Just grabbed one for my daughter, she has been looking for exactly this. £340 all in. Thanks OP

3.3% quidco too

Got my 17" from Dell Outlet last month for £440. A "Scratch and Dent" too, but couldn't find anything wrong with it at all, pushing £300 full price discount. Good deal

I'm sorry please forgive my negligence thanks

Ordered. Thanks :-)

I can't find the weight of this laptop, does anyone know if it's light?

Glad to have helped.

Down to 3 now.

out of stock

Shame :-(

If the condition of the laptop is not good when it turns up, can it be returned? The condition is 'scratch and dent' which could cover pretty bad condition though above people have said it was perfect.

If you are in the market for a laptop it's worth checking back daily (stock usually updates 2:30pm-3pm) they are a bargain, latest processor and fast ram and always in perfect condition (so don't worry about 'Scratch and Dent' clasification.

at full price the display in this is not that highly rated but at 340quid i dont think you can complain too much

For the price I was able to do without hte backlit keyboard. Thanks.

Edit: I got one with 1TB HD and the M44X (4GB) for £366 all in. Will slap my SSD I have spare in and will be great for my needs. Do you get a windows USB or is it a serial so I can change the HD and reinstall?

still a few i5 7200 available but plenty of i3 7100 and older i5 6200 available at cheaper prices. not sure why expired hot from me.

I managed to order the one at £366 with 4gb graphics. Full HD so seems a bargain!
Fingers crossed that the condition is good.
Thanks OP!

Good deal.

More lappies available, just got this Inspiron 15 - 5567 for £321 delivered with the 15% off code - "5567187"

Anyone knows how we can get the 15% student discount at the Dell Outlet if we have an NUS extra card?

Nice that it has R7 M440 - even though it appears to have identical performance to the HD 620, it looks like it has 2GB of dedicated VRAM which will help.

very very hot!

How are these laptops outlet with i5-7200U in it? Don't need it but it's a cracking deal imo, heat added!

Thanks!

Just picked up a 5567 without the 4GB graphics as I wouldn't utilise that.
Was hoping for another HP trade in deal this year but doesn't seem to be happening.

SOLD OUT NOW

320 quid for a 7th gen i5 laptop with dedicated graphics is an uber bargain dent or no dent.

Anyone else feel a sense of nostalgia when these outlet deals come along?

Crazy to think the heady days of the Dell Outlet were around 17 years ago when hotukdeals was in its infancy.

Also I think some of us missed the boat in the online deals business opportunity ;-)

Yep, as mentioned yesterday, the stock is replenished and updated around 1.30-3pm - so well worth keeping an eye on.

But where do you have to sent it at your own cost? Ireland at a £50 charge?

Any idea what the delivery times are like? Our Cats killed my Lappy, pussy got away with murder... Not happy

Do you get warrenty?

Rough estimate?

I ordered one last Wednesday and it came this Monday

No idea, never had to send one back

I ordered an Inspiron 13 5378 on Tuesday evening, it's still showing as being in production even though it's a certified refurb. The delivery estimate was on or before the 27th which they may still hit.

Hmmm... I used to work within a similar industry... Release a certain amount of "returns" on the assurance of the staff that could work on that stock... Probably the same thing with much more leeway... But not sure... Assume it never ended up with us Brits unknowingly training up clueless Poles to replace us... Have us bullied out for NMW workers... But yeah... Who needs born and bred loyal patriots within the U.K to do the jobs for the M.O.D, nuclear power plants etc... Best reply on foreign labour on NMW eh??? Now that we were far off NMW btw...

I managed to get the version with the dedicated graphics. Does anyone know where to get another 8gb stick of RAM and 240gb SSD that can go in here at the best price? Would the ssd sit alongside the standard hard drive or have to replace it? Thanks.

I got the one with the r7 m44x but I used the 10% discount code, now I've realised there's a 15% wonder if I could contact them and get the extra 5% off it

How do you get 15% off?

Student with NUS card, mentioned above in other post

​5567187 use that code for 15% discount

So lucky. I had multiple motherboard failures. Poor quality machines. Worst service from any company.
Onsite support is a joke. They expect the user to undertake a repair. Returns were supposed to be Ireland and cost £50. If you buy via your own company 14 day return is not valid as the Distance Selling Regulations are for consumers only. Never again!

