Dell XPS Deals & Offers

I only buy a laptop mainly for use on planes or at the airport so plenty big for me.

Thanks, I think one of the above. If I select offers it says sorry there are no offers available for this card. :( I think the extra £100 off would have tipped the balance to buying the new XPS 15 4k I've been eyeing up. Maybe I'll wait until they do an AMD version.

Sure. If you log in the app, you will see 5 options across the bottom. One of those is 'offers' and it'll be listed there. If its not it could be as you say you haven't used it, or the type of amex (mine is platinum cashback, so it may vary offers)

Could you point me in the right direction for this. I've a Corp Card which I've never actually used. I've just installed the app but can't see anything about discounts valid for me. Could it be as I've never used the card.

Only 13 inches

Well, not exactly half price and not the same cpu (but tbh no much difference between the i5 and i7 ), they are both going to be worse than AMD competitors, though. I also assume that the 13'', 2in1 factor, premium built, better and brighter (touch)screen, better wifi card, touchpad, camera as well as genuine windows 10 license have not been taken into account. Btw I also ordered the Ideapad 15, with the metal palmrest but I don't expect anywhere near the same quality finish as the XPS' . XPS is a macbook competitor (in fact, better than the new, heat-sink and fan divorced 2020 macbook) , on the other hand the Ideapads are budget machines so shouldn't even be compared, they are not in the same league.

14" with 2GB MX350 GPU here, for half the price and double the specs and same CPU (512gb/16GB DDR3200/All metal case/95w Type C fast charger etc) https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/ideapad-5-i5-1035g12gb-mx350-14-ips-100-srgb-16gb-3200-512gb-pci-e-metal-bklite-fpnt-95w-type-c-at-lenovo-with-codes-51434-3445750?page=26#comment-40545013

:D :D

Sexy laptop but a 1500 flag chip with 8 RAM when the Lenovo deal has 16 for 500 quid I expect 32 at this price! And the AMD 7 whips the intel to the floor Only thing going for this is the sexy physical form. It’s like a blonde with big bo.bs but that’s about it but can’t converse or otherwise

And 8gb not enough

screen looks awful! wouldn't call those faint marks

Good price for the spec, but I'm not sure about the condition of the screen.

Thx for the heads up

If you don't care about a thin and light laptop, but want a powerful, rugged, cheap one - take a look at a used ThinkPad T440p on eBay (can be had for less than £100 used). Lots of opportunities to upgrade and customize as you see fit. You can put in your own IPS screen, a powerful multi-core Haswell CPU (37W TDP: i7-4702MQ or i7-4712MQ. 47W TDP: i7-4810MQ or i7-4910MQ), swap out the TrackPad and keyboard, *three* SSD hard drives at once, 16GB DDR3L RAM and you would still have change from £500. This brilliant buyers guide will walk you through it: https://octoperf.com/blog/2018/11/07/thinkpad-t440p-buyers-guide/

Check out the new Razor Blade Stealth. For the money better stuff out there. Suppose depends on what someone wants but me personally I wouldn't touch this Dell laptop whilst at this price. The Razor Blade Stealth was a quick 2 minute search. Sure I could find better if I had a good look. Suppose the Razor isn't a like for like comparison. But I am just thinking value for money.

I don’t think it’s that hot a deal either but I’d argue it’s not overpriced in this segment - especially given the latest gen hardware.

(lol) Its not a hot deal, fact. Its overpriced for what you get.

Like what exactly? You’re paying for the metal and carbon-fibre chassis, same as all the other super premium ultrabooks. If you rate a GPU that highly then this isn’t going to be a machine where you find value. As to price drops, Dell and all the other premium model brands typically don’t drop the price to keep them exclusive.

link doesn't work for me either might be uBlock Origin messing it up (even though I temporarily allowed it through) I just see this error message on Dell's site: The system was not able to process your request. Please try again, and if this error re-occurs you can reach us at DellUKI_Outlet_support@dell.com.

