Dell XPS Deals & Offers

Is 4% hot?????

Perhaps, but surely you can't use student discount and claim this as expenses + flat rate VAT?

U can get a 10% discount code from dell support for Ur first order just easly write email to them with a request. That make U a price arround 1395£

You have to apply for discount code via dell student and use NUS card as proof. Takes a few days.

NUS works ??

Ideal OP, will see if this will accept the Porsche Book.

13” obviously

Does it fit the new 2018 MacBook Pro retina with Touch Bar?

But what if you want to wear it on your shoulder

Also have one for my XPS 13 and it's excellent. Also like how its showerproof, so fine when out and about and heaven's decide to open!.

Great sleeve. Have been carrying 1+year on regular use and still going strong

nice to see yet another inateck post by the mods

just need to be careful when taking the device out.. easily slip out..

Should have an ssd at this price imo.

Xps's aren't widely marketed for gamers, it's not a gaming laptop, it's for content creators who need portability.

This chassis can barely handle the 1050 as it is. You need something a lot chunkier to keep the 1060 cool.

I looked into doing it with mine but didn't bother in the end. Seems like you'll run into a lot of issues with drivers and you'll need to replace the WiFi card. As far as I'm aware the 1050 won't work at all either. Depends what you need it for I guess.

i would steer clear, its only got a gtx 1050 4gb, you could possibly find a 1060 6gb for around this price which is twice as fast at gaming, then again this model is really sleek.

Personally I wouldn’t touch HP or Lenovo for their laptop ranges, bad experiences with built quality with Lenovo, and driver/software support from HP is abysmal. Not to be accused of being a fanboy... but those MacBooks are worth the money! (lol)

The dell screen is supposed to be better than the macbooks. In terms of nits too. I didnt know about the precision range. Ill look into it What about Spector and x1 carbon Id add sb2 but minus nits Thanks for the advice

The obvious choice is a MacBook Pro (another 100% RGB screen) - there’s a reason they’re so popular with photographers and video creators. Failing that, the Dell Precision range uses the same screens, but both options are extra £££ :/

But if screen is a priority what would you choose for that, power and user-friendly. Ie photo/video edits Thanks

once upon a time yes but not anymore. all the reviews ive been reading for the dell lineup are pretty much all the same in saying they are very unreliable now

I don't recall that. Was looking to buy one of these if it came down to £700 let alone to £400ish. I saw nothing like the price you mention on Prime Day and I was looking regularly from the day before.

Back in stock

Congratulations and well done ;)

Cold, got the i7 8550u version of this for £450 on prime day!

Who bought last one? Expired

No. All fine for me!

I googled it. If you press FN + Esc it enables/disables the function keys lol...All working fine now. However, do you experience it feels laggy sometimes?

Xps is a premium product, should be faultless out of the box.

Try the dell support. They're really good!

It started working automatically. Doesnt look smooth though. The blacks looks grainy and spotty. Might have to find a way to calibrate the display

Because Volta is due out soonish, when laptops come out with 1160's, that's when you'll see the 1060 ones drop to the floor but until then it's make as much money off the things as possible.

I almost bought that one, but that's a whole kilo heavier and I'm not sure if the extra horsepower that I'll use maybe once, is worth the extra heft of it.

its a form factor thing really, obviously can get higher spec for the same money but trade off is a larger chassis

It will be better than an XPS for gaming and should do the 'all round' stuff fine. I haven't looked at this model as I want the bit-sturdier and more compact XPS. It is worth checking some reviews to see if it suffers from thermal throttling too badly - the smaller XPS does, but it becomes less of an issue the bigger you go (the Alienware in the same deal will be much better on that side, but is massively bigger/heavier too!)

Cheers. Do you think the G5 I sent is worth it for a good all round gaming and general laptop? Hoping to pick it up tomorrow

No: this is the one: https://www.dell.com/en-uk/shop/laptops-notebooks-and-2-in-1-laptops/new-xps-15/spd/xps-15-9570-laptop/cnx97003 The G series is more biased towards games. While the XPS doesn't have quite as good graphics card (1050ti) and is more of a business/premium/'do it all' option. Mine will be used for programming in multiple IDEs, WAMP server, *lots* of browser tabs and so on. I have a seperate PC for gaming, the little I find time for that! I definitely want 32gb RAM at least - hopefully the deal tomorrow will make it cheaper for me to get this and upgrade than to have bought the 32gb model in the first place. (Maybe get a bit back selling the 2x 8gb modules.)

That’s the g5?

Hello. Is it this? https://www.dell.com/en-uk/shop/laptops-notebooks-and-2-in-1-laptops/new-dell-g5-15/spd/g-series-15-5587-laptop/cn55813

Mine too (y)

Hi Vincent, sorry for late message. I meant to thank you for posting such a great deal. The laptop arrived yesterday and looks like new. Thanks again

Probably because there was only 1 and also pot luck what you actually get. I’ve had 11 items returned to the warehouse last month that turned up with various issues.

Not sure how this went cold, great spec for the money.

256gb of RAM?

I waited too long and they're all gone now ;(

I bought an XPS 13 a few months ago from AW. Came brand new. Don't bother with Amazon if you have warranty issues - it's Dell you need to contact. If it's not being registered Dell can do that for you over the phone - only slight issue is it's collect and return. You can also put in the service tag on Dell's support page and it'll show the warranty info. You can upgrade and extend it directly with Dell if you wanted too (that's what I did).