UP again 15% code not working for me 10% does £340 all in

Several more are in stock again.

That one expired last night.

Thanks OP. Didn't manage to get the 15% code to work so had to settle for 10%. Hopefully there is no visible damage like others in the thread have said.

I've been looking at the outlet store for weeks and I've only just realised there is a "NEXT" button!!!! Are these still available I can't seem to see any left at that spec.

Can't get either code working! I shall wait it out

I didn't spot the next button until I read this post. I posted the deal a few days back now and it seems they replenish stock fairly regularly.

Good luck.

Cheers

just keep checking, dont buy without a code either as they are there most of the time
the dedicated graphics isn't much but its better than a kick in the teeth - dont overpay just to get it though

edit: supersaver187 should work for 10% there is a coupon section on dell outlet you can check

OOS

Is this a good deal at £315? (-10% discount = £284)

Or should I hold off for now?

Thanks for posting OP, just looked online and back in stock i believe the stock is updated around 2:30pm each day and used NUS discount and got it for £320 with the 15% off.

Any coupon today?

the one with the dedicated graphics is there too for 339 ex vat

Hi thanks for posting this deal it looks good. I was about to buy today but noticed that the 10% discount expired and I can't find another one :disappointed::disappointed::disappointed:

I don't suppose any kind and generous person on here that happens to be a student would let me use their 15% discount code? I'll love you forever if you help me out with this :smiley:

Same deal with the student discount please!

There's a new code for 15% off: Inspired5567188
I just used it. Thanks to op.

Thanks a lot! Just saved £77 with that code on an i7-7500u, 256gb ssd, 16gb ram and 4GB AMD Radeon R7 M44x

Unreal deal.

Went out of stock just as I was going to checkout. Hope there's more tomorrow. Thanks for the new code!

​Which system was this please as on the look out for a similar spec? The only model I can see in stock with those specs is the Inspiron 15 - 5578 2-in-1.

The delivery times on these are long, I ordered one on the 22nd with estimated delivery 28th (today). After I sent an email yesterday to see if it was actually coming today (status shows in production?) it has been updated to estimated delivery next week (5th).
Disappointed.

My advice is keep looking till you get what you want, it will come eventually.

I was looking on the dell site for 3 months, a few times a week, finally got what I wanted yesterday. I just randomly managed to look around 10.30pm and got a great deal.

Inspiron 5567 like the OP, but with i7-7500u, 16gb ram, 256gb SSD, FHD, and dedicated radeon R7 graphics card all for £437 incl VAT and delivery. Scratch and dent.

On their website a perfect model is £863 incl VAT.

They had 2, I bagged one and the next one vanished before midnight.

I am delighted.

After I posted I just looked up a bit and read some of the posts, looks like TarAldarion took the last one!

Well done. Great deal innit.

Yeah it's pretty amazing skimpy, not the best i7 or gfx but at the price how can I complain! Pretty much half price. BTW I asked dell on Twitter to put up an inspiron code yesterday, they had one on the site in a couple of hours!

Same laptop as OP with different components, theya re all gone now but should pop up often, I checked two days and it was there both days, just one or two though. There is one with 8gb ram instead of 16gb which is £25 cheaper and essentially would have the same performance for nearly everybody

Does anyone know if decent 13 inch laptops that are not 2-in-1s pop up on the outlet at all? I mean under £400.
I want something with at least an i5 processor, 8GB RAM and SSD storage, and a 15" laptop is just too big for for what I need it for... Haven't seen anything good over the last few days.

I'd been looking for a few days so just luck really. Ordered the op build (i5-7200, 8GB ram, 1TB SATA, FHD) with radeon card for £346 inc. Good enough for me as mostly about replacing a vista laptop.

I've been reading a lot of negative comments / reviews about the full hd screens in the Inspiron 15 range recently, which seemingly ruin otherwise very good spec laptops. Something about them being cheap TN panels rather than IPS screens, and that they are very poor indeed.

