      Dell's official claim is 10 hours and Pcadvisor has it at 9 and a half hours of looped video so it should easily surpass 6 hours.

        Is that a joke? of cause they do, I dont even know any schools that use laptops, they bought out all these macbooks couple of years ago and they gave up on that silly idea at my kids high school.

          Is that a joke? Of course you don't have to go back to school.

          BTW they had all sorts of trouble - kids that couldn't write and therefore were slow doing their Year 12 handwritten exams, and just the usual calamity of trying to keep a PC alive. Then there's the ergonomics…

        • [Deactivated] on 22/02/2017 - 08:19

          @JimmyTheMan:

          Any now with more and more testing going online (i.e. NAPLAN/ACER-PAT) the schools that ditched the laptops will be in the same position.

          In my adult life, I have never had to hand-write multiple pages. I don't think I've even handwritten a paragraph in the last 5 years.

        • HugoHugo on 22/02/2017 - 09:47

          @sletts: Kids these days get more than enough screen time and computer usage at home. I seriously doubt they'll be disadvantaged by online testing.

        The screen probably, cruddy viewing angles, power button sits slightly recessed and isn't all that tactile so it's a bit iffy to tell whether you've actually turned it on some times

        • Autonomic on 22/02/2017 - 00:03

          The screen is the one thing I'm a little worried about. I might buy one anyway and return it if I don't like it. Thank god for PayPals free returns.

      Nope, that'd be insane at this price! Easy to replace with any 2.5" SSD though if you want to upgrade.

    • ozhunter68 on 21/02/2017 - 22:16

    Got one in the last deal. Upgraded to 8GB DDR3L and it runs quite well. A little slow on some sites but overall browsing is a positive experience. Be careful when removing the base cover when upgrading RAM/SSD, the plastic bezel around the HDMI port is part of the base cover and it's very flimsy - almost snapped mine off.

    On a side note, I've installed MS Office 2013 and downloaded all the available Win10 updates and there's 71GB left of the 128GB SSD.

    • donnot on 21/02/2017 - 22:44
      +1

      Definitely worth trying Disk cleanup to see if you can free up any space. Need to open disk cleanup, wait for it to load, click "Clean up system files" and get rid of all of the Windows update etc data. Can amount to quite a large proportion of storage on smaller drives (I freed ~10GB on my SP3 64GB which, proportionally, is quite a lot).

      • [Deactivated] on 21/02/2017 - 22:48
        +4

        Did that. Reclaimed about 3GB.

    • [Deactivated] on 21/02/2017 - 23:24
      +5

      Note the stress marks in the plastic bezel around the HDMI port and that it doesn't sit flush anymore. That was the result of only very minimal force.

      Also, the base cover has a fake indent around it which gives the illusion that the sides aren't part of it. http://imgur.com/a/0GC1v

    • Autonomic on 22/02/2017 - 09:54

      You can disable pagefile and hibernation to save space. I think each file is 8GB.

    • 4wd on 22/02/2017 - 14:02
      +4

      I also upgraded to 8GB, used a cut up CC to lever the side of the case out away from the HDMI port before lifting the main assembly out - no stress marks and it went back together flush.

      Upgraded it to Windows 10 Pro (gives me Bitlocker, GPEditor, and Linux Subsystem), disabled the pagefile, recovers ~1.2GB, installed ImDisk Toolkit and created a Dynamic 2GB RAM drive, all temp files diverted to that.

      Repartitioned the SSD:
      C: 58.5GB (34GB Free)
      D: 50.7GB (50.2GB Free)

      Downloaded the 6.8GB Recovery ISO, reformatted the 8.84GB Recovery partition and use it for portable applications, (such as Softmaker Office 2012 which is only 82MB), currently 6.77GB free.

      Currently 93GB out of 120GB free with the system up-to-date, most of the Dell software and MS "apps" uninstalled.
      Only a few installed programs: DOpus 12, iDrive, Vivaldi, AOMEI Backupper, Keepass2, VeraCrypt (although I'll probably switch completely to Bitlocker on this), XNView, VPN, etc.

      64GB Toshiba Exceria U3 MicroSD Bitlocker'd and plugged in for private files.

      Still a little more tuning to do on it such as services.

      • [Deactivated] on 23/02/2017 - 11:02

        These are examples only, you can find both cheaper if you snoop around. I'd even consider buying the RAM secondhand from a reputable seller for about $40.

        8GB DDR3L 1600 Mhz laptop RAM PC3-12800 1.35v low voltage

        • [Deactivated] on 24/02/2017 - 10:21
          +1

          @melfes: I would think so. The RAM slot on the motherboard has a warning "DDR3L ONLY" printed on it. No other specifications are noted.

      • 4wd on 23/02/2017 - 11:19

        I used a Crucial 8GB DDR3L 1600MHz SODIMM (1.35V CL11) which was $69 at MSY - it was the cheapest I could find at the time, (2 weeks ago).

