    For all the good features, their service is shocking, also beware that all parts used to service/repair are refurbished parts. Had a very recent incident with these guys, Had to report them to ACCC to get them to do the right thing. Buyers beware especially buying online from as you will be running pillar to post to get anything out of them especially when the you deal only with their Malaysian call center.

      Not only that if you ring with a problem, they will ask you if you have installed any other software and then blame the whole problem on that. Ask you to reset to factory settings and it goes on and on. Why would you buy from Dell if this the best they can do? 2c.

        they will ask you if you have installed any other software and then blame the whole problem on that. Ask you to reset to factory settings and it goes on and on.

        Look at it from their point of view - they're asked to make an assessment (and subsequent expense) based on hearsay. They'd be stupid if they did not request you bring machine back into factory configuration in order to make such assessment.

        What would happen if you modified a brand new car and then make warranty claim based on its performance? … or, over the phone?

        Why would you buy from Dell if this the best they can do?

        Because no other company is likely to treat consumers any better. Thankfully, Australian consumer law provides statutory consumer guarantees - use it.

        I just read the complaints. As someone who lives in a household with 5 DELL computers (and a lazer printer), my experience is different from these. I think I have a reasonable basis to compare.

        My oldest computer was an Inspiron 9300 (about 8 years old). It still runs flawlessly. There was one minor fault I fixed myself (no solder required).

        The only computer I had a problem with was my second computer. After a week, it kept freezing. I was able to make the freeze happen while I was in the BIOS.

        I called DELL and told them of my issue and they asked me to re re-install windows. After about 30 minutes of arguing, I asked the operator if they knew what a BIOS was. The answer was "of course sir". My response was short and sharp "put me onto someone who knows something about computers".

        The next day, someone was on site with RAM. I told them the RAM test passed and the fault was likely the motherboard. Lets just say, they came back the next day with a replacement motherboard.

        The last DELL I got was 3mth ago.

        Yes, their support is painful: but I've had worse from Internode and Adam as ISPs.

        Based on my experiences, I'd buy a DELL again.

        • joannatan on 18/08/2013 - 06:43

          Level 1 support normally just got basic computer knowledge, ask them to refer you to level 2 support

          Unfortunately I had a similar experience with my recent Alienware purchase… After I got a bright green dead pixel about 3/4's right and 1/4 down, I called saying that there's a 0 dead pixel warranty with this.

          They first asked me to do a system test to find faults (that's fine, might as well test the whole machine), what worried me was when the screen test come up some time later, he asked if I could see the pixel - I suggested where the pixel would be, the screen was lit up green! Reminded him that it was there before getting into BIOS, that I work in the industry and want the screen replaced.

          He asked if I could re-install Windows (on a machine I had barely played with for an hour before reporting it). After a few days of back and forwards apparently "they relaxed" their 0 dead pixel ruling after I asked the operator to type my serial number in, look up a particular line that suggests I have a premium pixel warranty, and a link to the page saying it covers this exact scenario and suggesting that for $3,000 worth of machine with this fault - I wouldn't have bought it and am happy to give fair trading a call to have an independent clarification of the warranty you are providing.

          Well, that was fantastic - the next day, 9:00AM a tech rocked up at work with a new screen and started to pull apart the machine, scuffing all the casing eventually cracking the glass screen trying to pull off the panel leaving me with this: (https://m.ak.fbcdn.net/sphotos-b.ak/hphotos-ak-prn1/46226_10…). The techie arranged for a new screen to be sent out so I was only going to be a day without.

          Well, 10:00AM the next one rocks up, starts pulling the screen off (the new screen, which also had a dead pixel) and asks me where the glass panel is. I said the other techie took it away - and the second one said to me this is ridiculous and started calling Dell support for me and said demand a replacement (not only that, but the new panel he had was damaged as well with a crack down the actual panel!).

          There went the better part of a week with Dell saying they wouldn't replace it and I should take it back to JB Hi-Fi where I bought it and they'll exchange it. I said like hell they will with the current condition so lots of arguing, he eventually puts in a "claim". Claim goes in and a week of daily calling I eventually got an "Approval" and specs would be sent out soon.