If you want a better graphics card you can always go for this :wink:http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/dell-inspiron-15-7000-15-6-laptop-silver-10153659-pdt.html

Same spec apart from the Gfx and more than double the price. I'm not a gamer anyway so don't need one.

Eric - personally I have read the same about the screen but for the money we paid the best you can find "perfect" is something like I5 6th gen with 8gb ram, 256gb ssd, HD and not FHD, and no dedicated graphics card. Comparing it to £800-£1,000 laptops it is perhaps inferior, but when your comparing it to laptops at £400-£500 it's a no brainer.

Forgot to say. I first saw the 8gb version and inc vat it would have been £24 cheaper, I was just about to click through on that and then I saw the 16gb and was over the moon.

Then I clicked through frantically as a new customer, filled in all the fields and forgot I ordered one from them years back and still had an account so had to go back, reset password all that stuff, and then it took 5 mins for the reset link to come through. It was stressful, I knew they would go very quickly and could not afford to miss out. I think they only confirm it in your cart after you have paid.

My tip would be if your thinking of Dell outlet, get your account in order beforehand, then you can just click through and buy easily. End to end the diversions must have cost me 15 minutes and in that time it could easily have gone.

TarAldarion

FYI. Just this minute received an email from Dell, they say the estimated delivery date is on or before 31st March. I am surprised, I have seen comments in the past that they can take a while to arrive.

Hope yours arrives quickly too.

I tried to click through to my tracking but it shows an order somebody made in 2012 lol. You will get yours first as I'm in Ireland, post up how it goes!

Definitely set up your address and payment card, I even had to set up a postal forwarding address to send it to Ireland for me, and add that address to my debit card account. Then I could just click order when the laptops become available. Also, check earlier in the day if a coupon is available to have it ready.

Don't bet on their delivery dates, mine was supposed to be delivered today but has suddenly slipped over a week with no notice.
Delivery is now 5th April from my order on 22nd.

Anyone received yet and can give some feedback on the screen?

thats not significantly better in terms of graphics and you know it would be a lot less on outlet, you are paying more for the build and better screen

you dont actually have to use it as a 2 in 1 though, tbh i think it may have a better build anyway as its intended to be manhandled changing positions etc?
be sure to read reviews anyway as i see a few models at least have the ram soldered

I'll bear your comments in mind PaulG and post back if I encounter similar issues.

Am I right that the 15% discount code is only applicable against the Inspiron 5567 models? If so are there any other codes that might work for anything else in the outlet store? Cheers

sorry, not sure what point you are addressing or making

Hi I'm after other discount codes too as I've just seen a great deal on an Inspiron 3542 can anyone help?

Thanks

What are the graphics like for the model in the original post?

Hi thanks for your advise I just got the following:-

Inspiron 15 5567
1TB SATA Hard Drive
8GB 2400Mhz SD Ram
Intel® Core™ i5-7200U (Dual Core,3M Cache, up to 3.10 GHz,15W)
2GB AMD Radeon R7 M440 2GB DDR3

For £335 inc VAT and delivery! Can you advise me if this is a good deal or not? I think it's pretty good right?

with the full hd screen? if so yeah if not then you can do better i think

Keeping an eye out for the 5567 that went up last night, how hot do these i7 get these days, got an old i7 HP Workbench that over heats , said I would not get another i7 but for under £450 maybe I might

Is this any good for gaming?

How soon did people get an order confirmation after ordering? I've had an order acknowledgment but it says I should get a confirmation soon after.

Order confirmation came a few hours after I placed my order.

I managed to get the i7, 256 ssd 8gb ram with FHD for £413. Hoping no visible damage as the price is the best I've seen.

Oos

well spotted genius, stock is added at least daily so do you expect it to be reposted again and again?

ETA for me today but Syncreon showing tomorrow. Unfortunate as I'm working from home today but not tomorrow.

Does anyone know if this deal includes Intel HD graphics as I can't see it listed anywhere? Thanks

i5-7200u comes with HD Graphics 620. Anybody got a delivery yet? I'm waiting on mine, curious how bad the screen is.

Thank you!

back in stock

Can you use the 15% Student discount with the 10% or just one?

