    Took eBay Dell long to reduce the price this time.

    Excellent little laptop for watching videos, surfing web and light office work.

  • hopper on 15/03/2017 - 16:01

    If i upgrade RAM to 8gb, Will i lose warranty?

      Generally no, just put back the 4gb stick back in before you call them lol.

          Sure is, I did.

          But still slow with many tabs open.

        • Wakasonu on 15/03/2017 - 17:11

          Yea for sure , i did that and all good

  • JetLi on 15/03/2017 - 16:09

    Do others find Internet Edge annoyingly slow on this device?

    • hopper on 15/03/2017 - 16:13

      Yes, damn slow. Thinking of adding extra ram

        I upgraded to 8GB, didnt notice any difference TBH.

      • bringbring on 15/03/2017 - 21:02

        The ram is sufficient for keeping a few programs open (only just these days)

        Its the processor that's slowing it down

    • andycandy on 15/03/2017 - 16:15

      How about Chrome?

      • JetLi on 15/03/2017 - 16:26

        Yet to try a different browser, aside from this, nice little laptop.

      • JH100 on 15/03/2017 - 16:47
        +4

        Firefox was very slow, no matter what I did with it. Using Chrome now and it's fine.

        More RAM would help but I can't be bothered, it's fast enough for me.

          Just tried this, and it makes the laptop much more usable. Cheers.

        • JetLi on 15/03/2017 - 17:17

          @JetLi: Using chrome, I still have 4GB ram.

        • JetLi on 15/03/2017 - 17:37

          @brok9n: cool, will give Chrome a go as well.

        • Abaddon on 16/03/2017 - 13:04

          @JetLi: Be careful about your add-ons while you are at it. Add blockers in particular (I'm looking at you Add Block Plus) can chew up a lot of memory. Also if you are like me and like to leave heaps of tabs open I can highly recommed "The Great Suspender", unloads web pages you haven't looked at for a configurable amount of time.

    • illumination on 15/03/2017 - 16:15

      Solution: Don't use Chrome :P

    • Autonomic on 15/03/2017 - 22:30

      I haven't noticed any slowdowns with Edge, but then I haven't done any intense browsing. Any particular examples I should try out?

      • JetLi on 16/03/2017 - 00:42

        nothing special, just the regular webpages such as ozbargain, AFL, news websites and youtube. It just takes a few secs longer than I'm used to, which makes it a tad annoying.

  • lovbargain on 15/03/2017 - 16:14

    This netbook should support 5gb wifi, which is useful in NSW public schools.

    • StevieRay on 15/03/2017 - 16:20

      5gb… that's really fast

      • Make it so on 15/03/2017 - 17:07

        Because NSW public schools are into Big Data.

        sorry I mean 5g hz

        • slosh on 15/03/2017 - 17:59

          What's the benefit of having 5ghz wifi on a public school network? Sure 5ghz can handle more bandwidth but 2.4ghz has superior range. The extra bandwidth capabilities in 5ghz would most likely be restricted by the internet speed on such a large network anyway.

        • scrimshaw on 15/03/2017 - 18:37
          +2

          @slosh:

          5ghz wifi has less congestion and crosstalk

          +1

          @slosh:
          There are access points in every classroom in NSW public schools so range is not an issue.
          Schools also run Intranets so the extra bandwidth is handy.

  • prxy on 15/03/2017 - 16:23

    Wish I could find a similarly specced laptop with a gigabit ethernet port but again a great deal nonetheless.

    • yogo on 15/03/2017 - 18:17

      Yea. No idea why usb to Ethernet converters are $40-50.

      • fryandlaurie on 15/03/2017 - 19:59
        +2

        You can get USB3 gigabit ethernet adapters from aliexpress for about $15-20. Non branded are even less but this one should do the job nicely.

    • decr on 15/03/2017 - 19:32
      +2

      Oh yes. If you find one let me know, also the screen resolution is a killer. Wired Ethernet all the way.

          I doubt it. If it was a compliment about the screen it would be "The screen resolution is killer"

          Háha I new it!

      • skillet on 16/03/2017 - 09:16

        1366x768 should be banned on today's internet enabled devices. My phone is a 5" with 1920x1080. The screen resolution makes it hard to work with.

  • superforever on 15/03/2017 - 16:28

    So $319 is the cheapest so far from previous deal.

    • hamza23 on 15/03/2017 - 16:30

      Yeah. From previous deals, there have been quite a few recent $319.20 eBay deals and one $319 deal which is the cheapest. Other deals were more expensive or for the lesser model.

  • Unrvl on 15/03/2017 - 16:37

    I work in IT in a school and these inspirons are a popular BYOD pick. I have seen the celeron versions, this one, and the core m3.

    Celeron (with 32gb flash drive) - dont bother, slow useless POS
    Pentium 4gb with 128gb SSD - not a bad school device, it goes alright, the SSD really helps it.
    Core m3 (the 7th gen kaby lake version) absolutely flys. great laptop but i assume its probably double the price.

    ohh and i MUST stress this. DO NOT press the power button in very hard. there is no anti force things behind the power button, seriously a small knock and you will push it in / break off the plastic behind the button which will need a send in warranty.

    be very gentle, we have had to send 5 away in less than 2 months due to this.

