Dell Laptop Deals & Offers

Received mine too. Screen is crisp but quite dim which is slight disappointment. Not sure what screen tech it uses but not IPS for sure. Keyboard is great not sure what the complaint was, much better than my budget laptops. Touchpad was also good. (I have used some very annoyingly bad touchpads which I hated) Very smooth loading Windows, fans does get loud when kicks in. On tablet mode I can feel alot of heat blowing at me... Form factor is a little larger than I thought as borders are quite thick, not super light but definitely more portable than a standard laptop. Battery seems poor lasted 1-2 hour performing Windows update and then required charging again..not sure if this is normal for laptop of this size with the cpu power.. Removed Mcafee, now Windows update stuck on 1709 update, but thats more of Windows issue... For the price is not bad definitely not worth the RRP. Will need try using it longer to see if I could get used to the screen or not. If I can't then will return it. Also may try fresh Windows install and then re-use the MS windows key. If anyones else thinking of fresh install then suggest you back up the drivers or do a recovery back up as suggested on manual.

MS knows what key has been used on what device and generally I have experienced that it automatically assigns the key that was previously on it. I also use an app to get the key from the bowels of the system as a backup in case things don't automatically work.

Underneath the battery?

It's been a while since I purchased a new laptop. I've noticed there's no product key underneath the laptop. If I was to install a fresh Windows 10, would I need a product key to activate it?

I will probably do a clean install just so that I know what is on it.

Precision was/is not designed for gaming.

It's not a gaming gpu

Why is everyone obsessed on gaming laptops..... Is this a decent all rounder? Sorry not having a go just an observation.

firepro cards are for workstations not gaming so probably a good option for a cheap CAD pc rather than a gaming rig

Not a gaming laptop this is a workstation replacement

Another laptop of the same spec (from original post) appeared today (Thursday 12th April) at £370.96 including VAT, so I grabbed it (same model is at £579.99 at Currys). Dell 5570, i5 8250u, W10 home, 8gb, 1TB HD, 15" 1920x1080 monitor The one that appeared today was only a single one of that spec, but I am sure more will be added so keep checking. It is worth checking every day, often more than once a day, as new laptops are being added (and purchased) all the time. There are variations of the Dell 5570, some with SSD instead of hard drive, some with DVD drive some without etc. There are also Dell 3567 laptops, Dell 5567 laptops, 13" screens, 17" screens etc so plenty to choose from.

I've just got a Dell 15% student code but missed this one, any recommendations for around £500 (max) for a laptop to travel with work demonstrating online software, PowerPoint presentations, emails etc. I use a desktop PC for everything unless I'm travelling for work.

I wouldn't want this clown near my old laptop never mind a brand spanking new one.

Look at my previous reply in my previous post. I have added a m2 ssd as well as an IPS screen. The screen of this laptop is basically not comfortable for eyes

Great deal I got one about 30mins ago. Ended up with the 256gb SSD and the 4gb 530 for £387 which seems great. Got a code from Dell chat for 10% off to get to that price, great

Bought similar e7240 i7/8gb in very good condition it's blazing fast and no problems whatsoever.

Benchmarks dont lie. There is hardly any difference in the 2 processors. I would pick the ssd and the i5 over that i7 plus £45 in the bank. The i5 2500 is still popular with gamers. Who ever buys this latop is wanting something fast to turn on (ssd) and be able to browse and use word documents. If you wanted to say anything to differentiate the 2 laptops it would be the e7240 has a full hd screen. But you see its tft. I used these laptops with work. Each to their own but I know that e6420 would out perform this e7240 as that i7 is not very good.

Second gen i5, even older than this deal. I used a E6420 for work a few years back, they are a dust magnet and really hard to clean.

That thing is prehistoric - look at it! 2nd Gen i5

The lack of a dedicated GPU isn't the end of the world. You can get a decent playable experience on GTA 5 on just an i3 6100 using the iris graphics chip, so I bet there are plenty of (perhaps not brand new AAA) games that would run ok on this with a tweak of the settings.

With Dell announcing the new G series of laptops im hoping we get some cracking deals on the Inspirons

Still no dedicated GPU and i3 vs i5 on this deal. Could be a good choice if you need a lot of RAM though, it can take up to 32GB!

Nice price but no dedicated GPU so outside of the obvious performance impact, part of the laptop RAM will be used by the integrated one, you can upgrade the RAM but you will loose dual channel if you do. I think think these 2 laptops are for slightly different usage.

Gaming, its an AMD 530 chip. Unless every benchmark I've found, albeit a quick search. Then it would suck big time. Happy to be proven wrong.

Anything with a Thunderbolt 3 port can be docked and drive 2 4K monitors, have an external GPU etc so while you're right most people will not use it for anything resource intensive it is entirely possible to do so. Personally when running chrome, slack, containers and a heavy IDE my RAM disappears pretty quickly while my CPU is mostly idle once everything's spun up. 16GB of RAM would have been handy and a pretty good pairing for the CPU. The lack of it is ultimately why I retired it for an office desktop.