Thanks OP, I've been hunting for a new laptop in the 300 to 400 region for weeks now, and I've just got order acknowledged on the inspiron i7 7200 8gb 256ssd 4gb graphics model for £413.16. Fingers crossed any damage is minimal, as people have said is usual. Thanks to whoever it was who posted the Inspired5567188 code as well. For anyone else who wants this deal, the stock is updated twice a day, at around 2.30pm and 8.30pm, and you need to be rapid, as last few days the model I was after kept going before I could buy it. Tldr: cheers all, happy hunting

Should say 'i7 7500' not 7200 sorry.

Good for you. Pleasure!

Depends what they have - keep checking. I ordered the i5-7200 with 4GB Radeon R7 M44x & FHD for £346 inc.

Cheers again! Did you go in for this deal yourself?

Think you've got the wrong thread mate.

No, but my friends wife did for his upcoming birthday. She didn't have a clue and needed some assistance on what to buy him. I'm somewhat jealous but really can't justify a new laptop.

Thanks also for posting this. The motherboard on my less than two years old Lenovo g50 randomly died on Monday so this was perfect timing.

My estimated delivery is still showing as tomorrow but I'm doubting that now as the laptop is still "in production".

Just arrived and spot on, a few days later than promised but it looks brand new, red too (not black), any way to get Windows 10 to a more win 8.1 user state?

what did you prefer about win 8?
i went back to windows 7 as part of trying to fix an old laptop and found it was 'useless', just the same feeling as going from 7 to 10 initially basically
just depends what you are used to i think

Mine was 'in production' for over a week, in fact it was still same status when the ETA came around then suddenly slipped over a week. I emailed them my disappointment (ranted a bit) and they responded straight away and things got moving. It is now 'on delivery' - fingers crossed!

btw here is the service manual
http://topics-cdn.dell.com/pdf/inspiron-15-5567-laptop_Service%20Manual_en-us.pdf
good luck :laughing:

Morebeer - Did the order description say "black"? mine does. Hope I don't get a white one, anything else will be ok.

paulG - I reckon I might suffer a similar fate, ordered mine on Tuesday then was happy that expected delivery was tomorrow. Today it's still in production. I just don't know why they don't just give us a 2wk lag to delivery in the first place rather than raise expectations.

Skimpy, as soon as i emailed them giving a bit of stick things started moving fast! The next day it left the facility and this is 2 days later.
There is an action to contact customer support on your order, they replied quickly.

I got mine today, the laptop is spotless, no signs of use at all. I literally can't tell how is this laptop "scratch and dent" as it's described.

Paulg - Thanks. I'll give it a day and then give them a push. Seems a bit premature complaining at the moment. I expected 1-2 wks and only ordered it earlier this week. I was just delighted i got a "scratch and dent" i7-7500u/ 16gb/ 256gb ssd/ Radeon R7/ FHD, for £437. Perfect ones on the site are £799.

Simonsayz - So many other people have said the same, they appear perfect. Hope mine is too when it arrives.

i guess its cos they only seem to have 2 non-new categories
i am guessing
refurb - they've fixed/checked something
scratch dent - everything else
my one (not this model) had a little scuff at the volume controls but that was it

What do people make of the screens that have gotten it? looks very dim and washed out from pictures I see online, is it ok for you?

TarAldarion - I read this review after i got mine, seems to go into some detail regarding the screen. They are testing our machine spec and the only change is 8GB ram vs our 16GB http://www.notebookcheck.net/Dell-Inspiron-15-5000-5567-1753-Notebook-Review.194950.0.html

Like I said a few days ago though at this price point I would normally be looking at HD, and if FHD was 100% a necessity for the same money I'd have to drop down to something like i3/ 4GB/ 128 SSD on the spec to get it for a similar price.

So while I have no expectations that it will be a great panel, in context I expect it'll be good enough for me.

More 5567s i5 in stock today but no FHD, grrrr. Do they only re-stock daily or is it worth checking their stock later on in the day?


Did it say it's black in the specs? Wouldn't be happy with a red version if it states something else tbh.

