A great price for the i7 version of this machine. Check out the past ozbargain deals on this, the i5 version is currently selling for $1124 @ Dell

Adorama is one of US's biggest camera companies, not sure how their service compares to amazon or B&H, but they should be also pretty good.

Make sure you go via the deal link as well (appears to be a link sent via email), otherwise price will appear as $70 more expensive.

      Almost the same specs as the XPS13 apart from that, which isn't worth ~$500 more, which makes this a good deal.

      For those who want a quick video as to why TB3 is/will be so important:

      US prices don't include tax because it varies per state.

      At just under the $A1000 limit, you won't pay GST.

      In five months time we'll be paying GST on many more imports thanks to Joe Hockey dropping the A$1000 threshold.

    Bothers me that this "i7" is a dual core. Quad core's should be the bare minimum in 2016. At this rate it's going to take eons to get to laser guns and hover cars.

        Same reason the people who comment in the cheap slate threads that 2GB of ram isn't enough get downvoted.

        It is what it is, that's the product, this deal isn't for a quad core Dell Inspiron 13.

    • [Deactivated] on 22/07/2016 - 15:05

      Don't forget that 1080p screens still doesn't come Standard on low end mobile devices which is pathetic considering how old the technology is. Yet companies are crying their sales are going going down. It's time they stop trying to milk consumers and they might see a change.

      • Diji1 on 22/07/2016 - 16:48

        Not offering what you want isn't "milking consumers".

        • gtech on 22/07/2016 - 18:07

    Will this laptop play games like league of legends well?

    • alikazi on 22/07/2016 - 15:17
      -3

      Nope. Stay away from "Intel HD Graphics 520 with shared graphics" if you want to think about gaming. One might argue that "Intel graphics are powerful enough now" etc. but the simple answer is No. You don't want to be stuck with no dedicated graphics in case you desire to play more games in future.

      • railspider on 22/07/2016 - 15:56
        +6

        i7 shared graphics aren't great, but it will absolutely play League of Legends at medium settings. I've played Starcraft 2 on a very similar device with no issues.

        • FutureTech on 22/07/2016 - 21:07

          How about GTA5 @ medium settings?

        +1

        One might argue that "Intel graphics are powerful enough now" etc. but the simple answer is No.

        Very uninformed answer because Intel Iris Pro iGPU offers performance that is equivalent to low or mid range discrete cards.

        • alikazi on 22/07/2016 - 23:00

          Read my comment again, I am talking about gaming in general not only a specific game. That was the whole point of saying "One might argue that Intel graphics are powerful enough". And you did just that.

    • hmac on 22/07/2016 - 15:44

      ignore alikazi
      Simple answer is yes it will play LOL well! skylake core i7 and hd graphics is more than enough for that game, even an i5 is enough!

      • alikazi on 22/07/2016 - 23:01
        -4

        Read the comment again. Did I mention LOL anywhere? I am talking about gaming in general.

        • illumination on 23/07/2016 - 16:27
          +1

          You didn't mention LOL anywhere, but the question was "Will this play LOL well?". Your answer was "Nope." followed by an elaboration. Read your comment again.

        • alikazi on 23/07/2016 - 17:20
          -6

          @illumination: So your literal assumption is that the OP is only ever going to play LOL his entire time. Nothing else? Ever? Also, the question was games LIKE LOL. Dota 2 is the same genre as LOL. It needs dedicated graphics. Isn't then your recommendation of shared graphics wrong?

        • illumination on 23/07/2016 - 17:31
          +1

          @alikazi: Oh I have no expertise on this so I am not sharing my opinion on it (cause I have no idea). I am not trying to say whether you're wrong or right. I didn't recommend anything.

          However, based on these two comments here and here, it can play LOL (and games such as LOL, such as Dota 2 to use your example).

          I am replying to you because you are telling people to read your comment again, when your initial comment clearly says "No" in response to the question asked yet you keep somehow insisting you were not referring to specific games.

          Sure, maybe that was your intention but the "nope" at the very front of your comment actually gives an answer which contradicts what other people are saying.. and then you come back and keep saying "No, I didn't say it can't play LOL".

