    <resolved by reading the post in its entirity - get the 8130u … >

    Clocked at 2.2 to 3.4 GHz, the Core i3-8130U offers a much better single core performance than the Core i3-7130U (2.7 GHz, no Turbo)

    • xyron on 12/02/2020 - 09:24

      Definitely want the 8th gen model and definitely want at least 8gb RAM (haven't looked to see whether the upgrade option is cheaper than just buying another stick).

      Edit - no it isn't - buy a second 4gb stick off ebay for $20-$30 and add it yourself, these laptops have a free second SODIMM slot. Very tempting to grab one of these to check it out, especially given they have LTE

      • subtorrent on 12/02/2020 - 09:41

        What type of Ram does it run?

        • xyron on 12/02/2020 - 09:42

          looks like DDR4 SODIMM

                @railspider: Looks like it needs to be 1x4GB DDR4 2400MHz SODIMM (for 8th Gen processor).
                https://topics-cdn.dell.com/pdf/latitude-14-3490-laptop_owne…
                Doc above also indicates the DIMM configurations are: (1 X 4 GB; 1 x 8 GB; 1 x 16 GB; 2 x 4 GB; 2 x 8 GB; 2 x 16 GB) - may not apply to this model, not sure.

                MWAVE or MSY have the same Crucial stick at $35 (model CT4G4SFS824A - I think is the right one). Best price I could see, nothing better on ebay/amazon. Unless anyone else can see a better deal?

                      @ozhunter68: Yes, there's a few comments stating a stick from ebay/amazon in the $20-$30 range. That seems to be rubbish.
                      The online retailers (MWAVE/MSY/etc) also have +$10-$15 postage. In the end the +$55 for the RAM upgrade (installed) seems like a pretty good deal.

                  @2Cheep: In case anyone stumbles across this (its now 2 weeks after the deal):
                  I ended up with the 8th Gen model. I took a punt and bought a single 8GB 2400MHz DDR4 SO-DIMM Module. I plugged this in, alongside the 4GB stick, and the machine reports 12GB of RAM. I don't really need the RAM to run in dual channel - this is an office PC, but I do need more than 4GB of RAM. Apparently this CPU supports Intel® Flex Memory Access (https://www.intel.com.au/content/www/au/en/support/articles/…), lower 4GB of each card works in dual channel, upper 4GB of 8GB stick in single channel.

                  Don't know how it works, it's just magic. But for +$52 the laptop now has 12GB RAM.

      3rd Gen verses 7th or 8th Gen CPU architecture.

          Where on the listing does it mention a 1 year warranty from DELL ??
          AFAIK only Dell refurbished ones sold through DELL factory outlet get that sort of warranties. These don't say manufacturer refurbished, so I take they are seller "refurbished" and they probably don't have any balance of the original warranty left as these could be 2 years old.

      Practically it's a spot on simple business laptop. Office, emails, Web. Portable with LTE.

      Throw in an extra 4gb of RAM and you'll be good for some more intensive stuff (huge excel workbooks, access, and other heavier programs).

      With 4GB of RAM it can "do" everything, but once you start opening multiple web browser tabs, or applications things are going to slow down. With 8GB of RAM it will happily do all standard computing tasks except playing games (well, it will play simple games, or old games, but not new action games).

      These are standard corporate laptops, so they're designed to do everything a standard office worker would do.

      • morgs640 on 13/02/2020 - 09:56

        Standard workers don't game at work?

  • w37hsyea on 12/02/2020 - 09:53

    Pretty good price for an i3 - and worth it to bump up the ram.

    I picked up a dell pentium $299 with 4gb, 128gb ssd and I greatly regret it. The pentium and 4gb ram have rendered the laptop utterly useless including MS office.

    • ESEMCE on 12/02/2020 - 09:56

      Yeah 4Gb is a crime and has been for 5 years

    • MuddyClear on 12/02/2020 - 09:56

      Yes, you really do need 8gb ram when running Windows 10. It seems a bit pricey when you start upgrading ram though. It would be better if it had 8gb ram and priced accordingly.

        It's a refurb, so not much you can do after the 90 days other than go through Dell.

    • wetsandwich on 12/02/2020 - 11:00

      I doubt it. Given how much extra you pay for ram in the upgrade options of any laptop (like triple what its actually worth), reselling it for 1x the real price doesn't make any sense.