Fingers crossed that the screen is 'good enough' and the laptop is in good condition.
Looks like it has arrived, I will pick up from MIL later.

only takes a minute to check so why not? i think its added a few times a day and not consistent times like someone has said previously

Hi,
A dell rep told me they update stock at 2.30pm and 8.30pm, but its not exactly at those times, I noticed it varied by up to about half an hour before/after.

I called customer support earlier and they said they'd make sure it's delivered tomorrow like the estimate says but it's still showing as In Production. Fingers crossed

Laptop arrived today, well packaged, surprisingly RED! Not a "scratch or dent" on it, can't really argue with it, really needs an SSD plus another stick of ram but that would void the warranty... Still, for the price it's a bargain.

upgrading ram/hdd/ssd doesn't void your warranty unless you actually break it doing the upgrade

Laptop arrived today. Small number of scratches on the top,but everything else was fine. Might buy another one at this price.

My estimated delivery date has changed from today to April 10th. Annoying when customer support said it would definitely arrive today.

This happened to me, I contacted support through email they replied quickly, and they does it up, laptop arrived 3 days later well before the 2nd ETA.

It has arrived, not a mark on it, grey as ordered.
Screen is disappointing (as the review earlier), dull and viewing angles not good but for the price I can live with it.

Yes I have been completely put off buying the Inspiron 15 due to torrent of negative stuff I've read about the full HD screen. Yes I guess it doesn't matter too much when it's a bargain but I still want a laptop with a nice screen, period.

I ended up emailing them at 6pm yesterday, would have called but the lines close at 5pm.

Delivery date pushed back also to the 10th. They say they have asked the outlet team for a reason for the delay.

I have read some of the comments a bit further up too. I have a tip for anyone looking.

Don't necessarily focus on the inspiron with the 15% off code. Get 2 bookmarks setup for both the home and business coupon pages, then you can see what they are offering as a discount on everything, and check them twice a day. While the stock may change twice a day, the coupon codes change regularly too, and they can make a difference.

For example there is a 15% code on there for XPS machines today which wasn't there yesterday.

Have a Samsung 850 Evo ready to go in mine. Did consider another stick of RAM for dual channel but 16GB is overkill for my needs.
The HDD will be a massive bottleneck, I'm surprised they're still making machines with large HDDs as the main drive.

Yes a SSD will be great. I am looking for a bargain SSD, if need be I will wait for Black Friday.
My only concern is storage, what size have you gone for and do you have other storage? This is our main computer.

​The coupon has changed daily as it forms part of their 5 days deals promotion. It doesn't and hasn't changed throughout the day.

Only a 120GB as I have a big NAS for storage. I would have gone for a 240GB but SSD prices have risen since I last bought one. I remember paying around £50 for a Sandisk 240GB back on black Friday 2015. They're way more than that now.
A little tip for anyone upgrading to SSD and installing a fresh copy of windows - use the USB2 port on the right hand side of the machine if installing from USB media. I couldn't get windows to install when booting from the USB3 ports.

Sold out

Oh oh, you are going to anger brilly.


(the site is restocked every day)

Yes sorry, the deals seem to come daily and then stick around for 1 to any number of days but the stock can be refreshed twice a day. From what I have seen in the last 3 months the coupon deals on offer are a bit random, sometimes there can be zero, sometimes 10 separate ones, sometimes it can be 10% or 15% off everything in stock.

From what I have seen I do think the work/ business deals in general are a bit better than the home deals and I think it's because not as many people go to that part of the site. For those who can handle 12.5 inch screen either HD or FHD and need the portability there has been some great latitude e5270 deals in the work/ business section with the constant 30% off (effectively 16% when VAT is factored in), that deals been on there for months. From memory I saw a i5 6th or 7th gen, 16gb ram, 256gb ssd, FHD for about £450 not so long ago. There's nothing there though at the moment.

Not at weekends though, everone. So don't waste your time. And see you all back here on Monday!

In fact, I just looked out of curiosity, I'm so used to checking it these days I automatically go there even tho I have bought an inspiron.

