Just pulled the trigger on this bad boy. Part of the click frenzy sale with an RRP of $2898.98 (I know - inflated)!

Was looking at HP, Lenovo and other Dells but this one fits the bill for me based on specs:

Processor
11th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-1165G7 Processor (12MB Cache, up to 4.7 GHz)
Operating System
Windows 10 Home (64 bit) English
Video Card

Display
14.5-inch 16:10 QHD+ (2560 x 1600) IPS AG Non-Touch, 300nits, 100% sRGB
Hard Drive
1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive
Memoryi
16GB, onboard, LPDDR4x, 4267MHz
Primary Battery
4-Cell Battery, 52 Whr (Integrated)
Wireless
Intel® Wi-Fi 6 2x2 (Gig+) and Bluetooth

Ports
1 Thunderbolt™ 4 port
2 USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports
1 headset (headphone and microphone combo) port
1 HDMI 2.0 port
Slots
1 microSD-card slot
Dimensions & Weight
Height (front): 0.56 in. (14.25 mm)
Height (rear): 0.66 in. (16.75 mm)
Width: 12.66 in. (321.69 mm)
Depth: 8.84 in. (224.53 mm)
Weight (maximum): 2.78 lb (1.259 kg)
Camera
720p at 30 fps, HD RGB camera, Dual microphones in camera assembly.

Additional 10% cashback with both Cashrewards and Shopback which brings it down to around $1565 and don't forget $5 bonus from Cashrewards, so $1560 :)

What do people think? Any good? Similar options for the weight, dedicated CPU and QHD display plus screen size? I was looking at Lenovo's AMDs but chunkier and HPs ProBook and Envy x360 didn't seem to be as good overall.

      10% CR won't work though since it's not one of their codes?

    Sorry to say but I've had atrocious quality control from Dell. Two dead inspiron 7306 units. Not sure if I'm going to risk the third or just refund.

    The new drivers for the Xe graphics I think needs a bit more time to mature too. You can tell the whole unit, at least mine, has brilliant promise, but it feels very beta. This will be somewhat mitigated by the dgpu here.

    Double check if your laptop can charge reliably over USB C. This second one really struggles.

    • mrkrazy on 11/11/2020 - 07:31

      Thanks for the comments and thankfully this had the NVIDIA MX-350, not the Intel GPU 🙂

  • mandelbrot on 18/11/2020 - 00:52

    Have you received your laptop yet? Thinking of getting one as well. Wonder how the build quality is like, compared to xps.

    • mrkrazy on 18/11/2020 - 07:57

      No, it was shipped on 12 November but ETA is 17-25th and nothing yet… You can get it on Dell's eBay sale now for around $1600 again!

      • mandelbrot on 18/11/2020 - 08:24

        Yeah I saw that. Seems like great specs for that price! I've read the build quality isn't as good as others (such as xps range), so wondering if it's something I can live with for that price. There doesn't seem to be any brick & mortar shops that carry it for me to physically check it out.

        • mrkrazy on 18/11/2020 - 08:48
          +1

          Yep, I felt the same way! Supposedly the quality is closer to the XPS line than ever before but of course they need to differentiate. If you like at the specs and price however, for me it's an easy choice. I've had an XPS 15 before and QC wasn't that good. Ended up getting a HP Spectre x360 at the time instead.

          I've only found 2 reviews so far but only one with these specs and no visuals apart from photos.

          Here's one and here's the other…

          I wish they used the bigger battery as I'm hoping for 10+ hour battery life so will be interesting to see how it fares.

          • mandelbrot on 18/11/2020 - 09:00

            @mrkrazy: Thanks!
            What's Dell's return policy like if you decide you don't like what you've ordered?

            • mrkrazy on 18/11/2020 - 09:06

              @mandelbrot: 15 days 👍🏾 HP is 30 days but you should have a pretty good idea what you think about in by two weeks depending on your use case.

              • Modesty on 18/11/2020 - 09:12

                @mrkrazy: Any idea about Lenovo?

                • mrkrazy on 18/11/2020 - 09:14

                  @Modesty: I was looking at Lenovo's too and was hoping for an AMD in terms of performance but sadly most models have either bad screens/resolution, 8GB RAM and much heavier, no Thunderbolt 4, etc.

                  • Modesty on 18/11/2020 - 09:18

                    @mrkrazy: I ordered Lenovo IdeaPad S540 with Ryzen 7 4800U 16GB RAM 512GB SSD $1,142.10 few days ago. I hope it serves me well.
                    I think Lenovo don't return because of change of mind and issue full refund?

