I've had my Dell XPS system with the 3070 card for about 2 weeks now and can't fault it. I've build my own systems for years too. But for the price of the unit given the price of individual components it was a no brainer. If you are on the fence with the 3060ti system and you have checked external pricing, I'd say go for it.
Totally agree, the price of components have gone too far and for $1k9 this deal is great.
At $1799, the only drawback of the G15 3060 5515 is the dull screen.
Clicked on link and got no answer on dull screen
Check their site before ordering, prices not much different vs ebay for some laptop I looked at
Is this a targeted promotion?
Tried it on G15 5511 and it says, "This code can't be applied to your order."
Just ordered one - worked fine for me - delivery is Nov 5. :-(
Edit: Oops, sorry - I ordered 5515, not 5511!
Same problem here, not sure what happened. Did it work for you now?
Nah still the full price. I've sent them a message on eBay; let's see what they come back with.
I tried to order from a different device, and through the eBay website rather than the app, and it worked for me. I hope it helps.
@vincentlss: Only the eBay AU accounts are eligible for this promo. My one's registered to ebay.com, had to open a new one.
Does the G15 5511 have expandable storage? The specs look good but 512GB is not much for modern games.
Is the delivery time Nov? Did someone order dell from eBay before.
I ordered the 5515 from ebay which said Nov. 5 - but the Dell website (not ebay) says " In Stock for Fast Delivery Ship Date 21/09/2021"
It seems like no fast delivery on the Dell eBay.
Do Dell XPS still use a black sticker as the screen bezel? I had an early one and it kept warping as the screen warmed up.
Do the desktop pc no longer come with CD/DVD/blu ray drives these days, don’t think I see any mention of this on specs.
My hp touch screen must be over 10 years old now as is my laptop and I fancy upgrading them to someone else.
But sort of at budget price or just above as don’t want to splash out heaps on top of range stuff which most I probably not use.
I see dell don’t have touch screen is this a thing of the past not that I even used it much on the hp.
The Dell XPS Desktop in this deal has an optical drive….
Most desktops do not these days.
Wow they don’t I loved burning cds and playing stuff on them, I suppose can always buy external ones these days but just more stuff to carry around or to add to it, seems silly to me.
Yes I know all going digital etc but nice to have options.
That is bit high for me anyway and would expect monitor etc etc whole package I’m looking at under 1k for desktop and even much less for laptop.
I take laptops still have though.
You probably want something that doesnt have a bigass GPU for gaming then. Theres plenty around tht would suit your needs for under $1k if you're happy with onboard graphics etc.
Trying to decide whether to hold out for a decent <$1.5k RTX3060 laptop deal or just go for the $1k G15 here.
Targeting 90% home use, 50% gaming but happy with medium quality gaming (warzone, Apex, whatever similar comes next) if it gets me stable >60fps@1080.
(Other option is console + light/cheap laptop)
Is this deal good enough or wait?
Get the $1k ryzen by the sounds of it
Thanks - yeah that's what I'm thinking - meets my requirements and finding it hard to justify spending more when it's good enough.
At $999 the 5515 is a solid option, not a "buy now think later" deal but definitely worth a look.
5600H + RTX 3050 is a solid combo for the price, and you get two SODIMM slots for RAM upgrades and two M.2 2280 SSD slots. It is also efficient when not gaming, you could probably see up to 10hrs of work & up to 13hrs of video playback.
The more expensive 3060 configurations of the G15 (5515 at least, dunno about 5511) have real thermal issues, where both CPU & GPU run extremely hot - CPU to 100C so the base model is sort of a blessing in that regard.
It definitely has it compromises as you might expect for the price, like a lacklustre 250nit, 60% sRGB 120Hz display with response times so bad it's identical with 60Hz panels and 2 of the 4 USB ports being only 2.0, up to you if it's worth it.
Re heat that was largely addressed via bios update so the fans kick in earlier
East to return if doesn't like?
Yeah, fairly easy with Dell within 30 days
i just want a pc/laptop can play battlefield 2042. no need 4k. any recommendation?
How Ryzen 5 laptop compared to the Acer Nitro 5 which is on special in HN the other day? It's mainly for my kid first gaming laptop.
Appreciate the thought
If I remember correctly, Ryzen CPUs weren't the best for FPS gaming a while. Is that still true? If I want to play shooter games like CS/Val/BF, is it better to get an Intel CPU?
Aim is to play on my Dell 2721DGF 1440p monitor. Waiting to grab a 3070 as well and hopefully that should be enough.
Depends on the CPU specifically but good ryzen is on par with good Intel
I’d like to buy my 8 year old daughter a laptop for her birthday to play Roblox and Minecraft, abit of school work etc.
I’m so over my depth in figuring out what kind of laptop will suit her needs.
Could anyone reccomend a laptop that’s suitable for that level of games?
I was hoping to keep my budget under $800 or so but now I’m not so sure that is feasible?
Any pointers would greatly be appreciated!?! Thankyou!
The M17 R3 is going for $2,198.4
10th Gen i7-10875H 1TB SSD 32GB RAM 2070 Super 300hz Display
Would this be worth vs a other 3060 laptops at similar price?
Or would it be worth waiting for Black Friday deals on 3060 laptops?
Plan to keep whatever laptop I buy for around 4-5 years
I also try to find comparison, not really worth it go back to old gen, if you gonna keep it for 4-5 years, better go after 3060 instead, plus this deal below is way better a while ago, so at $2200 for a 2070 super is no deal.

Yeah, good points. Thank you!
I also think this year coming up Black Friday and Cyber Monday will be BIG, so I am also holding on to that, don't want to regret for much better deals later! Told my son keep having laggy APEX gameplay, although he is not very happy, haha.
Just check this on their list again, all sold out today, can't believe people so crazy, even for old gen spec machines for $2.2k still quickly gone.
i won't buy Dell laptops anymore. going for MSI, a much better and reliable brand
This is also another worry for me, having Asus now and is rock solid. Saw too many bad complains on Dell laptops, hate to see spending over $2k and it wont last or keep giving me headaches …
the last Dell i have, the battery was dying and when i contacted Dell, and gave them Service Tags and all, suddenly my battery failed and now nothing will update, even though it is connected to the charger all the time. something dodgey there, i guess.
So you had a dying battery, and are surprised when it actually died……?
no what i am suggesting is, Dell has some kind of tracker thing that can detect/control all the laptops that they have sold and remotely do something to it, like maybe they can freeze your laptop at the touch of a button etc etc.i wonder if anyone else has found this to be so.
Maybe Dan Andrews organised the Earthquake too….
That tin foil hat looks great on you!
When I was a Dell tech, I WISHED for something like this.
For… reasons.
no more stock for 3060ti?
G15 5155 OOS
Looks like desktops with Nvidia GPU cards sell out quickly when on discount. I found a similar story here: https://thors-stuff.com/how-to-get-a-rtx-3070/
My XPS 8490 3060ti is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, super quick!!
I ordered a 5800H/3060 G15 and it's still scheduled for November…