They have this spec "scratch and dent"

Latitude E5270
Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-6300U (2C, up to 3.0 GHz, 3M Cache, 25W)
Windows 10 Pro (64bit)
8 GB (1x8GB) 2133MHz DDR4 Memory Non ECC
128 GB Solid State Hard Drive
Intel HD Graphics
Intel 8260 Dual band 2x2 802.11ac Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.1
No WWAN Card Included
Non Touch WWAN LCD Backcover
Palmrest : No Fingerprint and No Smart Card Reader (Contact and Contactless)
Power Cord : 250V
Primary 4-cell 62W/HR Battery
12.5 inch HD (1366 x 768) Anti-Glare Non- Touch LCD With Camera
Internal Qwerty Non-backlit Keyboard

Not bad for £429 less discount, making the effective cost £360 at checkout. I reckon that must be about half price(ish).

Ah but you havnt factored the half 8 restock this evening! :wink:

Oooooooo

Not trying to spam or anything but just checked and my order has just changed to shipped.

Chasing them up definitely helped. Thanks for the tip folks.

PS. I already bought mine the other day, but i can't stop checking this thread for all the tidbits on the condition and screen quality, oh the DRAMA! (maybe should get out more)

Just had a quick look on dell "full price", apart from this being a series 7 rather than a 5, so designated e7270 vs e5270, it looks almost identical spec wise to the outlet pc i posted in post #147. Even with the massive savings inc VAT it'd be over £800.

http://www.dell.com/uk/business/p/latitude-e7270-ultrabook/pd?oc=s006le727012ukie&model_id=latitude-e7270-ultrabook

Same here. Gave them a ring this morning (after date changed from today to 10th).

Yes after i chased them the laptop went straight to shipped next morning and was delivered 3 days later.

Thanks very much to the OP. Just got exactly the same spec as posted for £321 (15% discount - Inspired5567188).

Ditto :smile:

Been watching the outlet for quite a few days, wanted something smaller than 15" and not a 2-in-1 and I think I found my laptop!
Just purchased the Vostro 14 - 5468 (Scratch and Dent) - it was £370, got it for £377 after VAT and -15% student discount.
It has an i5 processor, 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD. Not FHD but think I can live with that. Can't wait to get it!

Is anyone else able to track delivery of their order? The link just sends me to a blank table on the Syncreon site

Sent me to a blank page too. But in order confirmation email it says 'order tracking available 7-12 days after purchase'. Strange tho because they've said it should arrive before then anyway.

my syncreon page was updated the day after it was shipped- came 2 days later iirc
think the 7-12 day thing is for proper new machines they need to do stuff to or ship from abroad
rather than outlet ones that they just need to stick in a box and dump in post


:stuck_out_tongue:

​I bought a laptop last night and still no confirmation email. Also it was from the business outlet and it forced me to put in a company name (I am not a company) so I put my own name in that field. Someone above mentioned I might not be protected by consumer regulations in this case? Feeling a bit worried...

No email from me yesterday either. GIve it till Monday, then will phone.

Got an alert from my credit card provider that thought this transaction might be fraud, this morning. Confirmed it and soon after got the confirmation from Dell. Said estimated delivery is 6/4 but I shouldn't get my hopes up I suppose!

More than I've had. Radio silence so far, although a the amount is pending on my credit card.

Promising though, if you've had movememnt today.

Funny, I didn't think to say until I read this, but my transaction failed multiple times, phoned bank and they said it had been blocked as suspicious. I thought it might be to do with dell being based in Ireland. Anyhow, after I spoke to my bank it worked fine. As for order confirmation mine took around 24 hours after I got the acknowledgement email.

cheers op got it today in black as others have said no marks on it well happy. will get a ssd installed does anyone know how to get the dell assist removed of the right side of the task bar

Ordered 27th, arrived today. Can't see anything wrong with it. Colour, specifications as expected.

Did anybody track the order status on the syncreon site prior to delivery?

My ETA is today, they can't give a time so I have had to stay in all day.

Then I refreshed a while back and at 11.45 the status changed to " NOT REC'D/INCOMPLETE IN DEPOT."

So it left the hub but doesn't seem to have got to depot.

It might just be the description or something but I'm starting to get a bad feeling all of a sudden.

anyone upgraded innards yet? manual looked quite awkward
at least the screws are big and easy
so many more ribbons and overlapping stuff than on my older laptop though it seems a bit crappy, guess its to save space but looks odd

i got a 1 hour timeslot from ukmail for delivery on the day it was local to me

I did not get a delivery slot, luckily FIL was in to take delivery.
The syncreon had 'on del' or similar on my delivery day.

