Dell’s marketing is busy cranking out deals for the upcoming Black Friday and Cyber Monday, perhaps inspired by the maker’s strong laptop reliability showing. So expect a constant stream of discounts and promos, starting today until November 30, 2009. American shoppers, take note of the following below, and their corresponding end dates! Discounts available during this period of the year are notoriously short-lived.

Laptop Deals From Dell

No matter what you think of Dell, their prices still represent the highest spec-for-buck ratio I’ve ever seen.

Studio XPS 13. Courtesy Dell.

For instance, the basic Studio XPS 13 laptop costs $999. Here’s what you get for that price:

A 2.0 GHz Processor (Intel P7350)
Vista Home Premium
A 13.3″ 1366 x 768 display, with an integrated 2.0 megapixel webcam
DVD/CD burner
3GB DDR3 RAM
250GB 7200 rpm hard disk
NVIDIA 9400M G
Support for Wireless N (802.11n)

That setup won’t be able to run more demanding games like the notorious Crysis, but it’s powerful enough for practically any other task. Shop for an XPS Studio 13.

Dell’s also upped the ante by discounting their offerings further, as part of the current Dell Days of Deals promo, running until this June 25 (5:55 AM CDT). To paraphrase some writer: “Dell’s discounts depend on the phase of the moon, astronomical alignments, and the direction of the wind.” Anyways, here are some laptop promos that seem interesting:

Just remember the lower price comes at a price though; Dell’s reputation for poor customer service is in vogue right now. Though this shouldn’t be too much of a problem for computer savvy owners. Hopefully.
