      I picked up a dell in the last deal untech posted, my machine is consistent with their "excellent condition" it does have light scratches on the top , the screen and keys are like new. So maybe not perfect for gifts if the scratching is an issue.

    Hey everyone,

    • PayPal is now active
    • Cosmetically, our units are clean, very minor signs of usage with barely any scuffs marks or scratches. Basically, Grade A condition.
    • Battery health is excellent which is top tier in Dell and can be checked in Bios.
    • These laptops are sold with 6 months warranty. Please refer to our website for T&Cs.`
    • The J man on 17/09/2022 - 11:42

      PayPal is now active

      Thanks for that, ended up ordering once Paypal went active.

      Glad to know it wasn't an issue on my end.

  • [Deactivated] on 17/09/2022 - 12:15

    Which battery do these come with?

    • [Deactivated] on 17/09/2022 - 16:58
      +1

      Since the rep isn't responding to requests for information on batteries, I did some quick reading given I need a long battery life.

      While replacement batteries are easy to find, it's not possible to upgrade from the 42Wh battery to the 60Wh as they operate at different voltages.

      • Associateduntechsupport @ UN Tech on 17/09/2022 - 23:52
        +2

        You are correct it is not possible to upgrade to 60wH

        The units we have comes with 60wH.

        Hope that's helpful

        • Jackson on 18/09/2022 - 00:51

          How different is the voltage? If the voltage is within the correct range/close enough it should work. I haven't heard of the same hardware needing to manage a different voltage before, but I am no expert. Also you need to be a bit cleaner when you say you can't upgrade to 60Wh but it comes with that.

    Just got my laptop and it all looked pretty good but unfortunately the panel is damaged. You couldn't tell when it is off but when turned on and with a black background you can see a line going down it. Something to check for everyone else.

    @untech sent an email to support. Hoping return postage is offered for DOA/faults like this.

    Got the laptop today and would be returning now.
    2 major faults, screen hinge are very lose and its always moving.

    The screen is definitely having some resolution issues and some of the colour shows blur linings.

    Deal breaker for me. Have sent email to their support for organising return.

    We are back on today to fulfill the remaining orders or cater any queries or issues that we have. Kindly reach us out on our website with your order number and any questions that you have. Cheers

  • twjr on 26/09/2022 - 20:06

    I've got one on the way and with the feedback here I'm not feeling confident. I know that feedback generally has a negative bias but the lack of positive comments about recently shipped orders has me worried.

    • twjr on 03/10/2022 - 14:00

      My thoughts so far. I received my laptop on Friday and, while I'm reasonably happy with the quality of the machine itself, I would describe the condition as used rather than refurbished.

      First impressions weren't great as the body and screen were obviously grimy from the previous user. 5 minutes with some isopropyl alcohol and a microfibre cloth sorted that. Then, as with several other users here my screen hinges were very loose. A quick Google search showed that this might be something I could solve myself. Sure enough, another 5 minutes with a spodge and a #1 Phillips and the hinges were like new. When I get a chance I'll put some Loctite on those screws to make sure they stay tight. Honestly, less than 15 minutes work works have completely change my first impression, and probably a few other people above too.

      The battery is about at about 35% wear (~40Wh remaining from 60Wh), which I wouldn't describe as "excellent", but it isn't a replace right away problem either.

      Like marlin below, the biggest issue is that after a system reset the licence is still locked to QBE. I've contacted untech to get this sorted as at the moment the computer is inaccessible.

      • davemac on 03/10/2022 - 20:03

        I found a work around for installing Windows 11, but I'm not sure if it will continue working so I have also emailed about getting it deregistered from QBE.

        Google OOBE\BYPASSNRO. This allowed me to install Windows 11 with a local account which you can then sign in to your Microsoft account with.

        Instead of connecting to Wifi (or ethernet):
        "Open cmd with Shift + F10 and type OOBE\BYPASSNRO. Your computer will restart and now you will have the "I don't have Internet" option."

        • twjr on 04/10/2022 - 00:51

          Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately that work around isn't working for me, so you were right to question how long it might work for you. Best that untech sorts out the licencing issue with QBE.

          • davemac on 07/10/2022 - 12:25

            @twjr: @twjr Do you have a link to the guide for tightening up the hinges?

            • twjr on 07/10/2022 - 23:28
              +1

              @davemac: I worked it out based on the owners manual and a bit of trial and error. https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-au/latitude-14-7490-…

              You need to fold the screen out flat on a hard surface. Then you should be able to fit a spodge (though even a plastic card or your finger nail should work) into the gap on the keyboard side of the screen hinge cover. That is only clipped on and should come off easily. You then find the two silver screws on each side of the screen by parting the WiFi antenna cables and tighten them up. Replace the hinge cover and you should be good. You don't need to remove the screen like the manual says.

    I wanted a clean OS to be safe so I reset Windows from Settings->System etc. and it did so successfully. However on restarting, the new OS setup screens show a QBE logo and asks for a valid QBE email address. So the licence is locked to the previous organisation. I tried my personal Microsoft account email, an error message said personal accounts aren't valid. I then tried a QBE email address, error message said invalid user. I sent seller an email but they haven't responded yet. Another thing, the drive is a Lite-On which I'm guessing is of lesser quality than the original drive.

    • marlin on 29/09/2022 - 11:38

      Seller replied promptly. Apparently previous owner QBE is meant to deregister licence but are slow in doing so. Seller says they will contact them so this will probably work out ok. Ideally this should have been checked before shipping out the laptop.

    • Associateduntech @ UN Tech on 29/09/2022 - 11:48

      Hi Marlin,

      This is quite rare that a registered serial hasn't been released from manufacturer but it can happen and something must have triggered during a reset to original settings (where windows may lookup prior registrations on setup). We have received your email and are in communication via email to get this resolved asap for you. Regarding the hard drive - Lite-On is a common manufacturer of drives. We check the drive health before dispatch, but don't generally specify between hard-drive manufacturers as there is often many different variants in each model. Regards UN Tech

        I have the same issue after re-installing a fresh copy of Windows 11. Its registered to QBE and requires a "work or school" login.

    • The J man on 06/10/2022 - 10:01

      I tried my personal Microsoft account email, an error message said personal accounts aren't valid.

      Mine arrived, happy with the condition, but unfortunately it also seems tied to the previous owner as I couldn't sign in with a personal Microsoft account. Will escalate with the seller.

  • marlin on 05/10/2022 - 09:10
    +2

    Contacted Dell yesterday and quoted service tag number. They confirmed QBE are still the licensed owners. Dell said I could apply for change of ownership. I asked seller to take care of this because I don't know if the chain of ownership between qbe and me will create a hassle for me.
