    Can I ask which CPU is better? N3710 in this deal or Atom™ X5-Z8300?

    Also are both of the USB ports 3.0? Thanks.

    • leon_rox on 17/11/2016 - 09:53

      The N3710 CPU is 50% more powerful than the X5-Z8300. One of the ports is USB 3.0 and the other is USB 2.0. Hope that helps!

    Can i ask should i get this xps13 with i5 or i7 ? Is the difference in performance noticeable?
    And also in battery life

    • ShamelessBargains on 17/11/2016 - 10:00
      +3

      Difference in performance is not that noticeable and there is a small saving if you move down to the i5 model.

      Battery life will be good on both, not having much luck finding a comparison on 2016 models but a bit more on the i5.

        Ordered..!!! Now the waiting begin..(will be my first ultrabook)

        I'll be upgrading from a ASUS N61j + Samsung SSD (back from 2010)

        Intel® Core™ i7 Processor 720QM : 1.60 GHz with Turbo Boost up to 2.80 GHz
        ATI Mobility™ Radeon® HD 5730, 1G DDR3 VRAM

        do you think it worth the upgrade?

        • ItsMeAgro on 17/11/2016 - 11:45
          -4

          do you think it worth the upgrade?

          Err… no, not for 99% of people… why would you upgrade if you already have an i7 laptop?

          You'd be hard pressed to notice any difference for most uses… what do you use it for that needs fast multicore performance?

        • [Deactivated] on 17/11/2016 - 11:48

          Definitely worth it. Its time to upgrade your first generation i7.

          You'll enjoy the 'lightness' and 'build quality' more than the specs/overall performance.

          Overall performance - not a lot has changed in last few years.

          ASUS n61, i still have mine though with ssd installed. Great laptop, did sterling service for years and still runs well.

        • Zenskas on 17/11/2016 - 13:40
          +4

          The difference will actually be far bigger than some of these replies point towards.

          Simply looking at the PassMark scoring shows a big difference to CPU performance-
          i7-720QM: 3043 points (873 single threaded)
          i7-7500U: 5390 points (1998 single threaded)

          Or if you got the i5 model you are still looking at 4798 points or 1776 in single threaded.

          Now look at the huge difference in single threaded performance…a good indication that any single app will run much faster even if it's not able to make use of multiple cores/threads. It's well over double!

          Not to mention huge improvements in sub-system performance that you will likely notice even more. Memory bandwidth, chipset bandwidth, USB 3.0, SATA 3, and without even looking it's probably even got a better GPU too. The old ASUS will be limiting the speed of the SSD to a maximum of 300MB/s for read/writes, which is considered pretty slow for SSD's nowadays.

          All in all I think you are going to see a very noticeable difference, even if you don't use it for anything too intensive :)

        • p0c1 on 17/11/2016 - 16:22

          @bennos:

          Yeah I'm still enjoy using it till now, and the mid life SSD + RAM upgrade definitely helps the performance a lot, also i did re-do the thermal paste as well.

          cons,

          • First generation i7 (overheat way too quickly) I've only used Balanced profile battery profile now (High performance is a no..no..)
          • Heavy laptop (close to 3kg)
          • Battery is next to nothing now (only last 30 secs.. literally 30 seconds..)
          • Screen resolution (1360 x 768)
          • Wi-fi chip only able to pick up 2.4 ghz signal
          • and lastly.. it's 6-7 yr old now..

          overall i really enjoyed the laptop, but I think an upgrade definitely needed..

      • p0c1 on 19/11/2016 - 23:14

        Just realised it came with Windows 10 Home Edition not the Pro

        any major difference?

  • DirtyBoots on 17/11/2016 - 10:05

    How are the specs of the XPS 'future proofed'?

    • ShamelessBargains on 17/11/2016 - 10:07
      +1

      8gb of ram will be fine for the next few years as opposed to the 4gb on most ultrabooks. 7th gen i7 processor packs reasonable performance and a 256gb SSD is just the right size and you won't run out of storage for a couple of years for regular users.

      • DirtyBoots on 17/11/2016 - 10:37
        -1

        That all sounds reasonable, but packaging it up in the words 'future proof' is a little misleading (by that logic you could say that anything with decent specs is future proofed, even though something could happen tomorrow which would render it obsolete).

        • g23united on 17/11/2016 - 11:02

          It has a USB Type-C Thunderbolt 3 port

          Definitely something to look out for when considering a laptop. We'll see more and more peripherals be released in the near future that will utilise this port.

