Update - The item page has now been taken offline.
USB 2.0 Port
Wish it had USB 3.0 Ports.
That's a different model. Check the photos in the product details page. They show a usb c port whereas the one on JB Hifi's page doesn't show a usb c port.
Edit: Same model number. Could be a different SKU.
Dell page specifys USB C only on the model with discrete video card I believe (or that it’s optional)
Specs are inconsistent so it is going to be interesting to see what turns up.
1 x usb 2.0? Newly released?
usb c
Comparing the tiny photos on JB Hifi's website to Dell's website on the same model number, it looks like it has 1 USB2 port on the right side and 2 USB3 ports on the left.

great price! i bought the same model refurbished from the dell outlet for $879 2 weeks ago…
Ouch
What is the screen like?
It is a TN panel, what are the viewing angles and colours and contrast like for videos?
Thanks
it is ok. sorry haven't watched any movies on it
How good is the graphic card? Good for mild gaming?
It’s a notebook, unless your paying $1500-$3000 they don’t play high end games. It’s hard to tell how bad/good, but a quick look here indicates low quality will get you 30fps, medium ~10-15. https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-530-GPU-Benchmarks-…
Here’s another https://www.quora.com/Is-the-AMD-530-4-GB-DDR5-good-for-gami…
Yes.
Intel HD Graphics is enough for mild gaming these days.
This GPU should run most games fine. Just don't go AAA games (why would you, you're on a laptop)
Weird specs- looks like $999 specs on the CPU, SSD and RAM front but $99 specs on the port front.
Amazing price, even questioning if somebody has put the 50% off on by mistake. Same model is $950 on the dell website with a lower specs of i5 7200 cpu.
Ports are a joke, a single USB2.0 port?
I just spent $1582.99 "$600 off Discount" on the same system, but with 16GB ram and 256 ssd and 2TB hard Drive. On the way here now. This is a bargain.
I just bought the same setup an hour ago, but for $1339.09. That's what it was advertised at, but when I went to checkout, they wanted $1538.99. I contacted them via chat and they said it was a pricing error and is supposed to be the higher price, but they would give me the lower price if I did the purchase through the person I was chatting with. I notice that they have now corrected the price on their website, but I did get a screen grab just in case.
Does anyone know if it has an IPS panel?
NVM just read the review above. It's TN but for the price this is still a really good bargain.
"Timaestro 4 min ago new
Does anyone know if it has an IPS panel?"
No
I have this laptop but specced with 16gb ram and additional 2TB HDD. Observations: poor quality touchpad, any task which require either intensive CPU or the radeon GPU to work hard will have the single fan spinning loudly and the thing which most disappoints..the TN panel which is very washed out and poor viewing angles.

$1119 on the Dell website but still a very good price.
Delete. Already snswered
Good price and good specs. I'm tempted!
Access Denied jbhifi, anyone else?
surfer,
Could be pricing Error
Still good for me
Brought one - got email confirmation
Went through with Opera ok just received email confirmation
i7 at this price is really good.
payment went through sweet!
Got one too with email confirmation
Got another one too.
Got 1 as well. Thanks OP
Cheer OP, got one with "Good news, your order has been confirmed" message…
Gotta be happy with the price vs spec!!
Great price. Unbelievable that Dell could not bother with gigabit ethernet and JBHiFi couldn't be bothered putting up proper specs. I'm going to pass.
Tempted
Thanks op. Already received pick up notification
looks to be out of stock now
Goneski.
looks like price error.
404 Page Not Found
Oops!
Yes, same here
Looks like the saying "The early Ozbargainer catches the Dell" was true again twice this morning!
Ready for pickup!! WhooHoo!!
they may not give you as price error
Just picked up…
I was unable to add the laptop to the cart and checkout, after refreshing the page I got a 404. Called a local store, the lady I spoke with said they had some stock in-store at $699 and that she'll put one aside for me to pickup this afternoon.
Hoping this is the case for Perth haha
Did you get yours?
Unfortunately not.
I also called store at Springfield - got one reserved for $699 - now 2 left in stock.
Probably worth a call to your local store. Good luck peeps!
I might take my lunch break early and go for a walk!
Are they still honoring the price for you?
No
Yes. Guy at store confirmed $699. I have instructed my wife to not accept excuses, and call me if issues, but I don't expect any. I have his name, and he verbally confirmed $699 - which he was very surprised at. He even said "well done".
"Well done" sir
I did the same thing. Wife rocked up to pick it up and they wouldn't honor it. They said it had already been picked up which is bs. Good Luck!
Wow OP just missed it :/
Went into the Parramatta store and was told that there was a price adjustment, pushing it back up to the original price.
So I think chances of anyone getting theirs are slim. :(
Pricing error. Got an apology email. Order cancelled.
Just got a Phone call from JB Hi Fi, Money refunded. Reason price issue with that particular model and they cannot Sell them. So if you do get one…good luck.
Just picked mine up. No questions asked…
I'm happy!!
YES I GOT ONE went to jbhifi and the salesman told me the price was being fixed in an hour. told me if i wanted one i should buy it now and i got it. wow
I just went to the second Parramatta store and no dice there either, even though they had it in stock.
Congrats on your bargain though!
Picked mine up 20 mins ago. Just confirming it has 3 USB ports
gr8
usb 3 or usb 2?
It has 1x USB 2.0, 2x USB 3.1 Gen 1 and 1x USB 3.1 (type C).
i paid via paypal and for delivery.
no news as yet apart from "congrats your order has been confirmed by the store"
I reckon some pick up orders will go through, but delivery ones will be cancelled, as they've got more time to fix their mistakes.
let's see, still no news
order status says "shipped" when i login
Mine says Shipped, even though I got a Phone call saying they will be refunding.
Pricing error, orders will most likely be cancelled…
People already claiming they have picked theirs up.
Would be nice to know, did Head Office leave discretion to stores to honour those that were already ordered/reserved with the $699 price?
It seems like some stores were looking after customers more so than others.
No unfortunately, if a store put it through it was before the price was manually changed on our systems…
Funny, I only had verbal agreement to hold it - BUT - guy did confirm price when I rang so I would have argued like a bastard had he tried to reneg. Picked up at 1.30pm and was honoured.
Lucky me…..
Is this touch screen enabled ?
SuperSonic,
No Touch screen.
Anyone have the sku? or receipt?
Thats not the same model.
Oh. Sorry my bad
This is the ONE they probably meant to clear by reducing the price too $699 for its an old superseded model but some genius applied the discounted price to the wrong model LLOLL
Just got one sku 497044 $699
Link pls
The guy I reserved it with via phone this morning, checked by asking for the SKU - which i supplied (497044). So I definitely have the "price error" bargain. Wife has picked it up, all good. Happy I did not miss out, half expected them to reneg.
Picked mine up earlier. thanks op.
I want one!
I ordered to pick up. Just received an email saying that order cancelled due to pricing error. I am from WA and woke up very early to made this purchase but disappointed at the end.
I've emailed them back saying that it's alright, I'll happily take all the laptops they have for $54 each!
Can't believe they stuffed up the "sorry we stuffed up" email!
"SUBJECT: Incorrect Pricing - DELL - A511052AU INSPIRON 15" 5000
Hi
This is a courtesy email to explain what’s happening with your recent JB HIFI order.
Your order contained the [Description] that unfortunately was incorrectly priced at $18.99 on our website. The correct price for this item should have been $54.
The item will be back on the website with the correct price shortly."
I have the same email with $54 as the correct price. They (their system) messed up.
Wow that's a super price!
