Just as an aside as I was just looking it appears to be in stock again right now, and there's still a 10% off code listed in the voucher section that looks like it should work. InspiredJan17 .Not tested it mind since I got the deal last time!

These 30 screws... is it obvious which ones?
And was the hard drive caddy mentioned above still OK?

Same mate I had the Evo lying around from my old PC done the trick. Rapid boots in about 20 secs :smile:

So did I! seems they just create delivery estimates out of thin air!

I dread to think what the shell will look like once i've finished butchering it hten! ha!

Which SSD did you go for? I was looking at Samsung evo 120gb (price over size!)

Nightmare, will definitely just use the optical replacement for the drive, was going to add another 8gb RAM, although it's running very quick at the moment, so that could wait!

Got to say would definitely recommend scratch and dent, may have just got lucky but i cannot see any problems with it, to the extent i wouldn't complain if this was bought as new!

Not bad graphics to be honest. Can handle lower games. Also this case is a b*tch to take apart to add a SSD haha!

Use the tool to make a bootable USB image.

Received mine as well. Damage was very small marks on top of lid, but also got an issue that the trackpad seems to be incorrectly fitted. Right button seems to go down further than you would expect and catches on the side of the case cut out it is in. Think I might have to ring them as feeling this is a defect, not part of the scratch and dent!

Received mine

Download that onto a USB stick?

Yes just download this and then replace your HD with the SSD and boot from USB :smiley:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10

Nice, I'll have to check mine (came on Thursday).
I also want to put in a SSD instead of the DVD. Is there a guide out there for how to put Windows 10 on there and boot from that drive? Thanks

​just checked again. now states, Estimated Delivery Date: Order Shipped.

can't access the tracking information. what's the chance of a Saturday delivery...

Mine had changed from the 20th to the 30th last night but is now marked as shipped. No tracking details though so who knows when it'll arrive.

​no, it's just states, status: work in progress

Have you now got Package tracking details?
This seems to have updated this morning, for me. Although nothing in the 'status' or 'shipped on' section, just the 'Carrier' (WUK)

You may have a point there, don't want to push too many buttons and have the order cancelled! I'm assuming they constantly have returns etc. and so just wait until another one comes back...

Nice! I saw that option/upgrade on some others, not sure it's amazing graphics, but it's dedicated so i assume a lot better!
I'm just hoping it will be FHD etc. i assume they can't lower the spec given, and will only offer better models (as they seem to have done with yours)

​Yes, same for me

30th January now!

I'm not bowled over by the pad either, or the small individually spaced keys but guess I will get used to it, nothing to do with deal as could have found these points out if if I'd done my research about the model

Mine came today, its has a 15.6 Inch HD (1366x768) Truelife Non Touch Display, which is what I ordered in my haste to get in before the deal expired. Another thing I have noticed is how clunky the pad is, I have older Dells and they don't seem to suffer the clunk I'm getting on this one, I think it may be going back.

19th which is today

​Great news. who do Del use for delivery?

What was your original date?

Mine is now due to arrive on the 27th apparently

Quality mate :smiley: What colour was it?

Ah ok, fair enough. In that case, the i5 option you listed is an absolute bargain.....good find. :sunglasses:

It's a very strange clunky website. Click the link provided in the email.

Same here, just seems like they haven't updated the tracking number on there. If you search by order and customer number it should show.

Same issue here

Pretty much the same to be honest pal. The I5-7200U is slightly more powerful than the I7-6500u. The ram is better slightly however it is DDR3 and the one on this is DDR4 you're getting 8gb more though.

Thanks.
Am no expert by any means; but that seems to be worse (processor, ram)

There's two more powerful Inspiron 15 - 5559 models with i7 processor, 16GB models available for £490 if anyone's after one of those:

Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-6500U Processor (4M Cache, up to 3.10 GHz)
Windows 10 Home (64bit)
16 GB Dual Channel DDR3 1600MHz Memory (2x8GB)
2 TB 5400 RPM SATA 6Gb/s Hard Drive
8X DVD+/- RW Drive
2GB AMD Radeon R5 M335 Graphics
Software
Intel® Centrino® Wireless-AC 3160 + Bluetooth 4.0
LCD Back Cover for Non-Touch Screen - Silver matte
40 WHr, 4-Cell Battery (removable)
15.6 inch LED Backlit Display with FHD resolution (1920 x 1080)

a little concerned now. When i log into my account it can't find any orders, although it still says processing when clicking the link from the confirmation email...

Will do, arriving tomorrow!!! :stuck_out_tongue:

​overtaken me then! please let us know what it's like!

Mines now shipped. Looking forward to seeing what I've ended up with as this was a bit of a lottery! :smile:

same

Mine is now confirmed. Listed as work in progress. Hope they don't make too many scratch and dents! :smile:

Got my order confirmation earlier today.