        MSY no longer seem to have it, cheapest they have is Kingston 8GB DDR3L 1600MHz SODIMM @ $75.

        SSD: I'd probably get the cheapest because this is OzBargain :)

        In reality, depends on your usage case, I'll be dragging it OS soon for a few months, anything vitally important will be stored on the encrypted MicroSD, flash drive (including recovery image), and online. So for me, I'd be happy with Sandisk Plus or similar low cost SSD.

        EDIT: 17mins slow :)

    how fast is the cpu, compared to say, third gen i3? and 4g ram, is it really enough for internet surfing, etc? looking to buy one for my old man (dont want to let him use my own laptops)

    • scrimshaw on 21/02/2017 - 22:47
      +8

      Still slow compared to a Core i3 series but it's performance is very well suited to just browsing, simple officework and media consumption.

      That being said, you can't buy a Core i3 unit at $320 dollars, unless it's second hand.

    • donnot on 21/02/2017 - 22:49
      +2

      Enough for general internet surfing, but will choke up if you've got a few larger pages open (still usable). Performance would be on-par/similar to a low-power 3rd gen i3 such as the 3217U, but not something like a 3110M.

    I have one of these. I eventually installed Windows 7, drivers available from Dell, I find it an improvement. Also upgraded to 8GB RAM even though it's not necessary. With a heap of software installed I still have 90GB free on SSD. I have Macrium Reflect Free run a system image backup every week, makes it easy to keep eveything perfect. I'm tempted to grab another one even though I don't need it, it's just such a great deal. I can't remember being more happy with a purchase, no issues with HEVC/H.265 video or any other HD video I've thrown at it. A cheap unpowered USB3 Hub with LAN port completes it. Full size HDMI port is a bonus especially when travelling. As I'm not a gamer this has comfortably replaced my desktop.

    • [Deactivated] on 22/02/2017 - 02:15

      Hmm, thanks for all that.

      Macrium Reflect Free. Free. Nice.

      I got one of these, and was thinking of killing off Win10 as well, and installing Win7 which i still mainly use. All that Win8.1/10 crap just freaks me out.

      • reon on 22/02/2017 - 03:07

        please don't do that, win10 is alot faster than win7 on ssd, as it is optimised for it.

          Oh, is it?

          What about going to Win8.1Pro then, instead of Win10?
          I just use mobile broadband and the automated updates have already screwed me on this thing.

          I'm hoping to get voice recognition working on mine so optimisation is actually important…but all my software is still Win7 (or dare i say, WinXP which i still have on another partition - please don't shoot me).

          @JimmyTheMan:

          If you backup with Macrium you can try whatever OS you like, only takes 15 minutes to get back to your current install if you don't like it.

          Windows updates have optimised Windows 7 for SSDs. Win10 boots slightly faster (a few seconds), no argument there. Here's a decent side by side test showing performance and boot time on the same device with a clean install: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pskQl6FT-fY .

          I don't profess to be an expert but I can only share my expierience with this particular device, the Dell Inspiron 11 3000, and I find Win7 much better.

          I just don't like paying for new software…but i may need to get a more recent release of the voice stuff to get it working with the little processor in this thing…

        • reon on 23/02/2017 - 13:53

          @JimmyTheMan: nah win 8.1 is somewhat a failure, therefore they released 10 shortly after. Stick with win10, see if you like it, it's very snappy.

        The problem with your Mac isn't the CPU, it's the eye-wateringly small amount of RAM. The only real hope for it is switching to some flavor of Linux. Unfortunately OSX has become incredibly RAM hungry over the years.

        Aside from that, the CPU on this Dell is just a little slower than your current CPU, but it can take way more RAM.

          The free full featured version of Avast just adds more bloat. I used premium for about 6 months… while the Premium version added a hodgepodge of cool-sounding stuff, I never used any of them.

          The ONLY thing I found remotely useful was the free Secureline VPN service, which lets you use VPN for about 6-7 countries, which came in handy for overcoming geoblocks.

          The rest of the stuff, such as Browser Cleanup, Remote Assistance, Password manager, Anti spam. etc are all extra tools the user may not need (since there are better tools that you can find just by googling), but thankfully you can actually disable these prior to installing. However even if you don't install them, they may still run as a background service.

          I now use the Free version of Avast instead of the full paid version, since I disable the extra modules anyway there was no point in having the premium variant, and it uses less resident memory as a result.

      well, KIS was supposed to be one of the fast ones according to tests, and I already paid, oh well.

      I wonder what feature of KIS is slowing it down so damn much!

    Got one from the previous deal however the battery would not charge. The battery itself was OK but the AC adaptor was not recognised by the BIOS/MB. After much consternation they have finally accepted that it is a problem with the computer and not the user. Returned last week - awaiting replacement.
