I think you know a lot about computers, is this good for high school kid?
my sister broke her laptop and I bought one and thinking will return it later if it's not that good.what are the advantage and disadvantage of the device?
It's heavy and not recommended as a school laptop. A Dell Inspiron 11 3000 will probably be a better choice. Maybe even the Lenovo E470 if they want something a little sturdy.
I would probably use this as a desktop given it's heft and low resolution display
Deal is over now though.
Thanks for your reply, I already bought one. Couldn't resist the price.
How much is this Dell? And how about specs which is better if the weight not a problem?
oh, congrats on scoring one.

CPU power is not as fast … maybe around a third, but it's 1.18 Kg weight and 10 hour battery life is a better fit for a student who wants to bring a laptop to school everyday.
What do you mean "if it's not that good…." and under what terms of Australian Consumer Law would you believe you have a right to a refund?
I meant I will return it to the store without using it. As didn't have time to check if the deal/specs are good or not. Prefer to able to score one and think later about it.

Hmmm…
No SSD :(
Easy enough to put one in.
1366 x 768 in 2017. PASS
I was about to buy but then I saw the crappy display!!!
"HD".. yeah, right.
It actually is more than HD but not Full HD. 1280 x 720 is HD in video terms.
I don't even know why anything under 1920x1080 (or 1200) is even available anymore… especially in an i7 laptop with 4gb of GPU ram…
how to fool the uninformed consumer 101
i was saying this crap in 2014.. cant believe it still gets said in 2017. phones dont even come with this crappy res
My watch has almost half the vertical resolution of this
I don't understand why everyone is complaining about the display… This is a basic, cheap laptop.
I have an old Samsung laptop with a 1366 x 768 display, and have never had a single issue with the display on it, which is clear and easy to read and view videos on.
Do you know if it's possible to output at 1920 x 1080 if it's connected to a compatible monitor (e.g. via hdmi)?
I know the screen res is limited to 1366 x 768 but was wondering if you can bash out full HD if we use an external monitor.
Usually can, especially given graphics ram.
Display
15.6 in diagonal HD BrightView WLED-backlit (1366 x 768)no deal
HD screen. are we still in the 90s?
I don't recall HD screens being available in the 90s
my PC monitor from 1997 had 1024x768 resolution. that's HD without being wide screen.
exactly. That really (should) put this screen in perspective
OMG, someone bought 3 of this 3 hours ago at $899…wasted!

gotta assume a Nintendo switch is next because people said they were playing one in the stream
what stream?
No SSD, SD as well. Cheap but no cigar.
It's a pass to me too… Macbook Pro still going strong.
Lol yeh nah. Maybe if I was still living in 2012.
This coming from the guy whos avatar is from cs…
You mean the game that is constantly on the Steam list of top 5 games with the highest number of players?
What does that have to do with anything?
The game was released in 2012..@Originality: that game is older than the prehistoric age, the only reason it has that count is because its cheap and everyone can play it.
Yeh, that's why it has its own championships with prize pools worth millions. Ever thought it's just a good game? By your logic, all free games should have the largest player bases in the world.
@nurries: i can tell you right now that the reasons above are absoulutely why ' the game that is constantly on the Steam list of top 5 games with the highest number of players?' is csgo, i've had alot of experience, pal.
Look at that poor bigger who bought 3 @ $899 at 5pm today. Oh dear.
May his wallet rest in peace…
Fortunately, he'll never know because he'll never do anything googling to get here.
No need at all… but still would consider if it is a dell model
Screen.. No deal..
will there be another mega deal?
Yes 1 more at 9
is it 6-9pm every Wednesday ?
this month only
@aldoboy: I got my hands on the mavic, STILL not shipped which is pretty upsetting. :( But I'm kinda ok with it because it was that cheap.
@ash2000: It would not let me add the discount code, and it was selling quickly so I just bought it for
$999Clever. I've missed stuff b4 by trying to get codes to work. You would have been mortified if you missed out. I'm mortified I missed out and I only found out about that offer tonight.
I had to buy those bloody saucepans just to settle my nerves!
boy i would hate to be the the guy that purchased 3 today at 5pm for $899 each
Why would they put a megadeal on something which had barely any stock? It sold out in 4 mins.
I bet none of these people noticed the resolution. 7 days later ****SURPRISE****
yeah, lol, I would barely even be fine with that res back in 2009
Oh, and its back in stock
Back in stock
Too bad it's not:
4k display
1080ti card
980gb SSDAll for $450
Too bad.. We sometimes do get ahead of ourselves on this site lol
Nah, just 1080p.
its not even much to ask. even 1600x900 would be ok.
yeah i think the theme in this listing is that 1080p is now the norm …… even getting hard to get a 1080p tv as many are now moving to uhd…….. you can add memeory or swap a he'd for an ssd but you can't swap the display……..
That laptop is sporting the same screen resolution as my current 2012 Samsung laptop. I can't fathom who would want anything less than 1080p these days.
Samsung 2012 laptop user reporting in. What a fine unit it has been!
Still going strong. Not much good for gaming, but I put an SSD in it a couple years ago & it feels like a new machine haha https://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Samsung-RF511-Notebook.…
187 units is a fair amount of stock for a laptop I'd say.
Might have something to do with the poor display resolution in a laptop with otherwise high end components I'd say…
Correction. 287
Damn another tech product but who uses 15" these days?
What? Who doesn't? I'm pretty sure 15" laptops would be the most popular size sold.
I would say at least 80% of laptops at my uni are using a 13" Macbook Air or 13" Macbook Pro
Same. I don't know why they don't use Lenovo though. At the airport it's a mix of macs and lenovos. All the execs seem to use lenovo when you actually need to do something productive other than photoshop or facebook.
@Gallifr3y: That may be true for Universities, but I think overall sales data would show 15" laptops outsell 13" ones. I see far more 15" laptops used in businesses than 13" ones. With laptops like Dell's XPS15 9550 / 9560 (which has a 15" screen size in what is effectively a 14" form factor) I think it will stay that way for a while.
Everyone that's doing more than checking Facebook…
it's too hard to get 17" unless you are into macs so 15 " is a big a laptop as is readily available .
Apple haven't done a 17" laptop since 2011.
Every HP laptop I've had died within 2 years.
I think it's still in stock
wow that sold quick!
Gone Again!
Got one, the display doesn't both me, not at that price anyway
i hope next hour will be something actually good
lol at RRP.
No SSD, not FHD, and GPU equiv to a GT920M (LOL).
Should be priced at $999 RRP IMO.
Should be around $800
Great price. I was at the checkout stage when I realised it said no PO Box (and probably no Parcel Locker). Hesitated, and then out of stock. Oh well…. waiting for a $10 cutlery set next to make myself feel better
its' back.
I saw! Refreshed page and got it at checkout stage! Thanks for letting me know
back in stock
At that price though with those specs couldn't you just use it as a desktop with an external display and still be miles ahead in value?
Back in stock
It's all the people who didin't complete check out i think
there's actually 550 in stock, they must have split the inventory into halves and scheduled it to restock 10 mins after the first batch ran out.
another 350 coming
Too cheap. Think this will go faster than the QC.
