  • wow, could be epic!

  • Exactly what I was after when I commented here about the 9360:
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/387613

    Time to commit!
    Still wished they charged $1 more so can use the $100 off code :(

    Curious tho, there's no spec difference between the old and new model?
    Seems like just the casing and what ports you get with it.
    Old one even gets a bigger battery!

    • My comment's a bit late but you could get the 9360 with an i7 instead, and apply the $100 off coupon. Which would let you upgrade from an i5 to an i7 for an extra ~$100.

  • is this the one with touch screen?

    • +1

      No, it's not touch screen.

  • +1

    Great deal OP.

    Just a word of caution though, may want to wait for the Shopback rep to confirm if this coupon is eligible just like he did in the other deal.

    • +5

      Hey guys, confirming that the code is stackable with cashback

      • +1

        Thanks, username checks out.

      • +1

        So this & the AUMPP100JUNE code should work for all purchases with 12%?

  • +9

    As a side note: this laptop only comes with a single USB-C port which requires an adapter ($130+ for non-Dell brand) to connect to two monitors.

    There are no miniDP, HDMI, DVI, VGA ports on this laptop.

    • -4

      Why would anyone connect to 2 monitors with this? It comes with a docking hotspot right? Could be better than the $130 USB C dongle.

      • +3

        Some people (me for example) prefer 2 x 27" monitor while working from home or office.

        What docking hotspot? Do you mean a docking station you put the laptop on and it allows additional connectors?

        • -2

          Yeah. Seems they don't use those any more??? They looked really great.

          Hmmm. Can't you just use the laptop as one screen and the extended screen? Don't tell me you need 3 screens on this laptop… O_O

        • +1

          @StoneSin: Some people like to use two large screens of the same size as a desktop replacement.

        • -2

          @Gravy: Weird.

        • @StoneSin: not at all.
          screen.

          Due to variation in the picture, stands, frame width and height of the screens most people prefer dual screen setups with the exact same model of monitor, let alone a second screen of half the size.

          Operating with a 13.3" and a 27" is very weird.

        • -2

          @DonWilson: Not at all.

          It's weird that you have a setup including 2 monitors and haven't thought to actually use a desktop instead of a laptop.

        • Dell WD15 dock works well with these.

        • +1

          @StoneSin: you honestly can't think of a single reason someone would want just a notebook that they can used with peripherals instead of two computers? You don't have to solder the notebook into the notebook dock.

        • @closey:
          It probably does, but the cheapest I could find on staticice was $220 which adds to the cost of the laptop quite a bit.

        • @StoneSin:
          Actually I do (as a database & software developer) - 2x27" + laptop screen at work (use Macbook Pro though which comes with 2xmDP + HDMI)

        • -1

          @DonWilson: Yes I can't think of anyone who would spend 2-3k on a notebook a peripherals and not just get a desktop and notebook.

        • -1

          @Raq: Yeah but you clearly haven't learnt the best tools for the trade. Macbook Pro for a developer is probably the worst thing you could possibly have. But I guess you kinda saw others doing it and thought it was okay. It's not good, not at all.

        • @StoneSin:

          To each their own - most of my (database-related) job is done on EC2 machines (connecting via RDP) or on data warehouses (connected via DBeaver, SQL Workbench, or even browser when dealing with Snowflake). I don't need the fastest or best computer to do it.

          As for stability and speed I find MBP more stable (and faster) than Dell XPS I used before (granted it was an older version than the 9360) but both machines are about the same age (mid 2015 or so).

          At home I do have a desktop running Windows (i7 6700k, 32GB RAM), but I don't see myself using it while traveling or on the train to work.

          As for software development (Android/Unity) I find MBP to be perfectly capable.

          Yes. That's my point. Get a notebook and a desktop. It'll cost less than a macbook and perform much better.

          As for stability and speed I find MBP more stable (and faster) than Dell XPS I used before (granted it was an older version than the 9360) but both machines are about the same age (mid 2015 or so).

          They're both terrible development machines.

          At home I do have a desktop running Windows (i7 6700k, 32GB RAM), but I don't see myself using it while traveling or on the train to work.

          You're not supposed to work as a developer on the train or travelling. There's no point. You said you remote in to the machines on your laptop. Just do that. Get a stable connection and remote in to your desktop if you need it's power.

          As for software development (Android/Unity) I find MBP to be perfectly capable.

          Then you haven't realised or don't need your full potential. Either that or your work is not very demanding.

