Why we love this deal
Not everyone in the market for a new computer needs one that can edit video or play Cyberpunk 2077. For everyday computing tasks, nothing beats a solid and affordable tower PC.
The $2,200 Dell Optiplex 7020 Desktop Computer is on sale for only $600, and it's without frills, but it's also without headaches. While it's not nearly as portable as a laptop, it more than makes up for it with dependable power that you can bank on for years.

Why shoppers love this deal
From the outside, the tower PC doesn't look like much, but it's hiding some seriously impressive specs. It's powered by an Intel Core i3 processor, with 32 gigabytes of DDR5 RAM and an entire terabyte of solid disk space. This means it's more than ready to be put through the wringer right out of the box. It would be more than suited for a home office, but could also be a communal family computer for surfing, research, and daily work. With all that hard drive space, it's ready to be used as a media server or as a dedicated spot for important photos and documents. You can upgrade the RAM and hard drive at will, so you can truly get your money's worth. It even comes with Windows 11 Pro preinstalled.

And while it doesn't come with a monitor, this PC does come with both a mouse and a keyboard.