Same here

Mine hasn't confirmed

Haha true mate, just didn't want to wait on delivery though!

HA, will do, although most sellers use the term 'UK' very loosely and they end up being imports anyway!

Haha yeah mate we shall see. Also you've twisted my arm on removing the DVD drive so If you find a decent 6 quid on from the UK drop us a link. Only ones i've found are from Hong Kong :sunglasses:

cheers, ebay is blocked on my work machine, but from google results they seem to be around £6, so happy days! glad yours is all correct, as you say really hoping we have as much luck as everyone else seems to with 'scratch and dent'

All sorted the PDF is correct. Now just hope they're not demolished. Also your HDD caddy is a lot cheaper on eBay

that's strange! where does it say that?
Under description on the pdf mine has Inspiron 15 5567 ...

Brilliant! What did your order confirmation say? Mine says 'Printed Wiring' :confused:

Me too! :smile:
Thanks Sky Blue!!!

I have now received order confirmation :smile::smile::smile:

Looks like it. No-one needs DVD drives these days anyway! SSD and keep the 1TB as storage :smile:

Ideally yes, i presume i need this (link) or a variant?

Also I've had order confirmation for Printed Wiring :/ hahaha so hopefully that's the laptop!

I take it you want to use the bay drive and totally do away with the DVD drive? So you will have 2 internal Hard Drives?

Is anyone else planning on fitting an SSD? Trying to find out if it's possible to use the drive bay, can't find any articles on it so far...

Dell must be busy scratching and denting a few new ones to fulfil all orders :smile:

By the way Curry's sell this laptop at £579.99

http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/dell-inspiron-15-5000-15-6-laptop-black-10152531-pdt.html

Ditto. Looks like we will be getting our scratched/dented laptops

​meant to reply rather than like, don't take it personally, nothing to dislike! :wink:

just noticed I have the payment now pending on my CC

Anyone had the money taken from account?

Nothing since Thursday

Nowt, Nada, Nothing - no news is good news?1?

Strange. On the Acknowledgment it says within '5 days' you should receive confirmation. Not 5 working days. Hopefully they haven't listed stock they don't have.

I've still not heard anything, not sure if they don't operate over the weekend!

Still nothing?

Still nothing?

Not heard anything after acknowledgement

​ordered around 1700 yesterday and received email "Dell Order Acknowledgement - Internet Receipt Number: GB..." nothing since

​+1 I've not heard anything, did order it a lot later than the deal was posted (4pm Friday) hoping the stock numbers were correct!

Anyone had their order confirmation? Got an acknowledgement last night when ordering by nothing more

1.1% quidco/TCB.

OOS now.

Ordered for £333.73 thanks dude:)

where did you get the 20% off code? What code is that?

​Did you notice yellow screen?

Cold - Mine went through for £333.73 misleading and has pushed me over my budget!:confused:;)

Still 6 in stock also, please unexpire!

Thanks OP, for the impulse purchase i wasn't sure i needed!

What's the returns / refunds policy like on Dell Outlet? I'd risk a scratch and dent one if I could return it easily.

does the 7 in 7200 denote the series? (prob dumbest question asked) there seems to be seven in stock, just deciding whether to buy!

Is it possible to add SSD in this one?

This is undoubtedly a great deal, but just watch the prices on some things at Dell Outlet. I was going to buy the T20 Poweredge with 30% off, but it's actually cheaper to buy new with cash back through the deal posted on here a month ago.

Why expired? There's stock.

I am using the same laptop received two days ago, the only thing I have noticed as compare to my previous dell 4th generation the screen is bit yellowish, maybe it get better with time..............

Got one. Thanks

i5 7200u is dual core and passmarks at 4706, which is useful.
Lot of spec for the money IMO, but not familiar with this model.
Deserves to be hotter than 106 degrees !

More I5 - 7200U back in stock. Just keep refreshing the page.

I've just checked and unfortunately there are no more i5 versions of this only i3.

I was too late. :disappointed:

Can a mod please remove the 'EXPIRED' deal please. As when people add this to their basket it does momentarily go out of stock. If people don't purchase it's added back on. There's still 5 left.

Ditto - have some heat OP

Brilliant price on a refurb. Dell scratch and dent? Nah.

I don't see any either. Not listed for £309.01 anyway.

Refurbished?

It's OOS now. I saw 7 in stock and by the time I got to the very last page with card details, it said 1 in stock. After I ordered it's gone from the site.

Linky please?

link not working

Got one, cheers.

Have you got a link please SkyBlues1990? I don't see any showing at that price?

I hate Dell but that's a brilliant price for the components you are getting.

great price heat for that :smiley:
