    What's the best way to contact dell about this on the weekend?

  • mg_k on 25/02/2017 - 09:36

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the same laptop @ $999 selling from MS for same money?

    https://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Dell-XP…

    If this is correct why would you buy refurb instead of brand new from MS?

  • mg_k on 25/02/2017 - 09:44

    Questions -
    1) Can I claim TRS?
    2) Can one really tell the diff between FHD and QHD on a 13.3" screen?
    3) Is the RAM and SSD upgradeable?

    Thanks.

    • Rebs on 25/02/2017 - 09:58
      +3

      1) Price includes GST so you should be able to claim TRS
      2) Yes there's a difference. Note that the FHD is matte and non-touch while QHD+ is touch and glossy. FHD adds a couple of hours more battery life. Personal preference between the two. Good review covering the differences: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tP10A4tVfVM
      3) On the XPS13 only the SSD can be upgraded, on the XPS15 you can upgrade RAM and SSD.

      1. Not sure

      2. Aside from specific details posted above re these models… in general Yes, the icons and window chrome is smaller on higher resolution. So you get more working space on the screen.

      3. Almost certainly, within limits. However you would need to check specs of the actual model you were interested in.

  • Overtime2000 on 25/02/2017 - 10:37

    Feedback about dell's refurbished stuff anyone? Prices are nice, any reason why not to buy it? ;)

    • Ristretto on 25/02/2017 - 11:19

      I bought the refurb XPS13 QHD+ for $60 more about a month ago. First time buying refurb Dell.

      Condition I received was generally good. A tiny scuff on the top lid. The keyboard has minor discoloration which indicate use. Slight discoloration on the laptop where you normally rest your hands when typing.

      I have't seen the FHD but the QHD is an interesting feature. I'm not sure if I am making the most of it. I wish it came in matte though. The glare is somewhat annoying.

      Read a lot of reports about coil whine but I haven't noticed any at all.

    • simmybear on 25/02/2017 - 11:32

      I bought a refurbished XPS 15 9550 in December for about 1.8 or 1.9 as well and have had so many problems. First time was a sticky keyboard which they replaced. Then a week later, the laptop wouldn't turn on and they replaced the mother board. Now my speakers do not work. So now I'm returning it. Such a shame because the laptop itself is really nice.

    • Advv on 25/02/2017 - 13:07

      bought a refurb inspiron 13 7348 for $700 about 8 months ago.

      no issues at all. there was a tiny tiny mark which I found 3 months later but it looked brand new when i first got it.

    • PVA on 25/02/2017 - 22:08

      I bought a dell refurb a few years back. The laptop is still perfectly fine and used daily.
      Unit arrived looking brand new, the only thing I noticed was the power adaptor just had the leads wrapped with a rubber band, not in a plastic bag that's usual for something new..

    • willb on 26/02/2017 - 18:07

      I too bought a refurb a couple of months ago. Very minor cosmetic blemishes on the top cover. Otherwise looked new.

      Note the slight price differences in the 9550s.
      - with either Win10 pro vs home
      - Killer vs DW1830 wifi cards

      Quite a few ppl with have had wifi issues on the dw cards. (whilst this can be replaced yourself) driver updates are available for the dw card. (I personally haven't had major issues with the dw card - though it's not quite as good as my Macbook (signal strength wise)
      Given Dell themselves changed the subsequent 9550s/9560s to Killer cards - it's probably for good reason

  • rainbowyen on 25/02/2017 - 11:38

    Just a long time not asked question, can we claim cashreward from Dell refirbished store?

    • newox on 25/02/2017 - 11:53

      You can't order directly through the website. You have to talk to someone to order these deals so probably no. You'll get emailed a receipt after the chat

    • xdivino on 25/02/2017 - 11:53

      nope. only online transactions work with cashrewards.
      this is offline kinda card over the phone things so no way to track it.

    • tyb1987 on 25/02/2017 - 11:53

      I dont think you can.

    • lanjiao on 25/02/2017 - 11:54

      I'd guess no, because IIRC you had to chat to a dell employee to actually purchase the stuff

          Cashrewards would LOSE OUT big time if they followed this practice

        • TheOneWhoKnocks on 25/02/2017 - 17:01

          @shawncro 222: Double dipping is an OzBargain practice! Think about all the eBay sales.

      • AussieGargain on 26/02/2017 - 09:30

    It was kinda hard looking at all that info on a web page so I've dumped it into a sheet to filter out results.

    Maybe this could be useful to some:

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WyUQ9qVzpibtOll1SqQ7…

    I've split out 2 separate tabs for XPS 13 and 15 models. :)

    • Helenn on 25/02/2017 - 16:39

      That's awesome thank you! I would like to see which of the 15" have touch screens but I can't expand the cells to see the full entry. Maybe because I'm looking on mobile?

      • Excelsior on 25/02/2017 - 22:43

        No worries!

