    I bought this last week off the Dell site. Set it up last night. I love it, but I wish I had waited for this price. Is there any way of getting refund of the price difference from Dell?

    As an aside, if you buy this, I suggest you get a good mouse and keyboard as the one supplied is pretty average IMO.

    • tristanium on 30/06/2017 - 14:01

      yeah i was really close to pulling the trigger at $1679.04 (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/313995) but took a risk hoping for 20% ebay code for hump month.

    • Mr Kite on 30/06/2017 - 14:17

      I think Dell have a 15 day hand of mind return policy. You'd have to cover postage though. I'm not sure it extends to ebay purchases.

    • raiseyoursteaks on 30/06/2017 - 14:51

      man you guys… I bought this from Dell a month ago when they had their $500 cash back. Wish I waited. This machine is doing well for me.

    Everything has just gone cheaper since last week. Tomorrow price hike with the new tax laws is going to hurt

    • Jespur on 30/06/2017 - 14:08

      Isn't that only for digital goods? I'm still holding off on buying the XPS 13 laptop because I was waiting for a better deal but it actually got more expensive (they hiked the price by $100 2 weeks ago). Hope I don't regret not buying anything today.

      • DoesntEvenMatter on 30/06/2017 - 14:10

        No I'm pretty sure it for everything the $1k threshold to import duty is removed so will be charged for everything now. All becos of Harvey

          The funny thing is that even putting 10% on imports won't stop it. Because Australia always charges 50% premium when purchased domestically.

          Just the government trying to money grab some more to cover their stupid decisions which waste tax payer's money.

    This is the 21st century classic joke of Intel.

    While i7 3770 with 95% of the performance of the 7770. Price is only 10%.

    • Unrvl on 30/06/2017 - 14:30

      3770 isnt 95% of the 7700, more like 70-80%

      • ChubbyMastiff on 30/06/2017 - 14:38

        and price is only 10%

      • aboutconfig on 30/06/2017 - 15:11

        Only when you do number bench marking, it is around 78%

        However if you do daily office/home use/gaming bench marking, you are looking at 95% ~ 99%

        And what about the price?

        an E5 processor 5 or 7 years ago is faster than the shity 7700

          Clock for clock, the 7700 will be much faster for gaming. Source.

          The 7700 has a higher turbo clock than the 3770, so the gains will be larger than that.

          So if I am not a gamer then I am better off getting another PC, I guess? I have a very old PC that struggles for a little bit of video rendering, so I thought this might do the work until I saw your comment about gaming.

        • ChatCPT on 30/06/2017 - 14:37

    I've been contemplating this XPS over the past month with the 20% selected sellers code from eBay. Debated about it, but decided against it due to preferring to build a Ryzen system and the cost was nearly the same as DIY.

    With this extra discount, it is significantly cheaper than what I could build myself and I couldn't resist. Bought! Thank you so much for posting the deal :)

    My first PC in nearly 15 years of exclusively Mac systems, I can't wait!

    • TheGoodPart on 30/06/2017 - 15:34

        Hah thanks :) I was really looking forward to building a system from scratch, and making lots of mistakes along the way. But at this price I just couldn't resist.

        Last PC I used was just after Windows XP came out, I uhh, have a LOT of catching up to do hahah :)

        Any suggestions on tutorials/guides to software or anything else I should know?

        • Bargain Seeker on 30/06/2017 - 20:47

          As a mac user who switched for the cost of the new macs was way too high, I spent a lot of time with drivers and youtube. I even tried to install mac os x on it with virtual box and another virtualisation app. However was always way too slow to be useful.

          Uninstall anything you dont need, bloatware.
          Update all drivers
          Use Chrome as its the same on mac.
          Use VLC for media.
          itunes for tunes.
          Set the desktop image to a nice photo that mac uses too. Feels homely.
          Be patient with the trackpad and mouse set up. Not better than macs, but you will learn.
          Lots of youtubing and googling.

          Don't be silly with what you download etc.

          I wouldn't update drivers if it already works. I updated the audio driver on this and all the sound within a browser stuffed up. Had to revert back to the original to get it working.

      No.
      Whilst this deal was very good value, you have to be comfortable with a locked CPU, a very basic motherboard, a basic power supply and a case with a very basic design and dull aesthetic.

      • magic8ballgag on 30/06/2017 - 17:14

        a very basic motherboard

        What makes it that basic?