What are the benefits of Thunderbolt 3 for you at the moment? Yes it's future-proof but what makes you very keen to get it if you don't mind asking?

No The icelake have a huge improvement in graphics now equivalent to the AMD processors. Icelake is the newest 10nm professor The comet lake 10th gen has Sl better clock speeds but very much older intel graphics. The icelake is a much better processor overall though, but depends on the graphic subchip you have the G7 is the best with 64 graphical processing units followed by G4 then G1 is the older graphics. Confusing I know but intel are not exactly out to highlight their inferior products

The link doesn't seem to work for me

I would have bought if it had Thunderbolt 3 https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/28/18639317/intel-10nm-10th-gen-core-ice-lake-cpu-processor-laptop-launch-thunderbolt-3-sunny-cove

This machine isn't for gaming, you can tell that by the screen, 4k and 60hz. No mobile GPU is driving that well. Real gaming laptops have 1080p 120hz+ screens. This machine is also pointless as a workstation, that i9 throttles in this chassis under a heavy workload. And you can overclock it...why? This machine is better with a 6core, save some cash get the i7.

It's not a laptop for serious gaming and there would be no point adding a power hungry graphics card to it. Agree, the price is quite high but that's what you pay for a very competent machine in a portable form factor. Having used this laptop for over two years, I would struggle to replace it with anything else. The 4k screen is a joy to use and it's essentially a tablet/phone quality screen on a laptop. The only thing I would change is the wifi adaptor which is easy enough to do

I agree. I brought the dell g5 for less than £600 and this has the 1060 which is a better graphics card!

I think the whole point is keeping the design as slim as possible. So the logical compromise would be on the graphics card. I believe a more powerful card is going to require much more space for cooling devices hence making the laptop bulkier.

I know the graphics card isn't making it expensive, it's the graphics card that's letting the machine down. Why would anyone compromise on such an expensive laptop?

That was a really good deal

A hot XPS, with 16GB and 512 ssd, albeit in 13” version and a tad more! (y) https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/dell-xps-13-4k-i7-10th-gen-512gb-ssd-16gb-ram-1269-at-dell-uk-3346252

I'm afraid you'll never get an XPS getting hot. People see Dell and their insipid Inspirons and compare these, despite being chalk and cheese. Although I'd have liked to have seen 16gb and 512gb at this price point.

Dual core, 4GB RAM, barely adequate SSD size - I'm out.

Terrible specs... seen better on a pound shop toy

Not surprised its been rinsed at this price. In terms of price/deal for this actual machine, it may not be bad (not bothered checking). But the votes are most likely for to the spec. Not worth it at all at this price point. Processor: fail SSD size: fail Ram: fail

Available from Amazon and Currys again. Pulled the trigger on the currys one with 6.5% bluelight voucher discount. Not sure if quidco tracked.

I am sure this is an ips screen not the old, still one of the better screens, depends on what you are used too or need it for, both are not for gaming but best for creating.

Cheers, had seen on Currys that the non touch was listed as OLED whereas the touch was listed as IPS.

Not 10th gen icelake though

The 4k panel is one of the best. Touch does not interfere with the picture

Yeah, done that in the past. Normally you can push for 10% if you speak with a supervisor. Good deal op.

Deals still valid

Your overpaying you mean......

You do realise this isn't a gaming laptop right? You're not paying for high end graphics specs. You're paying for the more portable package and superior build quality. Comparing a gaming laptop to one of these is like comparing a pickup truck to a sports car and complaining it only has two seats- you'd be missing the point of each product.

Good deal for this model, but beware of the 56Whr battery. Dell used to do the bigger 97Whr battery even on these lower models, but not any more. Most reviews that say the battery life is excellent will have used the 97Whr version, not this 56Whr one.

True, but it has meant I've managed to root out a bogie or two before the start of a video conference ;)

That's lots of money for a laptop..

You wouldn't believe how many gamers genuinely think the world revolves around them.