        • @StoneSin:

          It'll cost less than a macbook and perform much better.

          I got my (early-2015) MBP for ~$600AUD (+$300AUD new screen from eBay) in 2016 :-) Yes, it was slightly used. Yes, it had cracked screen (replaced it myself). I could sell it for profit but decided to give it try after spending 30+ years using Microsoft products. All other machines at home (3 desktops, 4 laptops, 1 NUC) run Windows.

          They're both terrible development machines.

          Depends on what you do as a developer.

          As database developer I don't run a data warehouse on my laptop/desktop - both machines (and internet connection) would be too slow to load/unload/process billions of rows of data (e.g. Google Analytics).

          You're not supposed to work as a developer on the train or traveling.

          Are you seriously expecting people to take their desktops when going off-site and working on (inaccessible from outside) databases? Not everyone exposes their sources online, especially when they contain PII.

          Then you haven't realised or don't need your full potential.

          As I've said before - to each their own. I treat Android/Unity development more of a hobby than work and quite often do it while on the couch.

        • -3

          @Raq: You can justify your purchase all you want. It was probably a fantastic purchase, but mate a Macbook pro ain't good for developers.

          No why would you take your desktop with you? Just take a laptop that does the basics ($500) and use the desktop at home ($800/+).

          Developers shouldn't be running around on a laptop. That's not part of the job. You should be at your desk writing some powerful work.

        • @StoneSin:

          looks around workplace

          An ocean of laptops - not a single desktop in sight. And that was the situation when I worked for Microsoft too.

          It appears that mobility and flexibility are more important (e.g. working from home when needed).

        • -2

          @Raq: Yes. But you are a software/database developer who uses a macbook pro and 2 screens. You clearly don't work in a great environment.

          The fact that you now say that everyone else is doing it too proves my point even further.

        • +1

          @StoneSin:

          Let's agree to disagree :-D

          In the past 10 years or so I've seen a steady shift in workplaces (and I worked for many companies): from everyone having a desktop to slow replacement of them with laptops which are perfectly fine for development, testing & deployment in the cloud (Jenkins, Bamboo, Bitbucket Pipelines, etc).

          It all depends on the company one works for, but even Google itself seems to be in favor of Macbook as a laptop (if one trusts Quora):

          What laptop is used the most at Google

        • -1

          @Raq: There is no disagree. You're just not doing intensive work, and that's okay.

          It's a fad to use a laptop, hence why you mentioned you had a macbook and why I mentioned you probably did so because you thought it was good based on others having macbooks.

          It's objectively a bad decision.

        • +1

          @StoneSin: StoneSin, are you a developer? I am and at the last two companies I've worked for, they have used laptops predominantly. It has the flexibility of being portable and they can most certainly be used on the train if it's a long journey. And instead of having multiple working copies of a project, everything is centralised on the one work machine.

          Most software dev work is unintensive. You're just banging out lines of code.

          If Raq prefers using Mac then that's his perogative but there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Most software is moving towards multiplatform now anyway and Microsoft are actively working on bringing their suite of products to OSX.

          If you're not gaming, a laptop can do everything a desktop with the added benefit of portability.

        • @keyman: Yes. Like I said, the majority of people are inefficient workers who somehow try to justify macbook pros. I said that before you guys mentioned "my entire company does it". Because I know it's a common issue.

          It has the flexibility of being portable and they can most certainly be used on the train if it's a long journey. And instead of having multiple working copies of a project, everything is centralised on the one work machine.

          You're a developer but you don't know what git or a central repo is? It's very easy to have work across two machines in modern PCs.

          Most software dev work is unintensive.

          Not really. These days you want VMs, editors, clients, etc.

          f Raq prefers using Mac then that's his perogative but there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

          There's nothing wrong with being inefficient, or we wouldn't be having this conversation. Glad you agree with me.

          Most software is moving towards multiplatform now anyway and Microsoft are actively working on bringing their suite of products to OSX.

          Yes. Which is irrelevant.

          If you're not gaming, a laptop can do everything a desktop with the added benefit of portability.

          Yes. With double or triple the price tag.

          I still don't see how you guys aren't grasping this simple concept.

        • @StoneSin:

          There's nothing wrong with being inefficient, or we wouldn't be having this conversation. Glad you agree with me.