        It's BIOS might not be as customizable as some fancier motherboards, but it has some pretty decent features for a Dell-branded unit.

        • O15 on 30/06/2017 - 17:36

          I'm thinking this is something you're not going to appreciate unless you've worked with a decent board from the likes of ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, etc.

          One thing I will praise the board and case for, the four front USB 3.0. Very nice to see.

        • Fuzor on 30/06/2017 - 17:43

          @O15:

          Not sure if you're simply just assuming things but this board has the z270 chipset with the max amount of express lanes you can get and two m.2

        • O15 on 30/06/2017 - 18:05

          @fuzor:

          Proof this PC has a Z270 board?
          I'm thinking you don't understand how Intel's chipset naming works.

          Z270 is the chipset which supports overclocking on unlocked CPUs (unlocked multiplier). There is no reason for this PC to have a Z270 (or any Z series) board as it has a locked CPU (7700, not a 7700K).

          The eBay page clearly says "H170 or Z170 with Intel K CPUs only", neither of which are Z270.

        • Fuzor on 30/06/2017 - 18:25

          @O15:

          This is for the 8920 XPS model which only comes with 7th gen processor so its for the 200 series. I know this as I have bought this PC and knows that it comes with a limited z270 chipset even with an i5

        • O15 on 30/06/2017 - 18:25

          @Lorindor:

          The IO, the expansion slots (or lack thereof, in both cases), the BIOS/software, lack of MOSFET and VRM cooling, potentially proprietary (unclear in this case).
          I think listing more would be a waste of both our time.

          I really don't think you know what you're talking about.

          Although Kaby Lake is supported on Z170 and H170, I would expect the product description is inaccurate and the PC comes with a H270 board.

        • Fuzor on 30/06/2017 - 19:28

          @O15:

          Again you're assuming as you don't own the PC, I know its the z270 as I own one and it has Intel Smart Response. Anywho even if it is a h270 board, its not exactly "a very basic motherboard". Maybe one of the B250 chips in the Inspiron range is basic but not the XPS.

        • magic8ballgag on 30/06/2017 - 19:37

          @O15:

          The IO

          What's wrong with the IO on the XPS's motherboard?

          I think you overreacted by stating that it is very basic as it doesn't have the same features found on a high-end gaming motherboard, but everyone has an opinion I guess.

      I had the same thought too. Im buying parts for my Ryzen 5 with only 1060 3gb card and already costs $1460. This deal is a kill at the GTX 1070. But then, if you build yourself, it looks better and you can build it on top quality parts. Not sure what parts Dell uses for this build.

        If you've not purchased your graphics card, yet, upgrade it to the 6GB version of the 1060.

        You don't want a graphics card with only 3GB VRAM in 2017, that's just asking for disappointment and remorse.
        Take it from someone who had 2GB 670s in SLI, plenty of GPU power towards the end of their life but I was constantly hitting VRAM limits.

          hi mate, thanks for your advice. The one I go for is MSI Gaming X. I can get the 3GB for $326 and 6GB for $419. I am not a daily gamer and anything that is too much in gaming, I still game though. But I will work extensively on designer software CAD and REVIT etc, and video editing too. Do you think the $90 difference is worth it?

          @roonaqdai:

          Depends on the kind of games you want to play.

          If you want to play games with technically more advanced graphics and higher resolution textures (Battlefield, GTA, the usual AAA stuff), then the extra VRAM will help you.

          If you're only going to be playing games with more simple graphics (LoL, DOTA, Counterstrike), the additional VRAM may not be of benefit.

          If it were me, I would want the extra VRAM. I was maxing out my 2GB cards at only 1080p a couple of years ago.

          @roonaqdai: No, it isn't worth it if you game at 1080p. Problem with more RAM is the cost, if you like the best bang for your buck, the 3GB is better. By getting 6GB on a 1060, you effectively have far too much RAM for the speed of the card.

          I have a 960m 2GB laptop and play Battlefield, Witcher 3, Total War: Warhammer. The 1060 3GB has 50% more faster RAM, while being a faster card. You want the card speed and amount of RAM to match, but if you had to choose the lesser, less RAM is better than a slower card. You can always drop textures from Ultra to VeryHigh to decrease RAM load, but a slow card is a slow card.

          For CAD, 3GB is easily enough unless you are doing massive projects with lots od high res textures.

          I know nothing of Revit.
