Why we love this deal

Buying a new computer can be stressful. It's a significant investment for most folks, and there's no shortage of brands and models to choose from nowadays. Never mind that there are laptops, tablets, mini PCs, oversized smartphones, and more to complicate things. Maybe you like a good old-fashioned tower-style desktop PC with enough power and software to suit your needs; maybe you don't want all the bells and whistles that come with a gaming PC, a laptop, or a hybrid tablet like the Microsoft Surface.

The good news is that retailers like Amazon still carry plenty of great desktop computers to choose from, and that includes trusted manufacturers like Dell, which understand what consumers need to get by in 2026. And right now, you can get the powerful $1,700 Dell Pro Tower Desktop PC with Windows 11 Pro for just $700. That's a savings of $1,000, or 59% off, and it's got everything most folks want in a PC.

Why do shoppers love it?

The Dell Pro Tower comes with a power supply and keyboard right out of the box, but you will need to find a compatible monitor and mouse you like. It's got HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB ports, so you'll have no trouble getting any modern screen or mouse to work well here. If you don't know where to start with finding a monitor in 2026, don't sweat it: any 16:9 screen with a resolution of 1,920 by 1,080 pixels will suit you just fine, and as long as the refresh rate is at least 60 Hz, it'll work great for streaming videos, shows, and movies online.

Being a new Windows machine, you'll have access to just about any piece of software you can imagine, outside of something that's exclusive to, say, the iPhone. You can get most Android apps and games to work on Windows with the Google Play app or an emulator like MuMuPlayer. The Pro Tower comes with Windows 11 Professional edition, a 14th Gen Intel Core i5-14500 vPro processor, an integrated graphics card, and 16 gigabytes (GB) of memory.

It's also equipped with a 1-terabyte (TB) solid-state drive, meaning you'll have enough storage for all your family photos, video clips, and any games you might decide to download. Just be sure you're not trying to play a more demanding 3D game that requires a dedicated graphics card; that would require an aftermarket upgrade, but most folks won't have to worry about that.

"I set it up today, and it works great," said one reviewer. "I'm not a gamer, but the price is right. It booted right up, and it's easy to get everything going. This was a great buy. I got rid of my laptop because the screen was too small, and it was having problems. All I have to do now is transfer my data."
