thinking of getting it

To everyone recommending using Dell outlet, I'd advise against it. I received my Dell FHD i5 6200 (scratch & dent - with barely a discernible mark on it) only to find it crashing every 5 minutes and a keyboard that didn't fit the frame properly. I have since waited 3 weeks for it to be collected, with 2 collections not turning up thus far due to some apparent technical issue on Dell's behalf. Having complained and being promised that a supervisor would contact me regarding 2 wasted days, I'm still waiting for their contact a week later. I won't be purchasing from Dell again. The current crop of laptops in general, having researched and tested many in stores, including sending back a Lenovo, a Toshiba and now a Dell, in my humble opinion is of poor quality. And windows 10 is just too buggy. When I finally settle on a new one, I reckon it's going to be an older model with Windows 7.

Dell & HP computers are cheap and nasty even when brand new. I hate to think what a refurbished computer from them will be like. You'll be looking for a new PC after a year, when it starts to break down and components fail, and that's regarding brand new computers!

Was looking at the HP ENVY 13-d008na Full-HD Laptop or the HP Spectre 13-4108na x360 Full-HD Laptop with as it has 8GB ram and a smaller but better screen. and you get a good student discount with HP.

is this expired now?

Dell Inspiron 15 - 5559 is FHD and dedicated graphic cards.

HP Pavilion 15 is 768 and onboard graphic card. The HP just the specs do not worth £400. Not to mention HP Pavilion is a consumer laptop, quality and durability could be an issue.

Dell is clearly better.

I do not know how you read the specs.

YMMV on whether you find that a problem. Some don't like the 'hassle'. Mileage varies a lot in life. :wink:

Do not do that.

Dell Inspiron 15 - 5559 is clearly better value for the specs, and mostly likely better quality too.

I remember buying a NC10 for £300 some years ago...ugh. This laptop is good value and well-specced.

shame its not there anymore, would of loved to get one.

The dell and the HP Pavilion 15-ab291sa 15.6 Laptop seem similar in spec to me. I might cancel the dell order and get the HP one for £360 after discount

I am no computer expert. The Dell has the better screen. The HP has a 2tb hard drive and 2 usb3 ports and is brand new. You can compare specs. Most seem to like dells. I have a lot of 3tb usb3 hard drives. 1 usb3 port is not enough for me.

I can send a student discount code to whoever agrees to pay half of the saved money to a charity.

I got one refurbished some time ago and it's like new. My wife didn't believe its refurbished

I've ended up going for the Dell Inspiron 15 - 5559 £378

Is the HP Pavillion better?

hi, tempted to buy this with the student discount.. or should I get the HP 450?

is this any good?

How would YMMV ? You have an unqualified right to inspect and reject and it's not like you are dealing with dealbeast.

YMMV.

Not a great problem - if you don't like the look of it - send it straight back.

Very true I've had them with absolutely no visible marks and others with huge scratches and even broken usb ports - I still buy them tho as on average it pays off :smiley:

Anyone got a student code i can use please? Thanks

Awful graphics card

klaxon :kLAXON :dive!
you really need an SSD to do this justice .. which you could probably add , as well as, or instead of the 1tb hard drive.

I'm anti-AMD

I always try to buy best value in budget and be a bit future proof and able to do most things.

Hi after some advice I paid £629 for this the other day not sure if it was such a good deal now for the ram 2 core/quad core processor.

any comments or better machine for same price

thanks

I am surprised to hear that as the SP4 seemingly only supports the Skylake Core m3-6Y30 (0.9 - 2.2GHz) which is quite a bit slower than the Broadwell Core M in this one (1.2 - 2.9GHz).
I'm assuming that Skylake Core M is not a big upgrade as per other Skylake CPUs but haven't read a detailed review yet...

Added: Found benchmarks and even the fastest m7-6Y75 underwhelms:
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Core-m7-6Y75-SoC.149445.0.html

Would this be able to run GLQuake at 60fps?

I'm sure the reviews for this were poor, something about the screen being poorly made or fitted.

Yeah the old gen core m doesn't perform very well, I owned a 12 inch macbook with maxed out configuration but it still slow by my standard, however the new core m performs pretty well on my SP4. For daily use I would go for core m due to the low power consumption and fanless design.

Too different to compare but better value I'd say.
The Core M CPUs are slow for sustained loads as they are thermally throttled in tablets/hybrids due to lower acceptable temperatures in handheld devices.
Also convertibles including this one are top heavy so can be a bit unwieldy when on the lap but fine on a desk.
If you can live with that this is a bargain.

checked just now, the 370 one back to stock, I added to my basket, if anyone wants it just tell me and I will release :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks

how to get student discount?

There was only one Scratch and Dent which has either been sold or is sitting in someone's basket for a while.

Not sure how your getting £370.80
Comes up as £418.80 with vat and delivery for me

They vary quite a lot so don't take anecdotal evidence from people who have bought only one as being significant.
Not likely to have dents these days but sometimes they are quite scratched or stained.

URL never works right...

and some other good value laptops also on the site

Looks good value.
