    great deal!! Just bought one red color

  • DaTa on 19/06/2017 - 16:04

    I already got an ultrabook thinking this would be a good tax deduction and junker

      Lots of comments in previous deals, from a quick search:

      It's a great little laptop for travelling, good battery life too.

      TommyGun on 09/01/2017 - 14:36
      I was also impressed with the battery, 5-6 hrs use/ watching movies etc. At this price I throw it in my backback/ and take it on the road without worrying about it, micro SD card reader is super useful for moving gopro footage across and watching.

      sinners007 on 15/08/2016 - 23:18
      Battery life is excellent. 10 hours is about right. Opening EPL night I streamed 3 matches (5+ hours) and had plenty battery spare (about 30%).

      littleannie on 15/08/2016 - 23:28
      I got one last sale for my daughter for school. She has had no complaints about it (and she's definitely not one to hold back complaints). I would guess the battery has been lasting 7-10hrs for her (she often puts the brightness up to full).

    • Cooties on 19/06/2017 - 17:22

      I got one last sale a month ago - I'd say 10 hours is pushing it. 5-6 hours just web browsing on 50% brightness and its done. Still for the price its pretty solid and good enough

  • jimbler on 19/06/2017 - 16:10

    My gf is looking for something to play age of empires and Dota 2 potentially…anybody have real world experiences trying to play light games on this?

    • muncan on 19/06/2017 - 16:17

      Would suggest checking minimum screen resolution requirements for the games.

    • idonotknowwhy on 19/06/2017 - 16:34
      +4

      This would play:
      Age of Empire
      Age of Empires 2
      Age of Mythology*
      Perfectly on full setting
      Age of Empires 3 would be okay on medium settings

      *For AoM, delete the intel graphics dll, and copy the geforce 3 dll to the same name the intel dll had, to get it to render the graphics properly.

    • uknable on 19/06/2017 - 21:56

      I don't think this laptop would be able to play Dota 2. I've installed Heroes of the Storm on it and it barely reaches 10 fps on minimal settings

      • gmatht on 20/06/2017 - 10:28

        I find notebookcheck quite useful for this. I looked up the Pentium N3710 Integrated GPU

        Dota 2 Reborn 2015
        low 1280x720 22.1 35.2 ~ 29 fps
        med 1366x768 13.7 22.8 ~ 18 fps
        » The benchmarks indicate that the game is not playable in the tested settings.*

        Personally I'd probably find 22-35 fps playable for a non FPS, but YMMV. Clearly a better GPU would be better. There is also a youtube video of someone playing DOTA 2 on a N3700.

    • NightElfHunter on 22/06/2017 - 15:07

    Could it play civilization 5?

    • AngryBlobFish on 19/06/2017 - 18:08

      No, if it even starts up on that laptop it will run at around 5 FPS

    • NightElfHunter on 22/06/2017 - 15:08

    Mine arrived today and I'm very happy with it. I intend to use it exclusively as a travel laptop so the screen doesn't bother me (in fact it looks better than what I thought it would based on reading people's comments).

    Only annoying thing I'm finding is the trackpad mouse freezes sometimes for me when loading things like installing applications. This is quite annoying.

    • Kegsta on 19/06/2017 - 16:44

      Planning on doing the same.

      Would a tablet around the same price be better for watching movies on planes?
      How would battery life compare.

  • lippa on 19/06/2017 - 16:38

    Has anyone got these for their kids? My daughter starts Year 7 next year and they have the BYOD policy in place. Powerful enough? Im trying to steer her away from an iPad.

    • Halsmich on 19/06/2017 - 20:44
      +2

      I don't have one, but this should easily handle all of year 7's tasks, considering I was able to last year 7 to the start of year 11 with only an iPad 3.

