Dell XPS Deals & Offers

I don't, sorry. But it's worth keeping an eye on the site and on the coupon/discount sites. As they do seem to change a lot. Alienware seems to be a bit of a rarity however.

Do you know how often they refresh their discount codes? This would be an ideal system :)

Ya it ended a few days ago from what I can see. I found a 40% Off code on Voucher Codes UK: DELL2

Code no longer working :(

Same here, I also received gtx970 3way sli

Nah, these will generally last many years without any major hardware problems. Clock cycles is just (broadly speaking) how fast information can be processed, and won't affect the longevity of devices unless they have been severely overclocked and pushed past their thermal design power (tdp), causing damage via overheating. Even then, most devices can detect overheating and automatically shutdown to prevent damage. I would definitely go for a refurb if it's significantly cheaper - like this deal. The only thing that might wear after many year's use is the battery, which is easily replacable. But this is the latest model, barely a year old, so it should have plenty of life in it yet. It may not even have been used for a few months! Besides, it has a year warranty.

I'm currently in the market looking for a similar speced Laptop. Question is: can you trust refurbs? If the clock cycles on the components are high, then the system will soon have a failure and you'll have to find a new laptop?!

I imagine the lack of a dedicated GPU is what's putting most people off.

I totally agree. Sometimes people's expectations on this site on what a deal really is, baffles me (shock) Particularly around refurbed kit.

Great price if you're after an XPS, even if it is a refurb. Anyone enlighten me on the cold votes?

My son's XPS 13 died after 2.5 years, sadly, and the motherboards (known issue...) are £500! Have gone for and XPS 15 from the outlet as there were 11 of them; i5 models which they no longer sell on the main site, so I am assuming that these are all new and being cleared. Managed to get 15% off with university code (there is a Unidays 14% code for the main site) so pretty good deal. Hopefully this will last longer. Sadly, I also bought a desktop for work and that had the engineer out to replace the motherboard after 3 days. Told him the problem was with the CPU, so now the machine has been shipped to Germany for repair.

Thanks. Agree the CPU is good. But, I understand from the previous comments above, this laptop's build quality is not that great.

2019 model already released for the XPS 13. Next 2-in-1 model will probs be around June (Computex).

The i5-8265u is a cracking CPU, faster than a lot of recent i7's and it's a quad core.

Many thanks for the heads-up. (y) It's very useful

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.

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?

What about on a 15 inch... would the battery life be better

I got about 5 hours on my XPS 4k model doing basic web browsing/youtube. It's a lovely panel, but unnecessary on a 13 inch IMHO. My 2015 Macbook is great, but showing age now. I will upgrade, but waiting on the next Apple MBP design I think unless something goes bang.

Yeah i was debating on dell xps especially 4k...and wasnt too keen on mac book as in the latest as i think the 2015 models were the best? Even though newer ones are higher spec the loss of ports is big for creativity. If apple did consider bringing the 2015 style back which i doubt id probably go with them...as of noew i feel its more about Spector or surfacebook 2 but dells screen blows them away...cant win really Power wise i think surface book Nice touch with the pen and dial Reliable probable macbooks Just not worth it if you have to pay for so many adapters in my opinion Hp not perfect either Dell best screen definitely something i want If surfacebook 2 had a screen like dells 4k id be sold...but then im sure the power battery life would take a hit. So maybe in this generation today it is what it is especially based on price too

XPS are poorly designed. Literally get faulty ones come in batches weekly...

Defintely pot luck. If you get a device thats been assembled correctly its gonna be a bargain buy. But the risk from the Amazon feedback makes me decline making the plunge.

Its possible this is a great deal, but as this model is above average consumer price range your struggle to get it hot on this website, they seem to vote them cold. Its almost like you cant be a bargain hunter and have an above average budget and be looking for good deals.

Read my post above, the xps is fairly easy to service to be honest(Im very experienced but a competent amateur could service these) A few torx screws on the bottom to access, main and daughter board has most stuff soldered so the boards usually need changing if any issues with ram/CPU etc. All other stuff is easily accessible and changeable, I've become better than the outsourced dell home service technicians at these. They always left the inside cable routing a mess, rounded most of the screws and nipped some wire insulation which I replaced/fixed myself with genuine parts.

The XPS have really nice screen and the small form factor of the 13" is fantastic alongside with a very comfortable keyboard. However the camera is in a weird place on this model, the bezel is flimsy, the lack of connectors is underwhelming as is the lack of proper dock and the small size means it is NOT servicable by end user.

Thanks, I'll take a look (y)

Have you considered the XPS 15 9575? It's the "2-in-1" version of the XPS 15, but it's a lot lighter and thinner. And you get the same res screen as with this XPS 13. It uses a different chipset to the XPS 15, but even the i5 is a very good chipset, with Vega graphics that are a lot faster than the Intel UHD graphics on the i7 in the XPS 13. Depends what you're doing really, but if you are prioritising the screen for graphics and creative work, then the faster GPU could be better for you than the marginal (10% ish) speed increase of the i7.

