It's the perfect buy for college students or anyone who just purchased a new notebook.
Whether you're looking for a desktop, laptop, or monitor, Dell has site-wide Labor Day deals that offer discounted prices on a broad range of products.
Budget gamers will want to check out the Dell G5 15, which is selling for $799.99 ($150 off). It features a 15.6-inch 1080p IPS LCD, 2.3GHz Core i5-8300H quad-core CPU, 8GB of RAM, 1TB HDD with 128GB SSD, and a GTX 1050 Ti graphics card.
Dell's top of the line XPS laptops are also on sale. Multiple configurations are $100 off and you can use coupon "50OFF699" to take an extra $50 off. For instance, after coupon you can get the XPS 13 9370 for $1,049.99. This configuration packs a 1.6GHz Core i5-8250U quad-core CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD.
If you already have a desktop and want to upgrade your dated monitor, you can get the Dell UltraSharp 27 InfinityEdge Monitor for $379.99. That's $220 off its regular price.
Dell also has multiple TVs on sale. For instance, you can get the LG 49-inch 4K Smart TV with a $100 GC for $399 or the Vizio 70-inch 4K Display with a $300 GC for $1,099.99. The display doesn't have a built-in TV tuner, so you'll need a cable/satellite box to receive programming (or a TV tuner with an antenna). Alternatively, you can cut the cord and rely on Chromecast — which is built into the TV — to stream programming.
Dell isn't the only manufacturer with deals for gamers. Lenovo is slashing the price of its gaming laptops by up to 30 percent. This includes models like the Legion Y520, which is currently priced at $899.99 via coupon code "DOORBUSTER22". That's $400 off.

The manufacturer is also taking up to $500 off select Yoga and ThinkPad laptops.