    • StevieRay on 15/03/2017 - 16:48
      +2

      Popular BYOD pick?
      Are you saying that the kids' parents in the school you work at are mostly Ozbargainers?

    • StevieRay on 15/03/2017 - 16:55
      +1

      Out of curiosity. Your perspective was on speed. I'm hoping those benchmarks are real world school use. What do kids do these days on their laptops with regards to school curriculum that warrants anything beyond a celeron (disregarding boot times). Do they now cover video editing and photoshop-esque skills?

      • [Deactivated] on 15/03/2017 - 17:07
        +1

        We have a managed laptop program (i3 or i5, 4gb or 8gb, 128gb SSD).

        In secondary, all students have Adobe CC where they are expected to use Premiere, Photoshop and After Effects mostly. Nothing else is too strenuous.

      • scrimshaw on 15/03/2017 - 18:40

        Yeah secondary school students get the entire adobe suite in my previous workplace

        They really spared no expense when it comes to software.

        • Unrvl on 15/03/2017 - 21:21

          well back in the CS6 and below days we used to get a master licence which covered everything. now with this adobe CC crap not only have they made it difficult to deploy, but the licencing is now stupid too.

      • Unrvl on 15/03/2017 - 21:22
        +1

        My perspective was based on installing a few apps or general debugging of their machines. If any adobe software was going on there i would only recommend the m3 for those. the pentium may get away with some light photoshop.

    • lovbargain on 15/03/2017 - 17:19

      thanks for sharing

    • freddofrog42 on 15/03/2017 - 18:29

      Is there any way to make these come out of sleep mode automatically when you open the lid? I've not played with mine much but seemingly the only way is to (gently) press that switch.

      I've got a few laptops and they all seem to vary in this aspect.

      Great machine overall though.

    • StevieRay on 16/03/2017 - 17:33

      Thanks for that.
      Mine are still primary, so all it needs to run now is Reading Eggs and Mathletics (as far as I am currently aware)
      Always assumed I needed a gruntier machine for secondary. More from a whining perspective of the child than the apps they may need to run.

    • horsome on 16/03/2017 - 17:39

      M3 $600 on Dell website and 2-in-1, is this a good deal?

    • charliebrownau on 16/03/2017 - 20:41

      Have you given one of these a go with Linux (Mint/Ubuntu)

      Ive got an Toshiba Chromebook 2 with same processor , only 16gig SSD and 2gig of RAM
      it lasts just a tad over 11 hours and it runs like a little beast using Linux with XFCE

      Sure you cant load up 20+ tabs in chrome/firefox , but for AUD$300 this thing (Toshiba Chromebook 2 CB35)
      is great, heck it IS faster then the POS imac's i5 quad core AIO Screen computers at SAE Brisbane campus

      • fryandlaurie on 16/03/2017 - 23:05

        Where did you buy yours from? I can see it on Amazon but it's closer to $350 including shipping.

    Worst CPU performance, always goes to 100%. Had bought 2 last year same price same websites, Had to return back to Dell. Try yourself, I rather spend $100 more to get at least decent CPU.

    • iimech on 15/03/2017 - 17:06

      I am considering this Dell laptop. What software you were using to send the CPU 100% usage?

      • FeRGan on 15/03/2017 - 17:11

        I am also wondering if this claim is a somewhat isolated occurrence.

      • chirag_patel4in on 15/03/2017 - 21:05

        I did prove to Dell Online support by remote login that even turning Internet Explorer will make CPU as high as 95 to 100%, they did not found any solution for it and accepted that this machine can't do much more then. So without running any other non certified application even can make almost no use. Anyway thats my experience, you can try by all means. The deal is good and cheap so easy to get attracted.

    • donnot on 15/03/2017 - 18:30
      +1

      What software were you running? You're getting good performance at this price (much better than any of the Atoms/the N3050/3060 based laptops around this price, but nothing spectacular).

      I have an i3 SP3 which has similar performance to the Pentium in this, and the CPU does often hit 100%, but that doesn't make it unusable…

      Don't think you'd find anything more powerful at ~$400.

    • scrimshaw on 15/03/2017 - 18:45

  • Autonomic on 15/03/2017 - 17:10
    +2

    I bought one in the last sale and it would be perfect if not for the display. While usable, it's not high quality and the viewing angles are terrible.

    Performance wise it's fine for browsing and watching videos. Stick a cheap microSD card in there for extra storage.

    • FeRGan on 15/03/2017 - 17:18
      +2

      Is it the lack of sharpness or colours?

      • Autonomic on 15/03/2017 - 19:37
        +1

        It looks washed out, mostly due to the contrast. Sharpness is fine.

        • MrGareth on 16/03/2017 - 20:00

          To help the washed out look, use the Intel graphics drivers to reduce the blue gamma - on ours the washed out look was a slight blue tinge, so by dialing back the blue a fraction the laptop screen looked a more crisp white. It still has horrid viewing angles, but at least it was better to use.

          (or just tweak the colours to get whatever is easier on your eyes)

No one else in the world would use an atom with 2 gigs and 32 gigs after Win 10 you get only 5 gigs if lucky, let alone at 300 dollars.
