Dell Laptop Deals & Offers

It doesn't. Whether or not the cooling is good enough for this chip is the purview of the laptop manufacturer. Not the chip supplier. So Ryzen doesn't run hot. It sticks to its (perfectly normal) TDP. A given model of laptop is with this chip may run hot because the cooling design isn't good enough. I am not aware that the cooling on this model is insufficient without further research. I doubt there are problems though, most manufacturers pushing the limits of case size are the ones that could have problems. This model isn't doing that

AMD laptops have always been toasters, I remember the turion and phenom laptops I have that both got so hot the casing cracked over time despite majority desk use. The laptop rest I had used once got melted underneath

Ryzen mobile runs hot however. Many reports overheating, especially with the CPU + iGPU combo when gaming.

Pretty nice. Ryzen 2500U is a quad core eight thread chip, only slightly inferior to a comparable intel CPU like the i5- 8250U. The standout with that chip though is the graphics performance. It's not quite capable of mainstream gaming, but it's vastly superior to the integrated graphics on Intel's current 8th gen like the aforementioned 8250U. It'll run modern games with low system demands, and most games more than 4-5 years old very nicely. Comes with an SSD and 8GB of RAM, the RAM is probably single channel. To get the most out the graphics you would need to add another 8GB and make it dual channel. You don't NEED it though if you won't run any games and it's still a nice deal for £430.

I thought the performance gap was higher but after checking some benchmarks it's not it worth me changing just for a better cpu.

both have very similar performance, there is zero point to swap if you have gtx 1070 laptop already. regarding this model, with 180w power supply this laptop will power throttle like there is no tomorrow

why go from 1070 to 2060? isn't the 1070 faster? Does anything take advantage of the new tech in the 20xx series yet? Personally I wouldn't be happy losing perofrmance

The RTX 2060 in this model is the non Max-q varient (I think all 2060s are like this). Also there will be a SKU with 144hz screen coming soon. It may be worth waiting for that one. Also the all metal G7 15 will be out in the near future too. Better cooling and build on that. Personally I would sacrifice the 2.5 inch drive and go for the 90 Whr battery in either G5 or G7

I was looking at GL504GS aswell but at that time it was bit expensive. That's definitely a decent price. Apart from weak battery life, its a nice laptop Full review: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-ROG-Strix-GL504-Scar-II-i7-8750H-GTX-1070-FHD-Laptop-Review.322858.0.html

Story of my life...thanks for the reply

It's sold. They've a 7th gen i7 for similar price.

Is it still in stock??? Says image coming soon...nothing else

Link is fine, however, the issue was link not taking to product. But the link has been provided by Deeky. So that's sorted. But maybe you could put that on the 'get deal', will save others scrolling through comments. 8)

Thank you!

Unfortunately have to agree here. Also sending mine back. Wasn't offered any money though! I had an issue with the screen which was fixed at my home by an engineer next day, however it wasn't before he broke the mousepad and didn't put the thing back together properly! Found the speakers to be too quiet for my needs and I can't get over the ghosting on the screen. Will probably wait for the new Matebook X Pro.

Returning mine. Screen flickers and fan is constantly on. Audio output control is horrendous too. Funny thing, when I phoned to return it they offered £150 off if I keep it. It was still within 14 days cool off period. Someone might try this trick to get some money off. Now I've got MacBook pro 13. No issues what so ever. Xps is a nice machine but flawed.

I think having done that first it might have worked but they now have all the service tag details and faults reported. Also I do not agree having to pay anything at all for this fault to be fixed as I know 100% it is inherent in the board and wasn't my fault.

FHD lets it down

Having used dell for years thisay benof use to someone. Few years back, my alienware was just out of warranty by a few weeks and died completely. I got in touch with their warranty dept requesting an extension to what was an expired warranty. They were at the time doing a 30% promotion so it was about £200 for a new 2 year on site warranty. They asked if there was anything wrong with the laptop to which I told them no, even tho there was. Warranty was then extended and a few days later phoned tech dept and engineer sent out following day with new gpu, motherboard and daughter board which sorted it. This is the best method if you're just out of warranty as cost of a new warranty will likely be less than the cost of repairing it yourself. Hope it helps.

ah yes that's another thing. Nightmare to upgrade RAM and it's been like that for a while now.

Nice thing about dell laptops is they all tend to have the same power supplies these days. Seem to have a habit of using TN panels though.

good deal

I bought a dell xps 13 9630 last year. 4 days after its warranty expired the motherboard died. I'm never touching another dell product again as their customer service is terrible. I do not know anything about MCS but if they offer any sort of extended warranty it might be worth taking.

Possibly a TN display with washed out colours, limited viewing angles. You should really look for an IPS display, if screen quality is important to you. ie, photo editing.

Sold out now, I was just about to pay for it as well.

Your link is dead too OP

Does someone that's not clueless might commenting and explaining on the specs of these a bit? I'm in the market for a decent work/dev laptop for £300-500.

Do you have a link please?

what is the warranty on them please?

Any codes for touchscreen?

Thanks, ordered a scratch and dent one

Amazing price support vr

Can student discount be used as well with this code?

Latitude mainly and various model numbers.

My personal and work experience (30+ years) of Dell is they are mostly rock solid. Not always going to set the world on fire but just seem to keep going.

not helpful without mention of specs. all manufacturers make laptops both fast and slow, some cheap and some expensive. this laptop is a beast at a good price.

Which line? All Dell models have minor issues here or there, but overall bearable.

My experience of using several Dell laptops with work means that I wouldn't spend any of my personal money on them, gaming spec or otherwise. Awful, unreliable, laggy cr@p, in my opinion.

Yeah for £1769 lol

Back in stock guyz!!

Had the monitor refund now and the base payment was never taken.

I got the monitor refund today but still waiting for them to cancel the base unit payment pending. Crazy!

Just had the refund applied for the monitor to my paypal account. Not sure if that's been a natural process or if the added weight of the paypal claim may have helped hurry it along?

Glad to help. Hope your mom enjoys it

That’s not my experience. Email dodgers

A good company to deal with (y)

Another here I think https://itzoo.co.uk/collections/cheap-laptops-tablets/products/refurbished-dell-latitude-e6320-laptop-i5-2-6ghz-windows-11 or https://itzoo.co.uk/collections/cheap-laptops-tablets/products/refurbished-dell-e6330-laptop-i5-3320m-2-6ghz-windows-12

Price seems about right for a 2011 laptop

sold out

They had a 25% discount code on Wednesday or Thursday. Noticed they had 25% off most days on certain machines this week only between 11 am and 3 pm.

Dell customer service are shocking. I ordered a laptop via outlet which originally was shown as 7-9 business days delivery. As soon as the transduction processed they went up to 28 business days! Called customer service. Or tried to. Only available between 9 & 5 week days despite very obviously having the call handled by a call centre in India. Finally get through and got some lame excuse of there being a global parts shortage. I asked why a machine which was outlet & therefore already built was subject to a parts shortage. Dell is a major multinational so should have 24/7 customer service as there's no way an Indian call centre only works between 2pm - 11pm local time. Then there was a double charge. I get an invoice asking me to pay by wire transfer which I did. 3 days later they took payment AGAIN via my debit card. What kind of company can't tell an invoice has been paid? I'm still trying to get my money back & am being passed from pillar to post. Dell have put me in overdraft which costs me daily. BEWARE OF DELL!

Yeah I couldnt find a 4k screen under a grand.

Voted hot for 4K touchscreen. Wish all laptops like this one.
