    Definitely been considering this. Thinking I might prefer the build quality of a Lenovo E560.

    • IJustKnowStuff on 29/12/2015 - 11:38

      If your going to say something like that provide some info / pricing of what your talking about please.

      If you want any kind of service don't get the Lenovo. I've been pestering them for 3 months to fix my in-warranty tablet.

      • dunno on 29/12/2015 - 11:46

        Agreed. Took me literally over 6 months to get a screen replaced on my laptop…worst company I've ever dealt with

      "build quality" and "Lenovo" aren't often seen in the same sentence these days…
      You'll find the quality of product, service and warranty much better from Dell.

    Was looking at this before this was posted.
    866 + hopefully 40 bucks back from Cash Rewards is a OzBargain!

    Last purchase was a dud. Screen bleed and major keypad issues! Buying via ebay Malaysia Dell for me was a mistake! It is taking almost a month now (maybe due to festive season) for the replacement. I'm hoping the replacement unit will be flawless.

    • ce5himm on 29/12/2015 - 11:55

      i bought one last month with dell au ebay i think. replacement received with 2 days after approval. i had it replaced two times. finally got a machine happy with.

      • j03 on 29/12/2015 - 12:00

        yup i usually buy from dell sydney and they are easy and fast to deal with.

      • mg_k on 29/12/2015 - 12:06

        what was the fault? Would you still recommend this? Price is sooo good…

        • cminez on 29/12/2015 - 12:13
          +2

          This deal is belong to Dell AU, not Malaysia.

        • mg_k on 29/12/2015 - 12:14

          @cminez:

          Indeed. But it says it will be shipped from Malaysia.

          So will it be covered and dealth with by Dell AU if there's any problem, or do I have to send it back to Malaysia for warranty?

        • j03 on 29/12/2015 - 12:19

          Fault was a bad screen bleed + Touchpad was sticky and jumpy (cursor would just jump randomly).

        • j03 on 29/12/2015 - 12:22

          @cminez:

          Its coming from Malaysia. It will be sent back to Malaysia. Replacement will come from Malaysia.

          Well thats what happening to mine. Exactly this unit.

        • cminez on 29/12/2015 - 12:31

          @j03:

          My first BTO Dell was sent from Malaysia. I had service in Australia. Their staff at Chatwood helped me really good. I'm not sure they do still have service booth at Westfield.

    • 1bug on 29/12/2015 - 12:35

      Most products from the Dell website or Dell AU eBay store are shipped from their overseas factories (Malaysia, China).
      Some models are pre-built (aka: Smart Selection) and these are usually shipped from Sydney.
      Products on the Dell Outlet (As New & Refurbished) are also usually shipped from Sydney.

  • cminez on 29/12/2015 - 12:08

    Which SSD is good to go?

  • burningrage on 29/12/2015 - 12:14

    I bought this exactly at 11.01am lol via cash rewards. But unlike my purchases with Samsung, I didnt get a cashrewards notif even after 1 hour.

    Should i worry?

    Also what ssd will fit?

    • Endless Winter on 29/12/2015 - 12:27

      Last time I bought something from Ebay via Cashrewards. It didn't show up until the next day.
      Other places have been quicker.

      As for today, I put my order in at 11:36am.
      I'll see how I go.

  • seigweilo on 29/12/2015 - 12:15

    will swapping the hdd to ssd void the warranty?

    • IJustKnowStuff on 29/12/2015 - 12:31

      Get a caddy for the cd drive and put a ssd in tge optical slot. Might avoid your problem.

      • krisspy on 29/12/2015 - 17:26

        not gonna solve the problem if you need to open the backplate and potentially break void stickers.

        Highly unlikely that opening the backdoor will void your warranty, send it back with the original drive if you need warranty.

        • seigweilo on 01/01/2016 - 12:11

          so no stickers will be damaged from opening the backdoor for the HDD?

        • krisspy on 01/01/2016 - 13:52

          @seigweilo: I've opened atleast a dozen dell laptops over the years, never once seen them use void stickers or breakable tabs. These things are made to be changed, otherwise they'd be soldered on the laptop, even on the dell forums reps say opening it wont void warranty.

  • paul11 on 29/12/2015 - 12:20

    Was hoping to get a bargain on XPS 13. Too bad, Dell didn't reduced the XPS 13 price on their Ebay website. Its selling for $1699 on their website but $1999 on ebay site. Damn ….

  • scozzie on 29/12/2015 - 12:48

    I just bought a similar one. I've had my eye on this one for a while for the wife: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/331679499093

    Good specs, 15.6" 1080p display (with touchscreen), 8GB RAM, 256 SSD, 6th Gen i7-6500U. Its for the wife's writing and uni, so it's more than capable.

    $1999 on the Dell site, $1499 on Dell eBay site, $1275 with the 15% discount. Plus the CashRewards discount, it's not too far off half price of dell.com.au

  • mg_k on 29/12/2015 - 12:53

    Maybe a stupid question….but this has touchscreen right?

    • Onixe on 29/12/2015 - 13:14

      It does not…

  • fredblogs on 29/12/2015 - 12:55

    wish there was a good deal with a quad core CPU

  • pchuah on 29/12/2015 - 12:56

    Very tempting! Or this deal better? About $934.15 after Ebay 15% off. 6th gen i7 6500u chip but lower 6G ram and 1TB HDD. However, display is 1366 x 768

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Dell-Inspiron-15-5000-Series-Lapt…

  • BinnyC on 29/12/2015 - 12:56

    @scozzie: I am not good with computers. Is the one you bought or this deal better with configuration??

