    These are pretty thick and plasticy feeling but great value

    • systema on 21/12/2020 - 20:22

      Actually not - both the display lid and the keyboard deck are made out of metal. What you have in mind is probably the Inspiron 3000 devices.

        Thanks looking to buy this for a general use in a office environment for word processing etc.

        Have you used this device before? From what I read it's metal and not very plasticky

        • systema on 21/12/2020 - 20:51

          I have the 4700u version. The bottom lid is plastic and the screen surround is plastic.

          The only thing that I would call plastiky is probably the bottom lid, but it usually faces the desk instead of me, so it's not that bad.

          Also, the usually highly recommend Lenovo E15 only has a metal display lid - the rest of it is plastic. So, the Dell isn't really that bad in comparison.

      • Sammyboy on 21/12/2020 - 20:50

        True. Just had a look at one at JB the other day. Was impressed

    How would it compare to the expired Lenovo deal? https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/591614

    • Tehcookiemonsta on 21/12/2020 - 20:24

      This Device has:
      Same Processor
      Same amount of RAM
      Double the Storage

      Not quite sure on the screens I'm going to assume they're quite same.

      They also seem to weigh the same which is not very light 1.7 kg

      • OldBugger on 21/12/2020 - 20:28

        And the Dell had a video card? Just bought the Lenovo for a little over $800 today. Oh well

        • Tehcookiemonsta on 21/12/2020 - 20:30
          +1

          Nope that's the integrated graphics. Part of the processor in this case it is the exact same as that Lenovo you linked. Both devices have the 4500U processor from AMD.

            @Tehcookiemonsta: Ah, I see, thanks. Dell seems to list it separately to make it look better to us technologically inept buggers.

            • Radiskull on 21/12/2020 - 20:53

              @OldBugger: I think the budget Lenovo laptops have pretty dim screens. Say, around 400nits peak brightness.

              • OldBugger on 21/12/2020 - 21:12
                +1

                @Radiskull: The listing says 250nits supposedly for the Dell?

                • Radiskull on 21/12/2020 - 21:20
                  +1

                  @OldBugger: I personally won't bother with anything too dim in the future.

                  I have a 350nits panel on my laptop and it's even hard to read stuff when the sun comes through the window. Having to work around the daylight to watch a movie sucks. (I know, I know.. curtains and sunglasse/s and night time, etc. but I don't have a dark room all the time)

              • ialam99 on 21/12/2020 - 21:45

                @Radiskull: I believe both the lenovo e15 (linked above) and the dell linked here only have 250 nits so it will be difficult to read outside in the sun. If its used indoors in an office enviroment then it might be sufficient but if it will be used outside then i would definitely look for a brighter screen.

      • [Deactivated] on 21/12/2020 - 22:14

        Personal preference. Dell batteries are potato and their warranty sucks, keep that in mind. Dell keeps tryna get thinner and the battery takes the hit.

        Beyond that, Dell's usually feel ever so slightly more premium over the E series Lenovo's (imo), but that's not to say the Lenovo's feel bad.

        • alxr0101 on 22/12/2020 - 08:40

          And Dell are very hard to get parts for non warranty repairs such as broken hinges due to being dropped.
          Source: multiple separate experiences navigating Dell Support (clueless how to handle anything but warranty…) and misinformation/delay, despite quoting exact part numbers required.

          Dont expect quick fixes for non-warranty issues.

          • [Deactivated] on 22/12/2020 - 12:21

            @alxr0101: I wouldn't personally expect much more from Lenovo when it's something niche like a hinge mechanism.

            A battery or something more generic you'll have better odds with Lenovo, but the niche parts all manufacturers suck with these days. It's basically all aftermarket.

    • Jenny Death on 21/12/2020 - 20:41

      Same here, the thinkpad keyboard should be better and it has the nub pointer.

      • systema on 21/12/2020 - 20:53

        The thinkpad keyboard is a bit better but the keyboard deck on the E15 is plastic while the Dell 5505 has a metal keyboard deck.

        • Jenny Death on 21/12/2020 - 20:57

          True, i might look into how much deckflex the e14 and 15 have

    • systema on 21/12/2020 - 20:52
      +2

      The listing says 250nits.

      The panel itself is a BOE NV15N3D, which actually is 280 nits IPS panel.

    • Homr on 21/12/2020 - 21:08

      Better than top tier i7 https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/AMD-Ryzen-5-4500U-vs-In…

    • [Deactivated] on 21/12/2020 - 21:35

      Athlon = i3 < Ryzen 3 = i5/i7 < Ryzen 5 < Ryzen 7

      That's for the 4000 series anyway

    • shellshocked on 21/12/2020 - 22:58

      AMD Ryzen are the fastest processors overall that you can get at the moment in Widows based laptops and desktops. Unfortunately Intel has been sleeping on the job and has fallen behind. Intel are just relying on slick marketing to keep mind share for those that aren't aware of better competing products, such as AMD Ryzen.

  • RichardMelbourne on 21/12/2020 - 20:59

    Could my father use this for playing FPS games from 10 years ago and perhaps Fortnite with lower settings?

    • frewer on 21/12/2020 - 21:40
      +2

      I say so, my i5 3570k can play Fortnite . That was a few years ago.

    • shellshocked on 21/12/2020 - 22:41
      +1

      The on board graphics of the R5 4500u will have no issues playing FPS games from 10 years ago. Though it would be better to have two sticks of 8gb RAM on this unit to run in dual channel mode and potentially obtain higher FPS.

      Please see demo YouTube video below of a R5 4500U, in dual channel mode, based laptop playing Fortnite at the recommended settings.

  • Jerry Lee Lewis on 21/12/2020 - 21:04

    How does this compare with the JB hifi Inspiron 15 5000 which is twice the price? it has 11th Generation Intel® Core™ i7.
    I have gift cards to spend at JB and have to get the wife a computer for work. I was looking at this one - https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/dell-inspiron-15-5000-14-…

    Is it worth the extra money?

    • [Deactivated] on 21/12/2020 - 21:39
      +2

      No it's definitely not worth the extra money. The laptops are almost the same. The only difference is i7 vs Ryzen 5 which won't make any difference for a work computer, in fact the Ryzen is arguably better

    • shellshocked on 21/12/2020 - 22:34
      +1

      Intel 11th i7 are only a 4 physical core processor. The AMD R5 4500U is a 6 core processor. Based on reviews it can be 30 to 50% faster than the 11th gen i7 in multi-threaded applications.

      It'll run most online games fine with medium-low settings. The latest AAA games can be played but with 720p and very low settings.

    • scrimshaw on 22/12/2020 - 11:31

      You can probably forget about playing Cyberpunk 2077 on it. Older games will run perfectly fine on Vega graphics.
