    What do you mean by optional thunderbolt does this laptop has it or not?

    • netjock on 22/07/2024 - 17:05

      Usually an option depending on how the company ordering wanted.

      Other half had a 5300 without thunderbolt.

      I'd suggest looking at the 7300 or 7390 which of the 3 refurbs I have ordered all come with thunderbolt.

      • CyberMurning on 22/07/2024 - 17:41

        how much roughly i have to budget for 7300 7390 ?

        • netjock on 22/07/2024 - 18:54

          I got a 7300 with 8gb ram, 256gb ssd for $250 is the lowest I think I have gotten. $10 for another 8gb of ram (it has 2 slots like this one. 7390 only has 1 slot)

    wow this probably worth as investment seeing the price is going up

    • bobwokeup on 22/07/2024 - 17:59

      Agreed although only slight difference is that one was 70% battery.

  • bobwokeup on 22/07/2024 - 16:41

    The i7 only has 65% battery, is it worth buying and then changing the battery later?

    • liquornoodlescabbage on 22/07/2024 - 16:56
      +2

      A more degraded battery usually means the machine has been used a lot more too, so probably not. The i7 is still only a quad core.

    • netjock on 22/07/2024 - 17:03
      +3

      i5 is also quad core with hyperthreading. If you look at CPU benchmarks there is little benefit in getting the i7

    guys, will it be a good htpc to watch 4k on tv ?

  • Dauphin on 22/07/2024 - 20:41

    Thunderbolt or no Thunderbolt. I would happily order 2 but it can tell whether it has thunderbolt or not. Ambiguous listing.

    • bobwokeup on 22/07/2024 - 21:33

      Is that what allows it to connect to a docking station?

      • bobwokeup on 23/07/2024 - 10:33

    @MetroCom please confirm if postage for warranty issues ae covered by Metrocom. Last time this was for sale you did say yes, but now I see this (website):

    Please note that return postage costs are borne by the buyer, and shipping fees are non-refundable.

  • Senator Mendoza on 23/07/2024 - 13:38

    @MetroCom Could you let me know the battery size in these laptops? The Dell site says the 5300 has either 42Wh or 60Wh. Thanks!

    Good price, but 8gb and 250 ssd is a real pain. I can't do even Internet browsing on this. And old ssds were not really reliable. And this particular model has noisy and not well performing fan.

    • bobwokeup on 25/07/2024 - 16:53

      Oh great that’s all I need it for and have already ordered. Surely they have a cooling off period so I’ll test it out and see how it goes. Not that it would make much difference, but I got the 16GB one!

      • Ozzster on 25/07/2024 - 17:02

        16Gb for me makes a real difference. For instance, one tab in Chrome with Youtube.com without advertise takes 2GB RAM.

        • bobwokeup on 25/07/2024 - 17:07

            @bobwokeup: I would be concerned during summer heatwaves. I don't think you can use such device when it's +45 around. It may work, but sounding like Boing and on half of performance with periodic shutdowns when Windows run anything heavier than txt.

            • bobwokeup on 25/07/2024 - 17:38

              @Ozzster: Yeah fair enough. I’ve got a work laptop so this one is only for when I don’t have my work laptop with me. Would have been nice if I could use it to stream Netflix movies when away but that doesn’t sound possible at all. *Edit even not streamed if I download them before but not liking my chances.

                @bobwokeup: Netflix usually gives reduced quality, which is easier to run from hardware perspective. But if it will be encoded in HEVC that will need some cpu power, and here we go with all the issues mentioned above. But don't worry if this is just FullHD.

                • bobwokeup on 25/07/2024 - 18:02

                  @Ozzster: Cool yeah most we watch are FullHD. As long as it’s not blurry I’m happy haha

                    @bobwokeup: On its own screen anything will be fine. But if you want to attach an external 4k display you'll need to be more careful with the content. For example, GoPro videos that you made yourself in top quality will be freezing. Netflix also may upgrade to that level eventually. This happened with youtube, which was running fine on Pentium 4 until their change of codec. Netflix already has AV1 codec streaming, don't expect it working well on this device. Or, they will reduce quality up to the blurry level to make it working.

                          If you want to download the videos your bottleneck will be the 250gb ssd, which can take roughly Windows itself and 4 average Blue Ray disks/movies.

    • bobwokeup on 28/07/2024 - 17:09

        I'm the same.

        Although I've checked battery replacement prices and they range from $60 to about $100

        If I got decent enough battery life for 6 months and had to purchase a new battery I wouldn't mind too much.

      Using BatteryInfoView - Battery health 91.6%. No cycles, so must have always been plugged in which is weird.

    One last thing. Go to the Latitude 5300 support site and download the latest Dell drivers. It finds LOTs including BIOS etc.

    • bobwokeup on 31/07/2024 - 10:53

      There are so many, how do we know which ones need downloading? I’ve owned a Mac for years so never had to do things like this.

      • boxall on 31/07/2024 - 10:56

        I always go with the manufacturer's recommendation. When you get Mac updates it comes from the manufacturer as well.

        I like an updated computer.

  • boxall on 31/07/2024 - 12:10

    And for those into retro gaming, this emulates up to and including the Dreamcast perfectly. Haven't tried PS2 as yet.