    • scozzie on 29/12/2015 - 13:02

      Yes, the one I mentioned is better (well, depending on your needs). It has a newer, faster processor, it has an SSD hard drive (faster). Touchscreen (if you need it). It doesn't have a numpad keyboard, which is what my wife was looking for in a laptop.

      Both are great deals, it just depends what you prefer or need. The one listed in the OP is a great deal if you don't mind about having last years processor technology. For the average user, this is negligible and will do just fine :)

  • burningrage on 29/12/2015 - 13:22

    Note that this model has only 1 usb 3.0 with HDMI 1.4 (latest is 2.0) with only 100mbps LAN.

    It has however AC Wifi so i think thats compensating enough.

    • Cheap Rich Guy on 29/12/2015 - 20:26

      Pretty disappointing that there are still laptops being sold with 100Mbps networking cards.

  • expertreader on 29/12/2015 - 13:54

    sold out…!!!

  • mg_k on 29/12/2015 - 13:54

    sold out…..WHO TOOK THE LAST ONE WHILST I WAS CHECKING OUT?!?!? :P

  • JonShannow on 29/12/2015 - 14:03

    Not interested in the laptop but picked up an el cheapo Dell desktop for mum and dad for $425. He's happy :)

  • dhleoz on 29/12/2015 - 14:04

    Thanks god, I got one half an hour before it sold out. This + $200 500GB Samsung Evo SSD = SUPER!

  • lostn on 29/12/2015 - 19:12

    Looks like they didn't put the current 15% off prices on their web site on their ebay stock, so you can't stack it with this.

    I've been waiting for a 20-30% off XPS deal, (which I have seen before) to coincide with an ebay deal.

    • 1bug on 30/12/2015 - 14:10

      It looks like 41 got sold yesterday (39 after the deal was posted).

      As it's a superseded model, they're unlikely to get more stock.

    How are people than managed to get this finding it?

    • seigweilo on 15/01/2016 - 14:24

      had to read twice then read again… huh?

      • NigelTufnel on 15/01/2016 - 14:46

        lol. Sorry, I realized after it was too late to edit that it was really badly worded.
        I was wondering how people who have received theirs are liking it?
        I was considering getting a model from the Dell outlet with this exact configuration (but $200 more expensive), and was looking for some reviews.
        Ended up buying it anyway, so the point's kind of moot now.

        • seigweilo on 15/01/2016 - 14:59

          most of us here might be on the same boat - waiting for delivery.

          How are you finding yours? any reason why you chose an above average spec'ed laptop? Mine's mainly for mobile video editing.

        • NigelTufnel on 15/01/2016 - 16:10

          @seigweilo: Should be delivered Monday…
          I wanted one that would last for quite a while, my current laptop is 8 years old - hopefully I'll get similar out of this.
          I do a lot of large spreadsheet and GIS modeling for work that requires a bit of oomph, plus a bit of programming and RAW photo editing on the side. I also like that it's easy to upgrade/change the insides of these machines (HDD, optical drive, Wi-Fi) if required.
          Made more sense in the long run than a lower spec'd machine I'd need to upgrade in 2 years.

        • seigweilo on 15/01/2016 - 17:06

          @Jonaseymour:

          sounds like the perfect machine then!

          Right on on being able to swap the internals, I'll get a HDD caddy for mine and ditch the DVD.

        • NigelTufnel on 15/01/2016 - 22:51

          @seigweilo: here's hoping. Always a bit nervous with big purchases.

  • seigweilo on 15/01/2016 - 11:42

    has anyone received theirs?

    • safwanc on 15/01/2016 - 13:44

      no, when is your ETA?

      • seigweilo on 15/01/2016 - 14:23

        this Monday, I think it's in SYD now hence the "with local carrier" status

        • safwanc on 15/01/2016 - 15:48

          My eta is Monday too. It also shows its with local courier under status.

      • 1bug on 15/01/2016 - 16:02

        On Dell's Order Status page, there should be a Tracking Number and Carrier code.
        If Carrier is SAU, enter the Tracking Number at the StarTrack website and press <Track>

        https://www.startrack.com.au/

        • NigelTufnel on 19/01/2016 - 10:18

          Man, it is a bitch to get this thing delivered…
          Attempted delivery yesterday.
          Can't redirect to work address. Can't give authority to leave. Therefore, forced to pick up from depot, as I won't be at home for delivery.
          Went to depot this morning (way out of town), not ready for pick up. Needs to be 'isolated'. So I play the waiting game until another trek out woop-woop is required.
          Star Track + Dell is not a nice delivery partnership.

        • NigelTufnel on 22/01/2016 - 14:52

          @Jonaseymour: Got it finally. Switched out HDD for SSD, next is to switch the optical drive to external, and replace with HDD. This should do the trick..

    Can everyone confirm that this is specifically the 5558 model.

    • NigelTufnel on 29/01/2016 - 12:33

      Yeah, that's the model I've been using on all my searches for things.

      • seigweilo on 29/01/2016 - 14:31

        How are you finding the touchpad? I've DL'ed the latest drivers but the 2 finger swipes to scroll down pages is very glitchy, even with inertia.

        Have tried 3 OS'es already to no avail.

        • NigelTufnel on 29/01/2016 - 14:35

          I haven't found any issues with 2 finger scrolling. The 3 finger gestures are a bit hit and miss, but I don't think I'd use them much anyway.
          What do you mean 3 OS'es? You mean different versions on Windows? Or have you but Linux on or something?
          I've just stuck with what it came with W10 home.

        • seigweilo on 29/01/2016 - 20:55

          @Jonaseymour:

          I installed Windows 8, 8.1, and currently using 7 Ultimate to test the apps that I'll be using. The 2 finger scroll stutters a lot. Oh well, I'll be using the mouse more with this setup anyway.
