Narrowing Down Your Choices

If you're shopping for a PC, you have plenty of options to choose from, be it desktop-replacement systems to rugged notebooks, and a range of options in between. Sometimes the easiest thing to do is to narrow down your options based on what you know, and if you're familiar with Dell, you probably have some experience with how reliable the company's products are, how the customer service works, and the general quality of user experience those products and services deliver. It's a good way to whittle down your options while still helping you zero in on a great product. Picking a brand you trust does half the deciding for you.
Whether you're after a powerful laptop for crunching numbers at work, or a laptop for staying productive at home or on the go, there's a good chance that Dell has a model you've considered buying. When you skim through the many products we review at PCMag, you'll see that Editors' Choice logo popping up again and again, often alongside Dell systems.

Where Will You Use Your Laptop?

For use in home or school, Dell's Inspiron brand comprises consumer laptops of every stripe. Whether you're editing photos or managing your home finances, there are plenty of options available. If you want something a little less expensive for simple tasks and browsing online, consider Dell's Chromebooks, which put basic functionality into an affordable package that works great for kids and students.
If gaming is more your style, Dell's Alienware brand delivers. The latest components combine with premium construction and design, earning Alienware a well-deserved reputation among gamers.
Finally, there's business. Dell's Latitude brand has options for workers in the office or in the field, with a mix of thin yet powerful laptops and rugged systems that can take a beating. The Latitude line also carries rugged models that are designed to be used in extreme environments.
There are plenty of solid Dell systems to choose from, but don't be overwhelmed by the options. We've combed through our many reviews and singled out the best Dell systems in multiple categories.