          The first set of Specs only put a GTX660 video card in instead of the one I had (GTX675), no 3D, no SSD etc… I called back asking if it was a joke (I was pretty furious by then) and three days later they finally send me a new spec out which had a video card upgrade to GTX680 but no 3D. With this compromise I accepted it. That was early November. Machine estimate was 2-3 weeks (damn!) so I called up weekly asking for a status update. When it got to three weeks, the case owner tells me it's been shipped expect it in a couple of days. Three days after that I called again and asked where it is and the case owner says "there's a shortage of components". I said "I thought it was shipped?!". He said no, I asked what was missing, he said the power supply. I said I have a perfectly good one here with the same wattage, can't you just send the machine without? He said, no - and with christmas coming up you will get it after February 2013!

          I said this is unacceptable so he asked for JB Hi-Fi's number to arrange a machine replacement. I get a call from JB Hi-Fi saying Dell got in touch with them and if I bring in the paperwork they'll arrange me a replacement machine. So… couldn't get out there until the end of the week to pick up the replacement machine but the day I get a call from JB Hi-Fi to say they sourced a machine, my new Alienware rocks up. The case owner calls me asking if I had picked up the new one from JB Hi-Fi and I said my machine from Dell rocked up!

          He said Really? Are you sure? Because on his list, it's still pending shipping. I log onto the Dell website, plug in the quote number and sure enough - the quote number says it's been delivered. I asked the case operator to do the same and sure enough the right number come up.

          I then asked what am I going to do about JB Hi-Fi because they have a replacement machine ready for me to pick up. (This was about mid-December, from an original purchase late October).

          Anyway, the new machine from Dell has two new problems from the get-go. First, the sound card can't be detected sometimes (an issue Dell are aware of with the soundcard not being seated properly) and the HDMI port has never worked. Have I asked them to fix it? Hell no - not after the last round, but as the first year of warranty is almost up - I'll send it in. Just not looking forward to getting a scuffed machine back! (I paid for extended warranty at JB Hi-Fi and they'll still honour it apparently - I just have to keep the paper work).

          It's really a shame to be honest. For years I've recommended people buy Dell because their tech support has been really good (not too many companies send out techies to rural areas to fix a motherboard on site - this has happened before and everything done quickly). But - I'd never buy an Alienware again and I'd be real hesitant on buying another Dell machine if not for a lack of quality, but a lack of techie experience.

          Sorry, the actual transcript I kept for "evidence" is nearly 6 pages in Word. Not sure how one can justify around these parts without giving a sequential dump of what occurred. If I posted Dell = Sucks for Warranty, no doubt I'd have been negged completely for not explaining why!

    • motnaf on 19/08/2013 - 12:56

      While I don't know that all other manufacturers do, I know of at least two others who use refurbished parts. Unless the failure occurs soon after purchase or it's still a relatively new model, you're more likely to get a refurb. It's supposed to go through all sorts of testing and QA stuff but with these kinds of parts there are always going to be a few situations like this…which is wrong of course but there's no way they can offer the product for the price if they were to supply a new part for every failure.
      As far as the service received goes, unfortunately occasions like that are not going to get any less for most manufacturers. Just keep at 'em when it does!

  • doperst on 17/08/2013 - 22:31

    Got this laptop (with Nvidia graphics) from the last deal:
    http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/106954
    Great laptop for the money! Capable of running many modern games (Metro 2, Diablo 3, Dead Space 3) on maximum settings without any problems.
    Also, it has an empty HDD slot, so it can be easily updgraded to SSD.
    On the bad side - battery life is poor and it's really heavy.
    And yes, heard about their awfull customer service, I just hope I never have to deal with them.

      That last deal for $899 is much better than this one. 17R special edition, Quad Core, FHD, Blu-ray. I got a refurb one for $750 includes onsite support. The second drive bay is very useful for adding a SSD.

      • doperst on 18/08/2013 - 01:47

        So this one is not special edition? I didn't compare the specs.

        • diddy50 on 18/08/2013 - 14:21

          It is a special edition, just not as good as the last special a suggested above. I got the last deal for a friend. Excellent value but the older cpu, all else was the same or better.

        • jackofspade on 18/08/2013 - 17:02

          It's NOT Special Edition. The SE currently starts from $1099.

        • diddy50 on 19/08/2013 - 09:22

          doesn't the R with 17R signify a special edition?

        Got one too. Put 120gb msata in it for the OS and a 7200 HDD for games. 1tb became a media drive so you can actually put 3 drives in if you use the msata slot.

          You shouldn't be using your laptop as a file server. There's no need to have a giga port and most wouldn't be able to tell the speed difference anyway.

          What are you on about? Most consumer equipment has gigabit ports now, so going off your logic everyone is running mini data centres in their home? What the?

          There's no need to have a giga port and most wouldn't be able to tell the speed difference anyway.