        It works on desktop so it must be an issue with mobile.

        But looking at the results I can only see 2 bundles that don't have Infinity Touch, which are:
        -DFO-3907682XL
        -DFO-4016304XL

        The rest have IT in the description. Hope this helps!

  • k on 25/02/2017 - 18:03

    I'm tempted to upgrade my 2011 MacBook Pro.

    Has anyone gone from Mac to Windows? I like my Mac because it works great with the iPhone and iPad. However it is getting really slow and takes a while to boot up and I don't really want to spend $2k on a new one. I also use a Windows computers at work and don't mind them.

    I always keep my eye on the Dell refurb outlet but what does it mean "OS Media not included"? Does it not come with the operating system?

    Cheers

    • Ristretto on 25/02/2017 - 21:47

      I think it means they don't give you the DVD which has the Windows OS. It comes with windows 10 home/pro pre-installed

    • Mr Mrrtn on 25/02/2017 - 21:57

      have you upgraded your Macbook's RAM and put in a SSD? that should make it feel anything from slow

      anyway, i've been using Macs for years and am now too planning to jump ship to windows. mainly because Apple is starting to lag behind in value for money on the laptop and ultrabook front. If you're ready to deal with virus protection and installing drivers again, Windows is the way IMHO

      Also, OS not included means you have to bring your own copy of Windows. Not a dealbreaker, especially if you are open to buying one of those OEM keys posted on Ozbargain for under $10

      • PVA on 25/02/2017 - 22:14
        +3

        No, that's not correct. Windows is installed and the backup is on a partition. It means there are no disks.

        • Mr Mrrtn on 25/02/2017 - 22:15

          i stand corrected, thank you for sorting that one out

        • PVA on 25/02/2017 - 22:21

          @Mr Mrrtn:
          It's only because I've bought one before. They should really state it better.

        • orbital on 25/02/2017 - 23:55

          If you swap out the SSD, how would you re-install windows? Could you save to USB and reinstall that way? assuming the OEM windows key would be on on a sticker?

          If you swap out the SSD, how would you re-install windows? Could you save to USB and reinstall that way? assuming the OEM windows key would be on on a sticker?

          If you want to do a clean install, just download the ISO directly from Microsoft and install it. Nowadays the key is saved in the BIOS for these branded computers so you don't have to enter anything in manually.

        • Gamb1t on 26/02/2017 - 21:42
          +1

          @eug: If you install the latest windows 10 updates, which should hopefully already be installed, you can link your microsoft account to your windows 10 licence. So when you do a clean install, and re-connect your microsoft account it should automatically pick up your license.

          I recently did this when I installed a NEW PCIe SSD as my new boot drive.

    • PVA on 25/02/2017 - 22:12

      It means no disks, it's all on the hard drive.
      I could seem to do a backup of the os when I bought mine so just got on their chat line and they posted out the windows os on USB to me, free.

  • orbital on 25/02/2017 - 23:52

    To confirm what I've read, the XPS 13's would come with Thunderbolt? ta

    • rlay3 on 26/02/2017 - 10:05

      Yep one thunderbolt 3

  • Ehx on 26/02/2017 - 06:49

    Which of these would you recommend to a computer science student? Was thinking the $999 xps 13 due to the FHD extending battery life. Not too sure yet though, idk if it's worth $999 for a refurb.

    • rlay3 on 26/02/2017 - 09:59

      The $999 is just fine for a comp sci student in terms of performance. I'd lean towards the FHD version too because of the battery life.

      If I can make a recommendation, the DFO-3835621XL for $1,079 is looking good. It is FHD, and for the extra $80 it has an i7 instead of an i5, which in this case is not that much more performance (maybe 5% improvement), but it has double the hard drive space (256GB instead of 128GB), and also has Intel Iris Graphics 540 which gives you around 40% better performance for gaming.

    • rlay3 on 26/02/2017 - 10:00

      Just wanted to add that I would get that one myself…but I'm a bit picky when it comes to the keyboard. I tried the XPS in store and I found the keyboard a bit too "mushy".

    • eagle90 on 26/02/2017 - 10:08

      they got only 1 DFO-3835621XL?

  • BargainBenno on 26/02/2017 - 08:20

      Dell Outlet service is always like that unfortunately. Sometimes you get a rep that goes above & beyond, but most act like they don't even want to make the sale.

      Best bet is to have a few order #'s queued up in case stock is gone, and always try for the order lots with multiple devices under the one code.

    Does anyone think that the Alienware Alpha R2 with 16GB DDR4 &256GB M.2 PCIe with NVIDIA(R) GeForce GTX 960 GPU with 4GB DDR5 worth it for $1,100? Not for me, I build mine, this is for someone far away from me so cannot do it for them!

    I managed to order an XPS 13 this morning (Wed 1st March). There appears to be quite a few 15 inch models left. I got onto a sales rep straight away and had the order complete in 20 minutes.
