Whats a Desktop Deal:

There are many factors you need to take into account in order to make something a deal. Manufacturer, Product line, Specs and warranty are usually what to look at when figuring that out. You need to consider prices as well, sometimes you get a price so hot that it doesn't matter what company it is.

Generally speaking here are the guidelines for Intel processors:

i3 8th Gen processor - Under $300 is usually a hot deal, Under $350 is decent
i5 8th Gen Processor - Under $400 is a Usually a Hot Deal
i7 8th Gen Processor - Under $600 is a Usually Hot Deal

to be continued....

Just enrolled in the Dell Twitter deal.  Are there any good desktop deals with dual monitors and Windows Pro?  Basic specs would suffice.  Thanks!

Is this a better deal then the $349 that u posted from best buy? I purchased a 20 inch screen with that deal for $79 my total cost b4 tax was $409.
So is it worth $140 more?
The pros for me in the dell 3 year warranty, windows 7 pro.

I am looking for a deal on a dell that costs around 650 (so I can use the 650 in gift cards I bought on friday - thanks to dan) at Dell.

I either wants an i5 with a nice 27 inch monitor or an i7 with no monitor.  At least 8GB ram also.

You can use this coupon for $100 off. In-store only.

Can this be added to the Lenovo deal, making the total $325? Was thinking maybe through the kiosk, possible?
How hot is the Lenovo deal?