    • ShamelessBargains on 17/11/2016 - 10:26

      yeah its a portable powerhouse for the price.

    • nuchalis on 17/11/2016 - 12:44

      This specific one? I'm tempted, would like something for basic browsing/writing, but I always assumed the screen would be distractingly nasty?

      • littleannie on 17/11/2016 - 15:32
        +1

        The screen is definitely the weakest part. The problem is to get a real upgrade to the screen (ie 1080 resoultion) you're paying so much more money - hundreds more.

        I'd put this in the category - perfect for kids for school (cheap and tough) and for people for aren't screen fussy.

    • paul04 on 17/11/2016 - 13:38

      I can't find anywhere if it has a touch screen, does anybody know?

  • RubenM on 17/11/2016 - 10:25

    If you don't mind a refurbished one, this might be worth considering, it's what I got: http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/fairfield/laptops/dell-inspir…

    Same laptop, but slightly different CPU (same performance), however, it does come with a touch screen and the 43 Wh battery instead of the 32 Wh one. Worth the $11 premium for me.

    • dav3 on 17/11/2016 - 10:43

      Personally I'd prefer a 12 month warranty on a new device through a major company, than a 30 day warranty on a used device through a backyard operation. But each to their own, they're both good laptops at a good price.

    Dell Inspiron 11 N3710 Quad core/4gb/128gb for $319.20

    As the main Dell 'customise' page does not allow for more than 4gb RAM, I dare say it's a safe bet it can't be upgraded higher later?

    How long might I expect this price to last on the $319 laptops? Going to see if I can fix my kid's desktop by replacing a few components and reinstalling the OS this weekend. But for what I paid for it I'd be hard-pressed to drop too much into it.

    He put that thing through a lot before it finally gave up. If I can't get it working again I'd like to get something inexpensive like that cheaper laptop.

        • ShamelessBargains on 17/11/2016 - 13:14

          Will be on par with that processor, SSD will be faster and battery life will be better on the Dell. Screen resolution will be the same and keyboard on par. Tbh unless you need better battery life or the Samsung is breaking down, the Samsung should be suffice for the time being.

        Agree - i just spent an hour googling the difference. It appears that you get better graphics performance (10-15%) out of the Iris 540 than the HD 620. I am leaning towards buying last year's model for $150 less with a marginally slower CPU.

  • capnstoobie on 17/11/2016 - 11:22

    • dav3 on 17/11/2016 - 11:52

      It's good enough, considering the quality and size of the screen a smaller res would probably make it tough to read.

      You get used to it IMO.

    • Its4me on 17/11/2016 - 15:41

      I'd rather have a higher resolution screen in this size; my 6 year old Acer has 11.6" at 1366x768 and it looks fine enough.

      I don't want a higher res screen enough to justify spending 5 times as much on an XPS 13 with everything soldered onto the motherboard.

      • StrayfireX on 17/11/2016 - 18:16

        While in Indonesia my daily driver is a Lenovo x120e from 5 years ago and the 11.6" screen is honestly fine for light browsing.

        The Dell 11.6" netbook is actually pretty tempting for me. :)

    Gah, it's 2016, we've had 7 revisions of the Intel Core i-series line and we still don't have a freaking low-power quadcore. Just put two Core Ms without an IGP on one chip and add the IGP back, Pentium D style. 15w quad. I wouldn't pay $1500 for a machine with a dual-core in 2016 tbh

    • ItsMeAgro on 17/11/2016 - 11:51

      It's because nobody realises some laptop i7s are only dual core. I was pretty shocked when I found out. Most people who know a bit about computer specs are used to desktops, where i7 means at least 4 cores…

      • Tech and cars on 17/11/2016 - 12:11

          some, not all. The higher end processors are 35/45W parts, instead of these 15w u-series parts. 15w low-power quads would be really nice, as they are all dual cores with hyper threading at the moment

    I bought two of these last time there was the 20% off Ebay sale (same price as this) for my kids' BYOD computers for school… great little laptops for the price. 4Gb of RAM is double most at this price, and 128GB SSD drive is four times the usual you get around this price.

    For anyone getting this laptop, it's great for travel and university. If you're thinking of a getting a sleeve or a laptop case, i'd suggest taking the laptop in store and trying them out. Due to the bezel-less design the laptop is smaller more akin to a 11-inch laptop. I got a 11-inch case from JB-Hi-FI that fits it very snugly and adds a nice deal of protection. Also if anyone is like me and doesn't like the silver metallic finish, you could get a d-brand skin. I spec-ed mine to have a black carbon fiber theme and absolutely love it.