                    • mrkrazy on 18/11/2020 - 09:23

                      @Modesty: Yeah, I looked at that too but it's 13.3" whereas the Inspiron 7400 is closer to 14.5" plus has Thunderbolt 4 and 1TB SSD. Not sure about change of mind returns with Lenovo though? Plus I'm also trying to steer away from Chinese owned brands even though the Dell and most other laptops are produced there 😕

                      • Modesty on 18/11/2020 - 09:29

                        @mrkrazy: Yeah. But there's price difference as well. But lenovo one bas best processor. If you need thunderbolt, then you'll have to stick with intel I believe. It's very hard to find laptop with good specs and good screen, specially with lenovo, lenovo has good priced laptops with good specs , but terrible screens. The S540 has fgod screen though.

                        • mrkrazy on 18/11/2020 - 09:33

                          @Modesty: Yeah, but I've already got a 13.3" and I didn't want a 15.6" so this was a great compromise as there are a lot more competitors in the 13 inch market.

                          But as always it's quite subjective and I am no doubt jealous of your AMD processor and more reasonable price!

                    • mandelbrot on 18/11/2020 - 09:27

                      @Modesty: Do you have a link to that deal? I can only see those specs for $1799 on the Lenovo website.

                  • bono on 19/11/2020 - 14:05

                    @mrkrazy: You can't get Thunderbolt on this generation AMD models (well in theory if they added a third party controller, but in reality you can't).

                    Absolutely agree on the bad screens.

                    For light, with a good screen and up to 16Gb RAM a good options is the lenovo s540. However it has a significant limitation in that it's USB Type C is gimped to only 5GB/s instead of up to 20Gb/s which is possible on other AMD laptops, so you can't do for instance a 4K@60hz monitor over that 5Gb Type C let alone share other peripherals like a dock. Also no touch screen.

              • mandelbrot on 18/11/2020 - 09:22

                @mrkrazy: Do Dell do full refund for returns within 15 days? That's pretty good if so.

                • mrkrazy on 18/11/2020 - 09:25
                  +1

                  @mandelbrot: Yep, I did that with my XPS 15 some time ago and I just checked again before buying this one. As mentioned, HP is even better at 30 days but you should have a good idea within two weeks whether you want to keep it or not.

                  • mrkrazy on 18/11/2020 - 09:27

                    @mrkrazy: I just checked out of curiosity and Lenovo supposedly has a 7 calendar day refund policy but they seem to charge a 20% restocking fee!

                    • mandelbrot on 18/11/2020 - 11:59

                      @mrkrazy: Is Dell's return policy different if purchased through eBay? I couldn't find anything about it.

                      • mrkrazy on 18/11/2020 - 12:20

                        @mandelbrot: No idea, you'd have to check the T&Cs. According to the listing there's a 30 day free return policy which might be eBay's and not Dell's, so if it's not damaged you should be OK? I'd chat to Dell on their website or with eBay to be safe.

                        • mandelbrot on 18/11/2020 - 21:18

                          @mrkrazy: Asked the question to Dell on eBay and they confirmed it's 30 days return. Pretty good

                          • mrkrazy on 18/11/2020 - 21:41

                            @mandelbrot: That's great news!

                              @mrkrazy: Ummed and ahhhed about it, then decided to pull the trigger. Worst come to worst, I can return it within 30 days, or cancel the order if something else better goes on sale in the meantime.

                    • Modesty on 18/11/2020 - 12:36

                      @mrkrazy: Lenovo return policy Not so good

                • bono on 19/11/2020 - 14:05

                  @mandelbrot: See my comment about that the USB C on that is gimped.

                  • mandelbrot on 19/11/2020 - 15:18

                    @bono: On the Lenovo or dell?

                    • bono on 19/11/2020 - 18:11

                      @mandelbrot: On the lenovo s540 the USB c is gen 1 only 5Gb.

                      (gen 2 is 10Gb Gen 2x2 is 20Gb).

                      The dell I'm not sure about as I didn't get that close to a purchase decision, I decided against it due to intel chip being slow, dell consumer line terrible quality control/many problems, and finally I saw this review which put me off it due to the screen not being that good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fz7jkM38PA&app=desktop see where it's side by side with the other screens. I recommend jumping ahead in that review to find what you need..

    Mods, please delete as this was meant to be a reply…

  • killertaxi on 18/11/2020 - 11:08

    Can anyone help me make up my mind between this Inspiron 14 7000 and this Vostro 15 7000: https://www.dell.com/en-au/work/shop/business-laptops-ultrab…

    Im liking the specs of the Inspiron, as I don't game on my laptop. But the Vostro has a slightly larger screen, but the Inspiron's screen appears to be better quality. Both look very good.

    • mrkrazy on 18/11/2020 - 11:19

      Pros for the Vostro:
      - Better GFX card
      - Pro support
      - Faster processor
      - Bigger screen
      - TPM

      Pros for the Inspiron:
      - Newer processor
      - QHD and 16:10 screen
      - Lighter
      - 1TB SSD
      - A lot lighter (1.2 kg vs 1.7kg)
      - Thunderbolt 4
