It seems as though it's time for another eBay deal!
Conditions: The offer entitles you to 20% off the purchase price (excluding postage costs) on items at Official Dell Australia, except for Gift Cards, up to a maximum discount of $1000 per transaction, during the Offer Period. A maximum of two transactions applies. Multiple items may be purchased in two transactions (up to a maximum of 10 items per transaction).
any examples? items I've seen are the same price they've been for the past 2 weeks
Not really same price. Because Dell always discounts, 10% 20% 40%, I have my 2 Dell laptops, Dell monitor, Alienware keyboard & mouse from Dell, Dell TB16 Dock. I always wait for 30% or 40% discount to buy. 20% discount is normal price.
An example is Dell TB16 Dock always $329.00 RRP, and always discount to $256.62 in Dell website, but I bought it for $140 last time.
Another example is Dell XPS 15 9570 Core i7, RAM 32GB, 1TB, 4k touchscreen always showing at least $4,698.99 RPP and discount to $3999 in Dell website, but I bought it last year (June) ago for only $3,126.36 - See https://imgur.com/a/1onhL00
So what you need to do is: Wait for better discount :)
Completely agreed. If you're looking for an actually decently-spec'd-by-first-world-standards laptop like the one taron mentions, at a good price, this is not the time to buy.
It seems we get a lot of the second-rate, lower-tier-of-Asia hardware here, at prices approximately equivalent to much better hardware in America. Friends in America laugh when I tell them how much Dell charges just for a laptop with a 4K screen here, and as recently as a year or so ago, Dell was still dumping the non-FHD laptops in Australia. To be fair, Dell isn't the only company who does it, but they stand out as a chronic offender. When Dell gives Australia great deals, it's usually on year+ old hardware. My official protest was to switch to Lenovo during the recent CR anniversary cashback sale, after 20 years of being mostly a Dell loyalist.
Forgot to remind you guys about Cashrewards: It's currently 10% cashback in Dell website, then you may consider buying from Dell, 10% is much more than this little different plus 3% cashback from ebay.
Bonus about cashback last year on my dell XPS 15: https://imgur.com/gallery/cJmeVIK
Any idea when dells better deals are going to come around next?
Ebay is $4,139.00
Dell is $3,993.99
If 20% applied, then it's better than Dell website. but I guess it'll be better discount in mid to late Jun (end of finance year).
Omg, I forgot about 10% cashback in Dell website, then you may consider buying from Dell, 10% is much more than this little different plus 3% cashback from ebay.
Only if Dell has their Ryzen 4000 G5 SE line up on its eBay store…
All Intel :/
Good for winter 👍
Intel solution is:
-Use the same chipset as last year, called it something else.
-Increase clock speed
-Increase power usage
-Increase heat
-Same price as last year model
-Only 6%-9% performance gain.
This is what AMD use to do.
You'd be right if they didn't change the heat spreader and actually reduce heat with the 10 series. The latest desktop cpu's absolutely shit on previous versions for heat transfer. I'm no fan boy and would probably buy amd if I were building a pc right now but I'm more just saying we should give Intel credit for at least making one good change in this series and that is the heat spreader design.
XPS laptops price jacked on eBay
You mean that it's unfortunate that Dells price cycles are not colliding to give you that double whammy discount! Just a normal circumstance, not price jacking!!
most electronics prices increased due to C19.
Anyone waiting for the Computer Alliance 20% off?
So you have any idea when it will be?
Don’t forget 10% cash back posted recently by zyppy7
Doesn't work with code I believe.
Apology for the post
Cashback for Dell website, this code is for the eBay Dell store
Gee, no love for the Latitude models, and yes…I know, it's a business model but that's all I've ever bought in the past 20 years or so.
This, people buy inspirons and ideabooks and pavillions and complain about quality whilst comparing it to macbooks 4x the price.
Thinkpad or Latitude if you're serious, add extended warranty and no worries. The corporate lines are so much better than consumer in everything except for raw specs. Just wait for sale time when they slash the price so it becomes palatable.