Mine arrived today and there's not a mark on it. The screen is worse than I expected though. Text looks sharp but colours look washed out and kind of blurry compared to my old laptop. I can't imagine anyone paying full price and getting such a poor quality screen.

Is that the HD or FHD version your talking about?

Hey there, I just got mine today and I could have said the same word for word, the screen (fhd) is exactly as you say, sharp but dim and dull looking, and I'm not sure yet how I'll get along with it. There is a calibration they suggest here (under 'display' heading http://www.notebookcheck.net/Dell-Inspiron-15-5000-5567-1753-Notebook-Review.194950.0.html ) which may help a little, though I'm not expecting miracles.
But, its in tiptop condition, all I've found is one 2mm mark by the CD drive, that you can barely see.

Mine arrived today and is basically mint condition. While on Youtube, the screen seems ok but when I use a few other apps its clearly visible how horrible the screen actually is. The specs are great but I dunno if I can live with such a horrible screen. I'd rather a non HD screen to this.

Can anyone who bought a non FHD screen comment on how it was...?

Yeah, unfortunately, I'm thinking similarly, I'm torn though because everything else is great, but I think the screen might be just too drab.

Seriously guys, if anyone has a setting to make the screen even slightly human please post it. The screen is so bad I'm starting to think its actually defective. Its so grainy, dull and horrible I'm hard pressed to believe it was designed to be this way.

1 in stock , i7, 256 ssd 8gb ram with FHD for £413 had it in basket, check here read about screen etc added code , gone someone snapped it up,

so is the screen dodgy looking on the i7 5567

This is the model I bought and the screen is below par imo. If you can, I'd recommend spending a little more and getting a version with an IPS panel instead. I'm currently messing with different colour settings hoping to fix the problem as I doubt I'll find this spec at this price for a while.

Let us know if you find some good settings!

I called on Monday and asked if I would get the laptop by the estimated date (6/4) and was told yes. Today it still hadn't shipped, I called again and the agent said he didn't know what the issue was and that he would check and get back to me. Haven't heard back but the tracking page now says 12/4 is the estimated date. I am so annoyed, I am going away on holiday for a week on 8/4 and was really hoping to get it before. I don't understand why they create expectations only to then break them!

This happened to me and others. I emailed one night saying why has it changed, why could it not be shipped asap, it exists 'in stock's when I paid and I was disappointed. They replied the next morning and there was a few emails between us that day, it soon started moving and i got the laptop 3 days later, earlier than their 2nd estimate.
Worth a try.

Hi Paul, thanks, normally I would do this, but tomorrow is the last day I could get it before my trip and there is no way it comes tomorrow, so I might as well wait...

Got mine now, perfect condition, it's new. Mine is the i7 ssd 16gb ram dedicated gfx version. Applied a colour profile but then did a colour calibration instead, much brighter now, colours are all right, much better but nothing special. I do love having a matte screen. Also have true colour on and pumped up brightness to the max. That was all in windows settings. Then went to the intel graphics settings in the tray and put up brightness a little there, and put up saturation, much better. Don't overdo it or it looks weird.

Windows install is like 55gb, seems overkill, may reinstall.

The calibration you did, is it what you have described above or was it more involved? If more please let us have the settings and guide.

There is just a colour calibration on windows and I did that (search for it and it should pop up), just basically messing around with the colours until you like it after I applied the ICC profile linked here. Screen is actually realllllly bright now so i leave it on 75%, colours aren't the best but much better, you can only polish a turd so much.

I got mine yesterday too, been a bit painful getting it.

Supposed to be delivered sometime Tuesday but wasn't, then I was promised Thurdsay morning and they didn't deliver again. Yesterday evening a guy turned up about 5.30pm with it.

The screen's fine imo, maybe a bit white. I've toyed around with it a bit and ok now. I wonder if the matt effect makes it a bit duller than it otherwise would be.

Very fast and quiet overall, the only time the fan's come on is when windows modules kicked in on the windows update and the cpu was running circa 30%, the rest of the time it's silent.

