Hi guys, I've been eyeing up this laptop for some time but frustratingly it is not getting cheaper than ~$2,500. Any thoughts whether it will or not? Note this has the Full HD screen rather than 4K. I prefer Full HD for battery life.

      That's the 4K screen, I prefer the Full HD for battery life.

        Even cheaper than at $1859 with code PDELLME :). It is 8GB RAM, however, so just swap the RAM for a 16GB one.

          I think OP was looking for the 16gb ram as well.

          Sorry I have no idea how to swap the RAM from 8GB to 16GB.

          Yep looking for 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD.

            @Pbm33: So you could get a DDR4 2666hz (the max 9750h can support) 16GB RAM on Amazon for $100ish, or 2x8GB one for the same price. The latter would be better for the dual-channel memory. Screw open your laptop and swap it. It won't void your warranty or anything and it's fairly easy.

              @RobBoss: Sorry I'm just not confident doing this.

                @Pbm33: Yeah in that case, best to wait for another sale on their official website. or follow what the below comment has said.

            @Pbm33: probably too late if the sale is ending, but you can probably ask them for a custom listing like these ones

              @nubix: Didn't know this was possible! How do I ask them for custom listing?

              • nubix on 18/09/2020 - 17:57

                @Pbm33: never done it myself. maybe give them a message

                • Pbm33 on 18/09/2020 - 18:02

                  @nubix: I have just sent them a message. Damn if only I knew of these custom listings earlier..

                    @Pbm33: They don't do custom listings. Custom listings are only for the extended warranty or win home/pro

                      @plmko: You are spot on, got a reply from them.

  • DannyC on 18/09/2020 - 18:50

    Have U considered other options or set on the XPS?

      Thought about it A LOT, like for months and did my head in. Have settled on the XPS - even after reading all the negative comments.

      There is no perfect laptop but the XPS just ticks what I want in terms of ports and aesthetics.