    • ozbglow on 20/06/2017 - 07:07

      My 3 daughters use these every day at high school in year 10 and 11. Great battery life, boots up in around 10 seconds. Each one has a different colour. I checked the specs against the school's byod specs before purchasing.
      They use them with external monitors and mice at home.
      Much better than a chromebook at this price cos it runs office (free for students in nsw) and has local storage.
      ipad might be more convenient for consuming content but not for creating it.
      Not as sexy as the MacBooks many of their friends use but my girls don't care and are as bargain-conscious as me and realise we got 3 of these for less than 1 Mac.
      My kids also have more powerful PCs at home for occasional video editing.
      Great value laptop perfect for high school.

  • Seaword on 19/06/2017 - 16:40

    I have one. I use it on the couch looking at youtube/reddit etc and it works a treat. Screen is pretty good. I expected it to be like looking through a dirty window.

    Just took mine on a 3 week holiday around europe. Excellent battery and was perfect to watch tv shows on the plane. Fit on the fold out tray pretty well. Seems to hook up to wifi well and web browsing was quick. Very happy!

    • bargainhunt21 on 19/06/2017 - 17:53

      Did you use external storage for the TV shows/moves? If so which one. Or did you just store it on the 128GB SSD

      • carling on 19/06/2017 - 18:09

        no just loaded a few tv shows straight onto the ssd before i left.

        • bargainhunt21 on 19/06/2017 - 18:18

          Thanks, I'm travelling in Europe for a month in July.

          On a separate issue, did you get a data sim card for travelling Europe? If so, which one do you recommend. Or just rely on WiFi when it was available.

          @bargainhunt21:

          I bought this https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/306882
          Easy to activate, never went close to going through the 12gb. Calls and texts only worked in UK but data was fine in the other countries. Just had to pop in the sim when I landed and never had to register or anything, very easy.

          I see the company is selling the same sim card for a slightly higher price at the moment.

  • bargainist on 19/06/2017 - 20:25

    Worth replacing my iPad Air in terms of screen quality and battery life?

    • fryandlaurie on 19/06/2017 - 21:30

      It is a lot worse in screen quality since it's low res and a cheap TN display compared to the high res IPS display of the ipad. I don't know about battery life but I doubt if this laptop could match the ipad's batter life in doing simple tasks. If you need a keyboard, I'd just buy a keyboard folio case for the ipad.

  • ynnad on 19/06/2017 - 20:33

    One of the better Ozbargain meme items!

    I've had mine for a few months and I really enjoy it. First thing I did was install Xubuntu as it just works so much better. With tlp, thermald and intel microcode I am getting 6-10 hours of real time usage. Very comparable to W10 without the headache.

    My usage scenario is for Uni - notes, study, assignments and research. It's handy to pop out in the train. Great performance too. I currently have about 10 Chrome tabs + 1 large pdf file open and I notice no lag whatsoever. Youtube works brilliantly. I bought a usb led lamp for low light environments to illuminate the keyboard.

    Moved over the Manjaro last week and it's even snappier and has better battery life than Xubuntu after a few tweaks. Super stable. Everything works OOTB including touchpad gestures.

    Screenshot

    I haven't needed anything more than 4gb of ram, especially since xfce is so light.

    • Ron Rodgerson on 20/06/2017 - 09:05

      This is great to hear that Linux works well. Thanks so much for posting that info. I'm keen to try this option as well although would need a dual boot as I have a few Windows only apps. Do you know/think dual boot work?

      • fryandlaurie on 20/06/2017 - 09:26
        +1

        No worries. Dual boot definitely works without any issue.

        You could run a windows VM inside Linux for the few windows apps you require.

    I made a post on this laptop for an earlier deal. I'll just copy and paste it over.

    Hey internet strangers! I purchased this laptop last time it was on sale and I've been using it for highschool the past couple of weeks. Below is a link to an overview I made on the laptop itself with some more technical information included too.

    http://imgur.com/a/tyEiB

    A big tl;dr: A great laptop for the money. An included SSD is perfect for productivity and really defined this laptop deal.

    The processor is actually really nice and isn't going to hold you back if all you're doing is some productivity. Even decent for some older and less-demanding games and 3D rendering.

    Battery life varies depending on what you're doing
    But the ¬9 hour of battery life in video playback is pretty accurate. When I'm rendering it can drop down to 2 hours easily or float around 5+ hours with some heavier productivity.