Anyone who's ordered this can clarify the warranty and also what the condition of the laptop was like? Thanks

Can anyone clarify the warranty situation regarding this deal? I've contacted Amazon a few times and they've given me different responses. Does it come with dell 1 year warranty? How long is the Amazon warranty on this? On live chat from Amazon I've been told it comes with dell warranty by some but also told thaf it doesn't by others. Also by some I've been told it comes with 2 year Amazon warranty and some saying 1 year.

Got one in the last few weeks, same spec as this for around £1200 with 2 year on-site warranty from Dell. Its a lot of money so I wanted a bit of a warranty - especially as I heard baad thing about Dell, though that might be more reflective of their volume sales than actual quality. You only hear from people when they have problems and you wouldn't make money if even a 20th of your output was faulty. It's very decent, especially at this price, but I would agree with a previous comment that battery life isn't amazing - not like an ipad or anything but I think I knew what I was getting myself into. Physical quality-wise its better than I expected. Reviews generally say the keyboard is ok, not great but ok. I love the keyboard and it's a mile away from my business Lenovo - I wonder what a GREAT laptop keyboard would be like if this just ok. The screen is superb, superb, superb! On full brightness it would combat a nuclear blast so although the screen is glossy you can combat it no probs. Good price, great laptop. P.S I ply my games like Bad Company 2, GTA V etc on high settings with no probs at all. It's not a gaming machine but it's got chops.

Yes I just asked what's your best price? And went away to think about it. When they rang back we negotiated more. Within a day or so It was clear that they couldn't go lower so then I would buy.

Did you just ask them what they could give you?

I got at least 15% plus percent off in addition to sales prices. All new items.

What prices are we talking please?

Always ring up Dell sales. See what they can do with the price. Deal hard. You will get it for much cheaper than this. I have an XPS 15, XPS desktop and XPS 13 and got beyond code prices.

What would you like to know? The overly bright LEDs when charging? The WORST speakers on a premium laptop ever. The sharp corners? The light bleed? The rubbish battery?

The Inspiron 7000 series is the premium entry in the Inspiron line-up and admittedly, the quality has come on loads as it has to compete with metal laptops in lower segments (Asus Zenbook, Lenovo Yoga/IdeaPads, etc.) but the XPS still has the edge - the carbon fibre doesn't look cheap, it feels like plastic but then it's a composite material, it is incredibly stiff and rigid which is what gives it that quality feel, the metal lid is thick and doesn't really give or dent easily. I've had both of these and I'd pick the XPS all day long, but I do agree and I said it above, 1080p is perfectly fine for this, I have a very good 1080p IPS panel on a Dell Latitude E7440 (14" ultrabook) and it's bordering on being too small, but I do prefer to run at 100% as Windows just cannot deal with scaling properly and still can't after god knows how many years now. QHD and 4K on laptops of this size is just for 'retina' quality where you can barely see the pixels and have smooth fonts but you need much brighter backlights to achieve the same 'overall' brightness and much more power to drive the displays, and that seems like a waste to me. Dare I say it, the only mainstream OS that can deal with scaling properly is Mac OS X.

Old model is probably still better than my 5yo laptop just now, I ain't fussy lol :p

it's the old model, it'll turn up again no doubt.

Bahhhhh, I've had my eye on this laptop for ages. Oh well. Weren't meant to be.

Inspiron 7000 series 15 inch is basically that, just not quite as sturdy but better value. Or go full-fat Precision.

Do you have a recommendation for something only slightly thicker but of a similar build quality of the xps?

It's retail would have been nearer £1500 though with that spec, everyone knows if you have time Dell Outlet has the odd crazy offer that pop up. I didn't say I was always near mains, I said a charger was always with reach so the opportunity to run off mains and have nearly full charge is always there. You'd choose the XPS 15 as a premium thin-and-light with a discrete GPU, it looks smart for business or pleasure and is durable/rigid. I'm typing on a Dell Latitude ultrabook now and would rather have something lightweight on my lap than a heavy space heater/ball cooker.

I paid £958 nearly a year ago but i did get it from the refurbished section while there was a promo on with 10% off all outlet laptops. Fair enough, suppose it is different for everyone, I just figure if you're always near a mains and not using it on the go then why even go for an ultrabook, just get something a bit thicker for way less money.

I'd disagree. I would take a smaller battery to be able to have an SSD and hard disk at the same time over larger battery. I'm never far from a charger anyway and 'being portable' doesn't mean 'must have huge battery', I always thought it lasted long enough as it is and am normally on mains as performance is reduced on battery. Not sure I buy into 'future proofing' either, blink and it's technically out-of-date anyway, just buy what you need. You obviously value battery life higher than me and that's fine. How much more did you pay for yours then - can't imagine it was much less than £1500 if comparing like for like.

These are last year's models. Dell just released 2018 refresh of XPS 15 laptops. 8th gen i5 model is £1300 and i7 is £1450, also with better SSD.

Dell Outlet is even better if you phone them. They can offer better prices than the outlet website on warranties and money off new accessories to go with refurb machines. There is also the default 10% off for anyone who has not ordered from Dell in the last 12 months. They can do this instantly over the phone, don't need to wait 24 hours for the code to be emailed. Also they reserve the machine you ask for once you start talking to them, whereas putting it in your basket doesn't reserve it.

Agreed

The dell outlet is so much better value for money

"10% of selected Dell XPS laptops" are... 10% off?

Last year's model, sadly

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.