I have been reading around regarding windows, seems like the space taken up is a bit excessive, it's using about 55gb on mine.

One minor thing i can't decide on is whether to stick the display at 125% (recommended) or 150%. The former seems to large while the latter a bit too small.

Overall good I'd have marked Dell higher if it wasnt for the delivery issues.

Thanks, I have never done this before! So it is just click the ICC profile (is that easy?), then do the steps you mention above? I don't want to mess up a brand new machine!

Yeah the colours are a bit washed out but it's fine tbh, I'm glad it's much better than I thought after all these posts. I MUCH prefer having a matt screen so that is sweet, being used to IPS' for all my monitors did make it hard to go back to viewing angles angle.

Yeah the 55GB is huge considering the ssd is only 238GB. Runs quiet and cool enough and batter lasted ages last night.

if the colours are washed out then surely you have just raised the base brightness and hammered the contrast back down?
ips isn't a guarantee of a good screen or tn of a bad one, my tn has very wide viewing angles, good colours, brightness etc - have to check each case by case

Things start to look weird if you do that - I guess it's already been pushed to the max but I'll give it a go again later. No matter what you do it won't be a great screen but as I don't need accurate colour for anything it's all right.

They're not definite all right, just a common thing. My IPS/PLS screens (4 of them, not counting tablets and phones) are amazing but I have had very good TN panels before too, was pretty hard to get a good TN one.

Wait, why do you want to change it from normal 100%? I take it we can just reinstall windows on these things as the key should be tied to the mobo

The default when i got mine was 125% display size and it's a little bit smaller than im used to. 100% makes the text very small. Go to your setting, I expect's its on 125% atm.

I don't anticipate I'll ever need the extra 10mb or whatever I could potentially save from a windows reinstallation so will probably leave as it is.

After being on it a bit more today I love the thing, ultra silent most of the time, and very quick. Coming from a £280 Advent T100 Monza bought in 2013 it's miles better.

Your eyes kinda get use to the horror of the screen but I've ordered a new screen. Figured £34 was worth my not hating this machine as it is very quick and very quiet.

What screen did you get?

This laptop is an emotional rollercoaster! the screen seemed terrible when I first got it, then I fiddled with settings but didn't feel it improved much, then the next day I thought maybe I was being too fussy and it didn't seem as bad as I first thought, then I was watching some trailers for different films and they all looked like the directors had chosen the same colour palette and lighting styles.. Namely dark shadows and blueish tint with very few colourful scenes, and I even watched some Disney trailers! BUT otherwise I love the rest of the thing. I'd love to change the screen but I've never done one and I'd be scared of damaging things.

I got a AU OPTRONICS B156HAN01.2 It's an IPS panel and the reviews from those who made the change were very positive. I'll be attempting to change mine over tonight so hoping for the best.

where did you get that for 34quid? definitely an AU and not a compatible?

Its a fake:( guess it was too good to be true. I'll still try to get the panel but I'll prob end up paying closer to £60 if I'm lucky.

Think I'm going to keep hold of it despite the poor screen. After looking into it its not too complicated to change the screen so I will probably do that at some point. Found a thread about the inspiron 7567 on reddit, seems even the top end inspirons had the same bad panel. https://www.reddit.com/r/SuggestALaptop/comments/5q8omp/update_on_inspiron_15_7567_gaming_laptop/

Was finally able to open up my new Dell Vostro 14 inch laptop I got from the outlet - no scratches or dents, seems really great! The screen is not FHD but I am finding the colours just fine. Really pleased!!

Hi all,

Just wanted to know if you had purchased this laptop recently then how is it? Only I had and I received a dud one. It crashed the very first time I tried to use it whilst I was trying to customise my Microsoft settings at the beginning. Was on the phone to the technical support team for over an hour but the issue had still not been resolved. They are collecting it from me today so they can process a refund for me.

Was the one that you received alright?

Thanks :smiley:

Oh the laptop I am referring to is the Dell Insipiron 15 5567 intel core i5 one.

hi there, sorry to hear, bad luck
im writing this on the one i bought right now, and it works fine, tho the screen is as stated above low quality.
(5567 i7 model)
