    that 3000 series is probably the best value this time 'round?

    if it was a 14 i'd probably go it even though its a gen behind

    • [Deactivated] on 22/12/2020 - 14:43

      Certainly enticing. The only thing I don't like at this price point is 10/100Mbps Ethernet port

    My god where are there so many different laptops called the Inspiron 15 3000? Trying to lookup reviews and there are ones with HDDs, 720p screens, different CPUs.

    Anyone know the model # for this particular one so I can actually find proper reviews? Better yet - does anyone have experience with this particular laptop?

        And no, "300+1300 Mbps Wi-Fi speed" does not mean what you assume it means at all.

    Bear in mind that a 1-year warranty with Dell means that period year and not a day more, regardless of the statutory warranty. They don't honour their legal obligations under ACL and are an absolute nightmare to deal with.

    • bbcw1980 on 22/12/2020 - 15:02

      So Australian law doesn't apply to them?

      • [Deactivated] on 22/12/2020 - 15:12

        It does, they just refuse to follow it. I had them try to claim a $1600 laptop that was shipped with a broken keyboard and continuously rebooted every few minutes didn't experience a major failure. A mech keyboard that completely stopped working within 2 years wasn't covered by ACL either according to them.

        I expect the ACCC will prosecute them over the next few years (as they have before).

        Their QC is absolutely abysmal at the moment too and there are a lot of reports of people having to return the new XPS multiple times before they get one without faults.

            +4

            @Toughcookie: Yeah, in my experience the majority of companies don't follow ACL. The ACCC needs to be overhauled.

            • tonyjzx on 22/12/2020 - 17:51

              @[Deactivated]: Well yeah. This has always been the case.

              The ACCC can only 'recommend' a warranty extension but Dell and MS are big enough with powerful lawyers that they dont care.

              Even at an enterprise level they wont give you any leeway.

              • [Deactivated] on 22/12/2020 - 18:45

                @tonyjzx: I don't know what you mean. The ACCC is the statutory authority responsible for enforcing the Competition and Consumer Act 2010. It can do much more than make 'recommendations' and often does. The issue is it has limited resources to do so and only instigates proceedings against the most flagrant offenders.

            • 1st-Amendment on 24/12/2020 - 16:53

              @[Deactivated]: Have you tried taking them to court? This is generally the mechanism for getting your legal rights enforced.
              I had a similar problem with JB Hifi and Samsung over a flaky phone once. They both pointed fingers at each other and me so I filed a complaint with the small claims court and as soon as they received the court notice they called me up immediately and paid me out.

          Reminds me of my recently Laptop purchase from HP which I bought in May. Two weeks ago, I told HP the display is poping out. They wanted to blame me for the damage and claim it's not covered by warranty. So I mentioned going to ACCC for advice, and the next thing they told me was give me a minute, and before I knew it, a case was open to repair my laptop.

        Probably fine for now but 8GB of RAM isn't great. I'm always over 8GB just browsing and I maxxed out 16GB yesterday with a Word document and 20-30 Firefox tabs (a few of those were PDFs though).

    Bit pissed with Dell.

    I ordered on the Black Friday Deal. Was due first week Dec then it went to CTO and about 2 weeks got notification that it would be delayed delivery one month later in early January. At the same time they had this one in stock ready to deliver (though not at the 40% off) . And now the ready to deliver is the same price and looking above might even be delivered before mine. Probably could have pushed with customer service but don't need urgently and couldn't be stuffed. Not good business (coming from an ex Dell Platinum Partner employee) :(

    • 1bug on 22/12/2020 - 20:37
      +2

      That's bad customer service.

      This laptop is advertised as "Inspiron 15 3000 Laptop (AMD) - In Stock For Fast Delivery" (estimated 2-3 business days).

      Email them and point this out, and ask them to ship you one of these instead of waiting for a factory order.

      • Limbot on 23/12/2020 - 10:15

        And on saying that the postie just knocked on me door and delivered.

        Still a bit pissy but at least it's here…

  • ar7ist on 23/12/2020 - 08:56

    Is the xps worth at this price? I'm looking to get a laptop for my dad. Something sleek and light that could last a couple of years.

    • [Deactivated] on 23/12/2020 - 09:35
      +1

      I wouldn't purchase an XPS again - there are too many quality issues and a 1-year warranty isn't enough. 8GB of RAM isn't very future proof either.

      If you want to go Dell then have a look at the Latitude range on the Dell Outlet. They're not as sleek as the XPS and don't have some of the newer features but are generally better quality and have a 3-year warranty. Just beware Dell often misleadingly advertises them as the aluminium version when they're actually the cheaper 'carbon fibre' (plastic) model. You can also downgrade the 3-year 'next business day' warranty to the standard 3-year option to no discernible difference to save around $150.

      Otherwise have a look at Lenovo. You'd be able to get something comparable for around this price.

      • trixpan on 26/12/2020 - 22:25

        Outlet is great however afaik the latitude range lacks ryzen CPU's so you are stuck with Intel iGPUs :-\

    • 1bug on 23/12/2020 - 13:20

      This is an entry-level XPS 13. Being a premium ultrabook, they rarely go below $1500 unless they're on clearance, which this one is.

      Note that this is for the White colour only. The Silver model with with 256GB SSD cost slightly more.

    Bought one of the 15 3505's for the wife a couple of week back. Delivery was quick and she's happy with it but aesthetically I'd say it's very bland. Keyboard, palmrest and bezel are the same colour grey and without any accents or shading to break it up it just seems like there's way too much grey in front of you and it looks pretty dull and uninspiring. Pretty happy it's hers not mine tbh just for that reason alone.

    Bought one of the 15 3505's. Usable ram is only 5.9GB. 2.1GB is hardware reserved. What does that mean. Is it a faulty module or is the graphics card using some of it?

    • 1bug on 25/12/2020 - 00:50

      The onboard Vega 8 Graphics will use some of the memory, though 2.1 GB sounds excessive.

      Are you running an external monitor thru the HDMI port?

      • El Grande on 28/12/2020 - 06:27