Jeez how easily you all people take the gaming comment bait. Theres always one. Just ignore the troll. It's a great machine. Best desktop replacement ultrabooks. But with a price to match. To me the oled screen is just another thing to worry about. I'm sure its gorgeous but I'd settle for a top class bright LCD.

please nobody buy this for gaming

Glad I got one :)

OOS

Can I just say that I love this laptop and so tempted to buy but I just am not sure about the messing around with credit. Thank you so much for sharing. I have been looking at this laptop (albeit a lower spec) on the dell website and was hoping for the price to go down further.

Yeah, unfortunately they haven't released the FHD model on Dell's website with these specs in most of Europe. The UHD version is stunning... if you're happy with 4 hours battery life.

Some idiots above are comparing apples to pears, this site is no longer worth posting anything.

I already own both, specifically an 8565U equipped XPS 13 and a lightweight MSI GS63 with 8750H + GTX 1060.

Let's agree to disagree. You buy the XPS and I will go for a new lighter Gaming Laptop with an i7-9750H or HP Spectre. TTFN!

Because the best of both worlds costs a lot more money, and sacrifices battery life.

Then why not go for the best of both worlds, a performance laptop which i both fast, up-gradable and lightweight, try a laptop made by Razer!

Good price this for a 10th gen laptop. One of very few with a 16:10 screen. Just Ordered it after watching this laptop since announcement. Also 6% via TopCashBack. works out to £1316

This is meant to say £1399 not £1899. The code takes £500 off the advertised price.

£1900 for a laptop... C'mon

Very good price! (y)

The people express their gratitude.

This isn't a bad price but the 4K screen is well worth the extra IMO. Had mine for over 3 years, used for hours every day and feels as good as new other than a replacement battery.

Lol! It was clear enough the first time you posted.

Updated, per the demand of the people (y)

That's where I'm at plewis00. Chromebook for 90% of tasks as it's so much quicker, with the remainder falling to Windows. When Linux for ChromeOS gets GPU acceleration, even more will go to the CB.

There has been some feature-creep and bloat in Windows 10 but it still runs very well for me and most of the time I'm using a Haswell-gen laptop (so 5 years old now). I also have another computer running Windows 7 and 10 just seems faster and smoother with things still working as they should. I run pretty clean installs, any machine with pre-installed bloat (McAfee being the worst) will struggle even with fast SSDs. I would use Linux but things I want to do are more hassle, and the things I could do in Linux but can't in Windows probably overlap with Chromebooks as well.

I wish I was being sarcastic plewis00. The way Windows 10 is getting so bloated, it's not looking good for limited hardware. The likes of you and I may be able to get more use by installing Linux or Cloudready, but for most, it's off to landfill.

Pretty sure the stated RRP gave me 16GB/512GB plus a 4k touch screen This I'd say is a normal price for the spec. My HP is better spec'ed for a tiny bit more. XPS range has a nicer 'feel' but not that much.

Someone posted the link here for £139.97 A1 grade with the 4GB RAM and full HD panel but I found the A2 at £99.97 - one was mint, the other a bit knocked around but they gave me £40 off that one. https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/refurbished-acer-cb3-431-inch-chromebook-3261923

Yeah I was going to complain but tbh will just take my business elsewhere. They clearly don’t want my money.

Same here. They said they’d see what they could do if I placed another order, but price for the refurb has gone up and they couldn’t guarantee any definite discount until a new order is placed. Poor.

Phoned to check and was told that it was a mistake and they had no stock. That I could reorder another and they would give me an 8% discount. Seems a bit cheeky given that it was a 16% discount and the price before was around £100 less than the same laptop is now. Going to complain

still not billed, online status saying confirmed and delivery by 5th July.... it's 4th of July now.... need to call Dell - not impressed

Mine's showing up now, but dated 27-Jun.

Delivered like new today

Thanks for the update

I can confirm that £75 Amex credit for buying via the Dell Outlet worked and has been credited to my card today. Also £8 quidco.

Not until delivery takes place, supposed to credit a few days after delivery.

Can anyone confirm if the Amex £75 credit works on the Dell Outlet store? Thanks.
