    Wish it had 8gb ram at that price..

      I had one and installed 8GB. It made zero difference to how the machine ran, though it was recognised successfully. The bottleneck here is the incredibly gutless CPU. It's fine for very basic tasks, but once you try a bit of multitasking it all goes to hell. You get what you pay for here. Although I loved the form factor of this machine (the size is perfect) I ended up selling it to a mate.

    • DSCRAC on 17/10/2017 - 23:43

      I bought it from a previous deal and upgraded to 8GB RAM from MSY for nearly $70..I dont remember the exact price. It was a gift for someone who couldn't afford other fancy ones or MBP. He is running Oracle virtual box and a Linux VM on it now. 8GB upgrade did make a difference and it is mainly used for running some light-weight tools and a small Linux VM on it. Value for money$

    Sheesh DELL has done well in maintaining the "same" price for well over a year now with peeps still lapping it up.
    So what, the general consensus is that the laptop has held up in value.
    Surely it'll be reaching EOL soon.

  • SySalem on 17/10/2017 - 11:39

    I'm loving how often these come up, as they're a great price, but I require touchscreen so these are always almost perfect for me, besides that one missing feature :'(

  • OhNoUShiz on 17/10/2017 - 11:44

    How hard is it to diy upgrade the ram and SSD for this lappy?

    • airal3rt on 17/10/2017 - 11:47

      I mean the computation specs aren't great on this, the dirt cheap laptop that still runs on an SSD is kind of the drawcard. Not sure why you'd bother going for this model if you were going to rip out the SSD to replace it.

    Note: they ship from Malaysia, but you get a AU receipt. Its plasticky. IMHO - I'd get a Chuwi at this price point, and pick your ideal screen size - 12, 14 or 15 inch.

  • fattyboombatty on 17/10/2017 - 12:10

    I actually need something like this for my daughter. The price is nice and good specs but not delivered for 3 weeks - which isn't going to cut it.

    Don't suppose the Dell store would match? They're going for $598 at the moment - waiting on chat

    Anywhere else to get something reasonably similar in a quicker fashion?

    Edit: Cheapest Dell can do (according to chat) is $569. Makes this look like a great deal - damn shipping…

    How can I claim $100 cash back?

      It's $100 cash off.

      'Normal price' is $499, $100 cash off = $399. Then 20% off using the code = final price $319.20.

          Then go overseas within 60 days and get your GST back.

        • BadGiraffe on 17/10/2017 - 13:27

          @4wd: Don't you need a foreign passport for that?

        • 4wd on 17/10/2017 - 14:30

          @flaminglemon: No, you just need to leave the country and take it with you.

          I got my GST back on it earlier this year, (GST on $399, not the $319 I paid), brought it down to under $300.

    I was quite inspired by the inspiron 11 for a few years in a row, and tried a few models, but the relationship ended, because the screen is just plain dim and dull.

    After all, I decided for myself, that laptop is first and most of all the screen, it is the main point of interaction with the device, which I can't accept a compromise on, and in 99% of cases it's not upgradeable.

    Yah you get an SSD and a pentium, go ahead and stick another RAM stick (inspired by inspiron, stick the stick, jeez), but whatever you do, you'll be staring at the same dim and dull TN panel that - I don't know about you - gives me headache.

    Nevertheless, it's a positive vote, because it's a balanced model, and if you don't care about wide viewing angles or vivid colors, it a good price for it.

        on a plane? in a car? on a train? what's the point of getting a laptop if I have to haul around a monitor to avoid eye strain? I would look like a hacker, on a side note :)

    I have the Acer equivalent to this, with an SSD and 8gb of ram they are good for anyone on the go. Useless at gaming though, even Roblox. (good for old games I suppose)

    A nifty little trick I learned to get the most grunt out of the CPU, is to use Throttlestop, and force it to run at 2.6ghz on all four cores. Still has a good 15 degree buffer before max temp, even at full load.

    • fryandlaurie on 17/10/2017 - 14:37

      Wouldn't that kill battery life?

      • Oofy Doofy on 17/10/2017 - 15:42

        Of course, but if you need that kind of power, it's available with some tweaking. I am usually near a power point during the day. Just thought it might be useful info for somebody.

    • garybath on 17/10/2017 - 16:41

      which Acer model?

        +1

        Acer Aspire R11 R3-131T-P73T

        Same CPU as the Dell unit here.

        • garybath on 18/10/2017 - 10:04

          Thanks. Where did you get it from and what is the display like?

        • Oofy Doofy on 18/10/2017 - 10:10
          +1

          @garybath:

          The cheapest place I could find at the time. Try to find one on gumtree if you can.

          The display is very bright and vivid with max backlight. Typical colour washout around the edges (only slight) due to it being a thin flexible touchscreen. I assume they are using some form of fancy glass as the screen 'gives' under finger pressure, similar to what many smartphones use.

          I don't have any complaints.

          If no SSD, install 8gb of ram. If SSD installed, you don't need 8gb of ram in these things unless you got a stick for free or peanuts.

  • Bunnyburger on 17/10/2017 - 15:07

    Can Baldur's Gate 2/Icewind Dale be played with this laptop?

      Check the minimum system requirements. At a quick glance, yes it will.

    Just got back from a two week trip with this little guy.

    It's fast enough to do simple tasks while on holiday and watch any shows you loaded up onto it for the airport/planes. I have 2 little USB sticks for an extra 64GB of storage.
    It's very light, and slots in a small backpack easily.
    About 6 hours battery life watching shows.
    Wifi card is good and can see 5ghz networks.

    The screen and touchpad suck, and I wouldn't purchase it for every day use, but it's fantastic for traveling.

    • [Deactivated] on 17/10/2017 - 15:48

      my thoughts exactly, generation after generation, same dull 720p TN panel, as if Dell is growing them on trees somewhere in Taiwan.
      is IPS really that much harder to make? I'll go google

      edit: yep, harder to make and more expensive. oh well, at least IPS panels are starting to make their way into budget laptoppery. few months back I posted a deal for a $220 USD Full HD IPS laptop from HP. hope to see this trend continue.

    Posting this again!

    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 :)

      Does it play 1080p HEVC files ok?

      • Oofy Doofy on 18/10/2017 - 10:15
        +1

        Can you please search for these things yourself?

        1080p 10Mbps hvec would work well if you could lock the cpu to 2.6ghz on all cores, as per my relevant post above.
        Otherwise you're looking at only acceptable frame rates (60fps or close) for hvec at 10-15 bit rates for 720p.

  • SnowyStinklestein on 17/10/2017 - 18:14

    Picked this up during the last deal. Light weight and great as a travelling laptop for doing the basic stuff.

  • aardvark7 on 18/10/2017 - 00:41

    I got this a while ago and have basically never used it as a laptop. It's plugged in to the TV as a HTPC streaming media files from another computer over the network and it works pretty well for that application.

    As a HTPC, I think it's much better than most other Windows-based alternatives for the same price.