I'm sure you are correct, I was comparing to my 2 yr dell xps which I guess must be another generation older than this (I had i7 then). I too was dissapointed with the 8gb ram and had intended to increase only to discover it's soldered!! I also have a HP envy with I5-7200U and that is a dog to use, it's soo slow compared to the 8th gen so I can't find any reasonable argument to buy this which is even older.

Yes, it's the QHD Touch... Personally I would have preffered 1080p for the longer battery life as I have my screen scaled to 150% anyway but they don't do 1080p in touchscreen.

dual core 6th gen processor?? you having a laugh at this price aren't ya. good price several years ago maybe but not now

I have a Latitude 7370 with a Core M7, 8GB RAM, 1TB SSD and the only major bottleneck for me is the RAM. I think it's because web browsers have increased their memory usage a lot over the last 3 months or so partly due to the Spectre/Meltdown mitigation. Prior to this 8GB was fine. Some more CPU grunt would be nice at times but not often.

Dunno about the 7th gen, but 8th gen with a Quad HD screen tops 10 hours of battery life easily. It’s a far nicer panel than the FHD (not that the FHD is poor in any way), and I’d choose better screen over a CPU upgrade at the same price, but whatever floats your boat.

Used MacBook pro before and can say the XPS 13 is a wonderful laptop, worthy competitor. HOWEVER like you say, trackpad is central to everything and it just doesn't compete with MBP. There is also coil whine...

That’s personal preference. When 9th generation comes out you would then want that. But for this price a brand new laptop of such specs is a bargain.

Yeah it was a bit of a beast. I actually would have preferred it to my surface pro I think which I never use as a tablet.

They’re available on Dell Outlet - that’s where I got mine from. I got the 9360R with the standard FHD anti-glare display for £800, it’s still a very good panel, doesn’t ravage the battery and I don’t really get touchscreens on ultrabooks so it’s lost on me.

yes, I ordered mine on Friday 30th March and it was delivered a week later, on the 6th April. The delivery timescale quoted at the time of ordering was much longer.

Anyone who ordered off here had their item dispatched yet

UKMail have always been excellent for me. The guy delivering around here has been the same for ages and he's really good at his job.

The touch screen one is 7373 model. I have this.

Just read the specs and the certain for sale clearly states non touch screen.

Damn you VAT! Not in my price range after all!

Inspiron 15 - 5570 Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-8250U (Quad Core, up to 3.40 GHz, 6MB Cache, 15W) Windows 10 Home (64bit) 8GB (1x8GB) 2400MHz DDR4 Non-ECC 256 GB Solid State Hard Drive Tray load DVD Drive (Reads and Writes to DVD/CD) AMD Radeon 530 4GB Full HD £329 plus VAT - scratch and dent on there if you are quick...

Some decent deals on the other laptops also

SSD is a shame can you add one? Still a decent price never the less! Heat

Probably best if you read posts properly before contradicting them. If you click on the Read more link in my post then you will see that I was referring to the 17-5000 model bought by Yoyo-Lakey. This was, and still is, £699-12% to give £615.12.

Nope, the Inspiron 13 7370 is sold from Dell at £799 -12% today = £703 John Lewis does not include 3 year warranty on that model, but 2 years. I think you are looking at different 17 inch models...

Looks like a decent machine for the price. I think the same machine is £615.12 (699 less 12%) direct from Dell at the moment. John Lewis are including a 3 year warranty whereas Dell only includes 1 year. Same machine from Dell

I just brought this one which is a similar spec but 17inch screen. I’ve been looking for awhile for one with an i5 8th gen and I thought this one was really good.

good the board wont fry then

Been looking at the i7 700 in the warehouse at £640 but with scratches very tempting

is it worth 500?

Heat for the op.(y)

Cold weather this Easter.

You missed out on a good deal - https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/dell-7577-i5-gtx-1050-inspiron-15-7000-gaming-laptop-499-with-code-dell-2912660 This one is still available though - https://www.ebuyer.com/791536-asus-zx553-gaming-laptop-zx553vd-dm968t?affid=249371&affname=http://www.digidip.net/&awc=2690_1521900082_d9508967f3c00dc8e4f5ca0381d4bf9f&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=Discount+Code&utm_source=digidip+UK+and+USA+-+Incentivized&utm_content=0&utm_term=249371 Better graphics card and CPU and £80 cheaper - you can use that money on a decent SSD :)

aghhhh that's why. Thanks The DELL Inspiron 13 5370 13.3" Laptop - Silver and only £30 more, is that decent?

Poor value. Worthless gpu, rubbish i5 compared to 8th Gen.
