with Dell doesn't cost much more and you get to customize the laptop to your liking.Dell: Dell Inspiron 15 7000 ($833)

Make the Inspiron yours with Dell

Purchasing through Dell doesn't mean you'll be enjoying the best discounts available, but there are reasons why we'd recommend it over other retailers. Not only are you spoiled by all the choices for configuring the Inspiron 15 7000 with better processors, faster RAM, and other features, you're also able to take advantage of Dell's financing options.

It's also a mistake to assume Dell doesn't do deals itself. The company regularly publishes promotions and deals on its official storefront, allowing you to bag a discounted notebook. Even packing inside an Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, as well as 512GB M.2 storage, and NVIDIA MX150 dedicated GPU only brings the price up to $1,176.

It sounds a lot, but it isn't bad value for the performance you're getting.

Go Amazon for less choice

Amazon has a few Dell Inspiron 15 7000s listed, though there aren't any for the newest 7580 model. Even if you find a listing with a more attractive price, you'll be locked into what that configuration offers. There's no option to switch out components or make changes ahead of purchase. In certain cities, you do get the option of Amazon Prime Now, which can mean same-day delivery. Plus, with Amazon Prime, you get the option of free 2-day shipping. If speed is something you absolutely need, Amazon isn't a bad choice.

However, in order to have the best choice for your next Dell notebook purchase, you'll want to go direct.