    It is upgradeable to 8gb of ram though I heavily doubt you'll take advantage of it so it's really not worth the trouble imo.

    Check the link for some more insight, but a decent screen when adjusted.

    Feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer :)

  • fryandlaurie on 19/06/2017 - 21:47

    Has anyone looked into whether an IPS screen could be fit into this laptop? I see quite a few IPS screens for sale on alibaba/aliexpress. I'd just need to confirm the connector and it should theoretically work.

    • skillet on 20/06/2017 - 09:44
      +1

      This is awesome idea but the size is pretty off and IPS would usually be FHD.

  • stereo95 on 20/06/2017 - 00:46

    I just purchased one of these. Went through the purchase process and before I knew it sale was completed at $399 with no option to enter 20% discount code.

    I have written to Dell asking to cancel sale or apply 20% discount.

    Anyone have any other ideas?

  • pencilman on 20/06/2017 - 07:51

    This who own this laptop, how's the sceen brightness and visibility since it's not on IPS display.
    Can you compare it to a MacBook Air 11 inch?

    • ozhunter68 on 20/06/2017 - 10:23

      Why compare this model with such a low price for what you get with a MacBook Air 11" which is more than triple the price usually?

      Anyway, I'll have a rough shot at it anyway. The panel on Dell is less in every way compared to MacBook Air but still very usable.

      Oh,….one plus for the Dell panel, might consume less power than a panel that is brighter and had more pixels lol.

      • pencilman on 20/06/2017 - 10:50
        +1

        I mainly use Apple machines, so these are my frame of reference.

        The Macbook air 11 inch doesn't have a particularly good screen. In fact that is it's main deficiency for me compared to the more modern Macbooks with Retina quality screens. Still - it is perfectly usable and good for what it needs to do.

        My interest in the Dell 11 inch is as an Ozbargain bargain (ha ha). Thinking - If I can get a decent machine for just over $300 then why not?

        But if the screen is crappy it will just end up where all my other unwise Ozbargain purchases end up, in storage deep in the mess of my study… Hence the question.

        I don't need high resolution, but a dim, hard to read screen would be torture.

        • fryandlaurie on 20/06/2017 - 11:16
          +2

          The dell has a low nit screen. Many reviews online mention this. It's less than the ideapad 100 for example.

          Better off getting the touch screen model when it's available in the outlet or looking into the Toshiba Chromebook 2

        • ozhunter68 on 20/06/2017 - 11:22
          +1

          Fair enough. Even as OzBargainers we all have different budgets/needs/minimum requirements and even Wants/often Wishes, and sometimes we can even get damn lucky and get a super Bargain.

          But at the end of the day, when buying new, especially if buying locally, usually within 30% or so we get what we pay for. If this computer retailed in a bricks and mortar shop for between $350 to $450 or so, your getting something average for that price, pretty much what to expect.

          Yes, compared to a IPS screen the colours might look a little dull and lacklustre, but for word processing and web browsing it get's the job done. The matt screen is a bonus for some.

          If your budget allows you to spend hundreds more than this ( probably need to spend over $500 with similar specs ), you can get a better screen than this.

      You might really like it, especially over time. Have had and happily used a white ( with silver dotted speckles ) Asus 15.6" laptop for over 3 years now as my daily driver, and although a little hesitant in the beginning, grew to like it more and more.

      Love the black keys with white background on keyboard, and does not get as dirty as I thought it might. Oh,..not that I care too much, but other people seem to like the white on my laptop too.

        So I finally got the tracking info email later that evening (21st). Dell was estimating delivery for Friday (23rd) and Startrack were estimating delivery for Monday (26th). Thankfully it was neither and when I checked the tracking this morning it was onboard for delivery today (22nd). Was delivered by the time I got home.
        The red looks much better in person.

      • NightElfHunter on 24/06/2017 - 10:57

        The display out of the box is a bit washed out. But there is an option in the display settings to increase the saturation to get more realistic colours.
