i said "not the cheapest build Quality" i didnt say its Quality
I would take a Dell over a HP any day of the week. At least you know the heat sinks inside are large enough.
Fair enough
my dell can't stand the heat. good price though
I just had the same one from Dell Outlet for $379 about a week ago.
Pretty good actually. Not the best, but good for general use.
I bought one of these earlier in the month when they had 15% off computers.
Dell has an almost identical model (x510745au), but it has 8GB memory vs 4GB, and NVIDIA® GeForce® 820M 2GB DDR3L compared to Intel HD Graphics 4400. The one of the Dell site is going for $899.
Spending another $90 on 8GB memory (only has one memory slot, so need to remove the 4GB), will still make it cheaper than the Dell.com price.
I compared some of the big names (Lenovo, HP, Toshiba, Asus) and nothing compares for the price.
The build quality is on the cheap side - all pastic, pretty flimsy . Screen quality is also not the greatest. But for $600, can't complain too much.
Definitely cheaply built (I have one).
Also be careful, many of these only one have slot for RAM, and have 10/100 ethernet (not gigabit). No dual-band WiFi either.
yup. i agree with Make it so.
only one ram slot - so much for dual channel
no access to hard drive - you have to remove the whole back cover, essentially the same thing but it's not.
on the good side is only that most laptops under 1000$ are like this. things have changed the last couple of years, the IT companies got smart and want you to pay Apple prices for anything decent laptop wise.
Dual core only?? Integrated graphics?? 2001-era screen resolution? Might as well just buy a $249 Wal-Mart Celeron.
Is this the Inspiron 15 3000? Because I had a play with one at jb the other day. A lot of flexing on the keyboard and the screen, also the touchpad sinks in on all four corners without applying a lot of force. Wouldn't call it quality built if this is the same model.
