Definition of insanity. Doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results, expect I don't know who the crazy ones are - Dell for posting these deals when their site is not up to coping with the demand, or us mugs for wasting our time trying to get them.

Amazing deal thanks OP - does anyone know if it is an easy job to replace HDD with an SSD on one of these laptops?
Thanks

All Dell kit is simple to undo so long as you the right Youtube video. Go to Crucial page and get compatible SSD.

Great deal, possibly better than the John Lewis one posted yesterday!
Uncommon Sense to loop
28 Nov 162#8
If say the JL one was much better value for money.
- Bigger 17.3" screen (negative for some I suppose)
- Faster i7 7500U processor
- Discrete AMD 445M 4 GB graphics card
- 3 year warranty, vs. 1 year here.

28 Nov 161#9
This is £100 cheaper though.
Yep a 15" screen is better for most - also makes it much lighter.
Extra USB 3.0 here.
Will the processor speed difference be that noticeable? 7th gen i5 still quick.
All depends what you want it for.

damn, i already bought the ideapad 310 amd a12 from jlewis for £330 :disappointed: , my only beef with dell is that they sometimes have some shoddy reliabilty issues. 1 year warranty would be a concern.

275gig crucial ssd 70 quid caddy 5 quid.
oops didn't see deal of the day 525 gig crucial ssd for 80 quid. plus 5 quid for caddy.
no would be my answer. you can upgrade then the options of shaping out dvdrw for the old hdd or use old hdd in a caddy for 1tb storage via USB.

Get the hp 250 deal in instead. £250
wolfraider
28 Nov 161#14
This is for general use computing, browsing the web, word docs, spreadsheets, powerpoint, media creation, very light gaming. Only slightly better performance than the i3 which was at £199 but you won't see any difference if you bought say an i3 and added an SSD. So for £150 extra, nearly the price of 2 x i3 laptops, is it worth it. Absolutely not :neutral_face:
brum to wolfraider
28 Nov 161#16
you are aware it has ddr4 ram and is quite a bit better processor? a 5th gen i3 v a 7th gen i5 ?
and a full HD screen ?

Another deal with no SSD. Is it £200 off all Inspiron laptops or just that one model? Link goes no where and no script blocks java on dell website for being unsafe. Might be better value going for this and upgrading HD.
Brand new CPU but still not using SSD. Wow.
Voted hot for OP efforts.

Huh? That's news to me I could probably be described as an all out Dell fanboy if you looked at my kit and it's all been rock solid apart from when I dropped a vostro v13 down the stairs (RIP). My tank of a precision m6400 is still going strong I can't bear to part with it (and I'm not strong enough to lift it into the bin).

I don't care how good the deal is. My dignity's worth more than going through this process for a third time with Dell and their alleged website. I've taken my money elsewhere for a company that won't treat me like mindless cattle.

Oh man. I payed £120 more for this laptop, albeit with the dedicated GPU, a month ago.

The laptop is alright. Battery life could be better. Screen isn't IPS but is alright for a TN.

28 Nov 161#30
just my experience, i had a £500 dell laptop i used for uni years ago which managed to unsolder the graphics chip due to heating issues after 2 years, it was a common problem that dell knew about but never fixed. The more expensive stuff probably has higher build quality but their cheaper stuff has motherboard issues. i`ve owned 3 dells before, 2 of the cheaper ones broke after 1-2years use. the only one that has lasted cost £800 at the time.
stretch you fingers and get your F5 ready because you are going to be pressing it a whole load for hours !!!!

For those looking to purchase this like I was for an uncle, be aware that the battery is integrated into the case and cannot be replaced when it no longer holds charge. You'll either need to send it back Dell to be replaced, or open it up yourself and replace it if you know how. The Dell site doesn't allow a swappable battery to be selected which is kind of BS. I confirmed this with a Dell Sales person online.

Biggest difference is likely to be that people actually managed to order the one at John Lewis.

Here we go again - added to basket at 12:00 precisely, to be greeted with the omnipresent "we are attempting to get this deal for you". It's not going to happen is it?!

They should have use an Amazon lightning deal waitlist style system but then I suppose it would be obvious they only had 10 available at that price.

Just did the chat and got fobbed off big stylee. I said I had it in my basket with the price reduced and they said please choose another model. I repeated it was in my basket, discount applied and she said how about I do it manually for £399. I said no, £349, she said "Kindly try the next doorbuster" and logged off.
Oh well, at least my welding regulator turned up today so I can carbonate my homebrew and get roaring drunk in the road.

I was lucky to get one, I kept my patience over the Black Friday for passing those deals. I was only happy on two deals so far, one is this deal and the other one was the John lewis one yesterday due to three years warranty. Keep your eye, I guess there will be some odd deals (with no signs) popping out today just like the one on JL yesterday.