To be honest, I'd prefer a 15" 4k in the ideal world but struggling to find one with similar (relatively speaking) weight and price. So if you have any suggestions... (y)

You should also "bolt" it to the ground, so one can steal, otherwise it will "boil" your "blood".

Snowflake thinking. Do you think that a post designed to poke fun at either a spelling error or an educational deficiency should go unchallenged or do you just not like me calling him/her a dick?

Not acceptable in the slightest to use terms like this to refer to other members. Offensive, bullying and deserving of a ban.

This was from the John Lewis in Grand Central Birmingham

Not bad. But I think I win here: it was apparently damaged. Just a few cosmetic scratches.

Could you tell me where you got that from? Doesn't matter if it's not exactly the same model

For the guys voting cold, I've bought this laptop. If you have genuinely better deals please share them so I don't overpay

You'll be amazed how many have macbooks.

Must have been a refurb. Don't believe you could have got this model + spec of an XPS 15 for that price

Looks like I have as well 9570870! Merry Christmas

I know - I got 3. One for me, one for my wife, one for my 6 year old. Wait.... now I don't need to use HotUKDeals anymore. Bye everyone, thanks for everything...

Yes it’s just pocket change £1419

By time I got to end of the posts I forgot why I came in! All I see is Huawei!

Yeh the 16gb model is 400 quid over priced. Not had a look at skins yet. But definitely need one

Sorry I'm confusing myself now! just checked my Amazon order, it WAS the i7 I got but only 8gb ram £1299, I wanted the 16gb but everywhere was selling it around £1800. After playing with mine, I doubt I would need 16gb. I mainly bought it for 3d modeling on SketchUp and running DJ software but I haven't actually done either yet. Have you seen the d brand skins for these devices? I think I may wrap mine in some, although there's cheap ones from China I may try (banggood and AliExpress)

No worries, just wanted to let you know! Thanks for posting the deal

Thanks

Sorry

Price is excuding VAT. Thought it was too good to be true (horror)

thanks for sharing your first deal.have some heat :)

Would also like a link, please. Would buy the Huawei over the Dell if still available at that price.

Yeah the customer support could be a worry but I hope huwai are well established enough now, I've not seen any bad reviews for huwai build quality, pretty much the opposite, every youtube reviewer gushed over it. Personally I'd still be happy with 1080 (or equivalent for the 3 by 2 aspect) on a small 13" laptop, mainly to save on battery but I don't have/use any 4k content. That said I'm loving the screen on mine, picture is awesome the bezels are none existent, goes incredibly bright but can be used comfortable at around 20% indoors. The thing powers up very fast, the fingerprint reader reads your nose picker as soon as you press the power button unlocking instantly. I ummed and ahhd for weeks over which laptop to buy, nearly went for the Lenovo yoga c930 hp spectre x360 or elite x360. There's loads of reasons why I chose this over others but the dedicated graphics card sealed the deal for me I would've loved this in a 2 in 1 form factor but I hardly ever used my last 2 in 1 laptop in anything other than laptop mode. I'm currently playing civilization 6 on it, the base is warm and the fans are constantly running but the game is running perfectly.

Have you got a link for that price please? I only found the 16gb version from dodgy looking sites or over £1800 on Amazon.

Illustrator? Really... that's worrying. I'm wondering if I should spend less on an equivalently specced Lenovo Ideapad 720S 14 (except for UHD).

I use all of the above sometimes but mainly illustrator and was even getting some lag using illustrator. Nearly went for the surface book but thankfully saw the X Pro before buying. Been looking to buy it since September but availability has been next to none.

I'll be waiting until after Christmas.

I've been looking at these for some time and the £1400 or so price is significantly more than it was previously (a few weeks ago). The £1274 price with the 15% off is coincidentally exactly the same as the price was when I checked. A massive con.

Amazing thanku Now just to find a white XPs ahh

Just go to any section or search items. Then sort by selecting seller as "amazon Wearhouse deals" and also selecting condition as "used"

Amazing so how do u find those Is it amazon normally website or

For those thinking of buying one (which I recently did) Id reccomend looking at dell's service plan. They've discounted the 4yr premium plus to only £153, which I thought was was great value for on site repairs and accidental damage cover.

Well I'm sure with the £7 saved you can build a time machine and buy one

This isn't cheaper than what was on offer in late September, in fact the same spec in Sept was £7 cheaper at £1332 #notimpressed

What do i get. This for 1350 or a HP Spectre x360 13 inch with the same spec but 8gb ram for 850? It's refurbished.

Cracking deal then 😜 have some heat