          Speak for yourself. The difference in speed is easily noticable on larger transfers.

          And no need for gigabit Ethernet, that's why most stuff is gigabit capable now?

    5400RPM drive is a joke at this price and no SSD, not even an 128GB mSATA one for $120 or so (naturally Dell would get it cheaper). I can't believe people still buy these poky slow ass laptops. I/O is still a massive bottleneck; SSD's are essential.

    I'm confused - no one has explained why this is a good deal. Some things that make it pretty ordinary:
    - not 4th gen CPU
    - not quad core (which you could expect in a 17in laptop)
    - no SSD
    - hard disk is only 5400rpm
    - only DVD drive, not Bluray
    - not Full HD, not IPS screen (I think)
    - small 6 cell battery
    - in general, such specs could fit in an ultrabook, but it is 17in

    The only thing going for it is a reasonable video card - is that why everyone is giving it so many positive votes?

      Most of the votes are not for the deal they are for the poster(think of it like a popularity contest). Sucks to be anyone that interpreted all the votes as this being a massive bargain and jumped on it without thinking.

      I thought they'd stopped producing devices in the last few years without gigabit LAN(i.e its the standard now) but this laptop sure proved me wrong.

      agree. Have seen similar specs for > $100 less. And it's a crippled U spec cpu in a 17" laptop! WTF?

    Holy sheet it's real what you say!

    This is actually a usual-average price. Dell has always these 500-600$ discount sales.
    I bought similar/almsot same laptop from them (Inspiron 7720) for 950 AUD in May.

    • with the better video card (NV650)
    • FullHD matt screen (the one in advert is shiny, unusable outdoors)
    • Intel i7-3630QM

    I am not thrilled about the brand much (especially the previous series of Inspirons were hot like ovens), but this was only 17", good video card + antiglare screen machine under 1k so was no other choice.

    I like the machine, but still 16:9 ratio for a monitor is not good (I like 16:10 more - Dell U2410) even 17" is too small in height.
    If they not change the policy, you get 1 year of carry-in warranty for this price, have to pay around 200 more for 3 years home pickup/international one.

    Grats for the OP for the superb post planning :)

    4GB instead of 8GB, but $136 cheaper. Lower res screen though. You could do your own RAM upgrade.

    I have had great experiences with Dell support. Laptop hard drive died about 3 months out of warranty but after 1 phone call and a 1 day turn around at the service centre it was replaced at no charge. Great performing machine at great price.

    Terrific effort OP. Now if you manage to get 899 votes, it would be legendary!

  • webtherapist on 18/08/2013 - 12:18

    i'm going to sell you my one month old Toshiba P50T-A01C with upgraded Samsung 840 250GB SSD for around 900$, which means this deal is not really that cheap IMO

          For what, most users don't do any/much local network stuff and most ADSL won't even get close to that.

    Don't buy from these peanuts - they never got back to me:

    1. When I asked them to do a price check after previously I bought the XPS 17 and the next day the price went down.
    2. Never got back to me when I enquired about some cheap LCDs deals that was posted here - he said "I'll get back to you after I contact my supervisor".
    3. The peanuts tech were useless last time I had a XPS 710 that needed repair - I did it myself in the end and upgraded the whole machine to 720.

    In other words, do not buy from Dell - they are not what they used to be.

  • huey on 18/08/2013 - 18:49

    Agreed, crappy deal. Awesome effort from OP.

    not a bargain!

    • not 4th gen CPU
    • not quad core (which you could expect in a 17in laptop)
    • no SSD
    • hard disk is only 5400rpm
    • only DVD drive, not Bluray
    • not Full HD, not IPS screen (I think)
    • small 6 cell battery
    • in general, such specs could fit in an ultrabook, but it is 17in

      i agree, it's not a great deal. the votes are just for the OP's 899 posts and 899 comments

    Could this Run BF3/BF4?

  • bluecato on 29/08/2013 - 15:25

    errrh, this deal is average. I don't get it. Why is everyone so excited by it?
    its Ivy Bridge, and for 17" this is standard resolution.

  • acersaurus on 29/08/2013 - 22:35

    I do think this is a good deal, but not that fantastic.

    Just over two years ago I bought a Dell XPS17 with basically the same specs but better build quality with 3gb graphics and a 3 year warranty for just over $1300. It had 30% off.

    Back in the old days if you bought a computer 2 yrs ago, you would more or less have a machine that isn't worth much at all in the present. I guess computer hardware is improving more slowly now.