I've always liked the way that the Latitudes models have been upgradeable, and that the length of the model run has been somewhat longer than consumer models.
Oh, mate, branch out. Take a look out there. The seas are pretty calm and the water's nice and warm in Lenovo land.
Latitudes ain't what they used to be. Perhaps my favourite laptop of all time is the Latitude E6420, the ultimate life-resistant, upgradeable to provide decent perf for years and suit all sorts of circumstances, portable hardware. It took the multibay — which I first encountered on my initial Dell, a 2000-vintage Inspiron 5100 — to an art form. DVD? CD-RW? HDD? SATA SSD? Second BATTERY? It had you covered. I used that thing for 3 years at work and nearly another 5 at home after swapping in two SSDs for the HD and DVD, and upgrading the memory to 16gb. It held its own against a LOT of current laptop hardware until just a couple years ago, despite being built in 2011.
The thing is, current Latitudes ride on the reputation of ones from 5+ years ago. They've basically taken the Vostro, slapped some Enterprise management features onto it, and called it a Latitude. The upper tier Latitudes used to be a cut above that, but now, meh.
Haha, yeah, I might have to, I hate the way that Dell has put the network port on the right-hand side of some of the latest Latitudes, surely the designers could have Googled that about 90% of the world's population is right handed?
Any decent monitors for a good price?
Only Alienware monitors listed at the moment and all are at full RRP, so no.
Be aware of known lcd screen leakage issues in xps laptops. Own one and victim of the issue just past warranty period. What a waste of money.

My Dell XPS battery failed right after the warranty period expired. I hardly used it on battery and it was at 90% when some flag kicked in and it signalled it could no longer be used.
The CPU used to overheat but fortunately it was easy to open and apply some better quality thermal paste.
It's pretty easy to replace the battery on XPS. A few screws and plug in the new one.
If it occurred just past the warranty period you can inform Dell that under Australian consumer law you're still entitled to a repair as you didn't buy an expensive computer believing it would only last a year. They will give you a free repair.
What happened to all their 17 inch models? i.e
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/513779
They haven't had any for months.
I got this last time. Its a great machine.
Obsolete
?
17 inch I meant, the trend now is smaller/lighter.
I am looking for a laptop with bit gaming capacity, anyone has some comments on this one please?
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/323809186035
Nope,
Get the Dell G5 SE, wait for them to list it on eBay.
https://www.dell.com/en-au/shop/laptops/new-15-se/spd/g-seri…
CPU 4600H model with GPU 5600M $1,798.98
This AMD model is better value and much faster than the Intel i5 9400h
Get the G3 instead. Basically the same laptop for $100 less: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Dell-G3-15-3590-Gaming-Laptop-i5…
Try and find a laptop with RTX 2060. I have a laptop with GTX 1650 and it's not very good for gaming.
Here's an awesome buy for 9750h, 16gb ram, 512gb SSD, rtx 2060:
No 38" ultrawide? Awesome, thanks for nothing Dell! Limited options as always…
38"?
Won't you neck strain from it?
Has a curved display
Does anyone know if the tax invoice shows the full price or the discounted price?
Though surely you'd only be claiming the price that you pay, no?
Full price
Anyone if we can customised the configuration and ask them to invoice a business name and different address than our ebay account ? If we can customise the specs in ebay, how please ?
Thanks
Can't customise the specs via eBay but you can add a new address to your PayPal account and business name is one of the fields
Can get a Inspiron 14 7490 for $1291 with this code. Down from $1899 originally… any thoughts on whether I’m likely to get a deal better than this over the next month or so? Might be time to go for it
Just tried to buy but code no longer works.
Yep, even though the banner keeps the ad and code.
Didn't last long, did it?
Had this issue at the weekend and spoke to ebay, they agreed the code should have been working and are apparently sending me a special coupon for 20% off the laptop I was looking it. They said give it 48 hours so eager to see if it arrives
Price jacked already.
