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

Honestly very few great deals right now on desktops, the hp I posted is pretty good. Dell has almost nothing good right now.

Correct. (The old one doesn't,  but I would assume most churners here have the new IB  :) )

a "good" deal on desktop (Lenovo H430 Desktop): $275+$200 (Screen, keyboard, mouse, speakers)= around $475 
2nd generation- Intel® Core™ i3 2130 3.4GHz 3MB Cache Processor
4GB DDR3 1333 MHz Memory
1TB SATA Hard Drive

laptop deal that ran concurrent with desktop deal (Lenovo IdeaPad U510): $475
3rd generation Intel® Core™ i5-3317U processor;
6GB DDR3 1600Mhz Memory
750GB 5400RPM Hard Drive plus 24GB Solid State Drive

This obviously is not an ideal comparison but...

If you're figuring good deals then a screen shouldn't be more than $99. So desktop is about $100 cheaper

  but the specs on the laptop are better, and there were better deals on laptops none on desktops...

but any good deal on $99 screen?

Desktops have faster components, more upgrade-ability options and generally last longer