          It's just a bit ridiculous that you've clearly said "no it can't play LOL", yet despite your comment being up there in black and white, you somehow expect people to know that you are referring to games in general..

      But a lot depends on your use-case. I never play games, and don't care about video editing etc. I'd rather spend the extra money on more RAM, bigger storage etc. To each their own I guess.

      • cakesy on 22/07/2016 - 16:08

        Even video editing isn't going to suffer with an internal GPU.

        • c0balt on 22/07/2016 - 17:07

          Yeah, actually integrated graphics is significantly worse for editing/rendering. By a huge margin.

        • cakesy on 22/07/2016 - 17:57
          -1

          @c0balt: Rubbish. Rendering, maybe. But editing it would make very little difference. All you are doing is showing images on a screen.

        • c0balt on 22/07/2016 - 18:55
          +1

          @cakesy:

          Ummm I'm an editor.. there's these things called graphics, titles, effects, transitions, grading, balancing and more that most definitely need to be rendered in real time to be displayed. Start loading these up and you will start to drop frames on even the greatest GPUs available. Also there are codecs out there that actually need high end GPUs just to be debayered and displayed (you ever heard of RED?)

          Anyone who has edited videos would know this, so you have never edited?

          Suggesting editing is just displaying videos shows that you have very little idea of what editing is. You really, really have no idea what you are talking about, Sorry. You may want to check my post history before making a suggestion about what I do or don't know when it comes to devices in the TV/Film production space.

          Now go ahead and reverse your neg, unless you want to be seen as a spiteful person in addition to having no clue about what 'editing' requires.

          @c0balt:

          Guys, if you are going to neg - please at least say why the advice is wrong.

          As is, Cakesy's advice could make an ozbargainer purchase a laptop for editing that it will preform poorly at compared to a laptop with a dedicated GPU, and you will just be helping that happen.

        • cakesy on 25/07/2016 - 08:48
          -1

          @c0balt: Look mate, unless you are a professional editor, assisting Spielberg, you don't need a separate graphics card. If you edit the odd movie, chuck some simple effects and titles on there, you do not need it.

          If you are into rendering over your videos every day, then sure, get a dedicated GPU.

        • c0balt on 25/07/2016 - 09:05

          @cakesy:

          Even basic editing, editing for school or uni needs a dedicated GPU. Rendering isn't something you want to sit and wait for, it's something an editor needs to be done in real time. There is no compromise there no matter if you work for Spielberg or thowing together a clip for a school project. Then on top of all that when it comes time to transcode and publish your edits (which is the point of editing, to make a new cut and publish it) you need high end gear to cut down on the silly amount of time it can take to render out the file.

          To suggest integrated is fine is some really negative and bad advice for anyone considering getting into editing.

          You need to know when you are out of your element and you are out of your element. Have some decency.

    I purchased a Toshiba from Adorama eBay and it arrived in good time. But after two months the glue and connectors between LCD and screen backing started to come apart and the hinge on the right hand side started to fail. There is no international warranty on Toshiba (I don't know about Dell) so I had to purchase international credit to call US 1800 support and now I'm in a dispute whether I am entitled to warranty support. I brought it into a Toshiba service centre in AUS last week and the agent told me it was a warrantable repair (that would be covered in Australia within 12 months of purchase) but since my warranty is in the US I'm required to go to them. But when I called them up they claimed limited warranty repairs are on hard drive failures only and they are not willing to fix the casing/screen (even though there is no physical damage to the screen or computer, just that the casing is loose because the adhesive is failing). I have not opened up the unit, or tampered with the screen so I'm going to elevate it with a supervisor late tonight (when I called the supervisor had gone for the day - US time) because this is clearly a manufacturer defect. I'm prepared to pay $80 postage but not $200+ repair on a computer that is a few months old with no damage to it inside of warranty period!

    Just a caveat about buying computers online from O/S! Many also reported issues with the touchpads on the Toshibas.

    Battery life so far (5hrs)
