Wondering if you can help in deciding in which Dell Inspiron 15R laptop I should get withing my budget (for general usage). Any offers/promosions on Dell Inspiron 15R in AU?
Dell don't usually have promo code for the cheap end of the market (< $1000 laptops) — not for a while as far as I can tell.
It's also interesting to see that it's actually more expensive to buy that in India than in Australia, especially when you can claim GST back at the airport which makes it even cheaper. Dell AU do not even sell 15R with 2GB of RAM. I am not sure how the international warranty and warranty transfer would work — something that you might need to look up.
That's if you are determined to get Dell Inspiron 15R, which IMHO is a bit overpriced at $599 for a 15.6" i3 in a consumer grade chase.