          Just to clarify - are you claiming I'm inefficient because I use laptop instead of desktop or because I use MacOS instead of Windows? (or some other reason)

        • -1

          @Raq: Because you use a Macbook over a desktop (and a standard work laptop).

        • @StoneSin:

          You're a developer but you don't know what git or a central repo is? It's very easy to have work across two machines in modern PCs.

          You can use git but if you're constantly switching between 2 machines, you'll end up with constant commits of incomplete work. Incomplete broken code is not an issue because you can just create your own private branch but it's still a hassle when you can have just the one device with the work environment how you last left it.

        • @StoneSin:

          And by desktop you mean - a Windows base one?

          Because, you know .. (in quiet, hushed voice) there are Mac desktops too ..

        • @keyman: It's not really a hassle. A hassle is having an underpowered, expensive machine tailored against your needs.

        • @Raq: No. OS is rarely an issue as every OS now has unimpeded access to a Unix system.

        • @StoneSin:

          If all you need is a thin client to connect to Unix then theoretically you could work using your (Android) phone attached via dock to a monitor with an external keyboard/mouse and terminal app running on it? (just curious)

          What type of machine(s) (and OSes) you use in work environment for development (sorry, don't know what you do :-)

        • @Raq:

          Theoretically (and I mean REALLY theoretically) I could do my work on my phone as most of the stuff is done remotely.

          Hook it up to a monitor via USB-C, then use Bluetooth keyboard/mouse for communication.

          Hmm, perhaps I should try it when I get home :-D

        • @Raq: Yes, but you don't unless you're useless at your job.

          I run Linux on my work machine.

        • -1

          @Raq: Then you're not a developer and I'm not sure why you called yourself as such.

        • +1

          @StoneSin:

          I'm a Database Developer - most of my code is done in SQL, Python and sometimes in C# - all of which can be done on EC2 machine via RDP or even by running SQL scripts via CLI client (be that DOS shell, Linux or Mac).

          Last time I checked that qualifies me as a Developer, but I guess in your eyes O-Mighty Linux Developer I'm not one :-D

          Time to change my resume ..

        • @Raq: Cool. So you're not a software developer like you said. I'm an astronaut and software developer, but don't ask me about astronomic theories because I don't do astronaut stuff!

          all of which can be done on EC2 machine

          Yes. And yet you are arguing about having 2 screens and a macbook pro. So you're arguing for something you don't need saying you need it.

          You sound like an IT intern.

        • @StoneSin:

          I have never said I do software development as part of my daily work, have I?

          I said (and I quote myself here):

          Actually I do (as a database & software developer) - 2x27" + laptop screen at work (use Macbook Pro though which comes with 2xmDP + HDMI)

          and then

          As for software development (Android/Unity) I find MBP to be perfectly capable.

          and lastly

          As I've said before - to each their own. I treat Android/Unity development more of a hobby than work and quite often do it while on the couch.

          So, is it possible Mr Astronaut (who knew working with Linux creates vacuum between ears) that I do use my MBP at daily work (connecting to EC2 and doing SQL - related stuff) and then use THE SAME machine at home to do coding (Android/Unity as a hobby)?

          Both places have 2x 27" monitors which I use all the time.

          At home, one monitor for Android Studio, the other one for browser and Android Emulator or one for Visual Studio the other one for Unity editor.

          At work, one monitor for RDP, the other one for browser, Slack, etc.

          Unless of course (in your eyes) I can't say I'm a software developer as I don't do it at work :-)

          It's like saying one can't be a pilot unless you fly Jumbo Jets .. oh well, kids these days think everyone is 16 like them.

        • @Raq: Yes your original comment is database & software developer.

          I'm sorry but if you quote yourself but don't read your quotes and don't understand what you say, then you are clearly in no position to be worth my time.

          Not only are you bad at discussion here, you seem to be bad at your job too…. that is when you accurately define your job.

        • @StoneSin:

          Did my part of being code monkey in the past as part of my daily grind.

          Doesn't change the fact that I'm still a developer and you're just nitpicking.

          Have a good weekend - for someone who is doing such a "serious" and "real" job you're awfully active here.

          Don't let your boss catch you :)

        • @Raq: I'm an astronaut, you're just nitpicking.

        • @StoneSin:
          Bon voyage on your trip from Uranus .. sorry, couldn't help :-D

          (My kids asked to watch Captain Underpants way too many times)

        • I don't see how you need a desktop for development. Granted you might need more than 16GB of RAM if you have tons of VMs open but you can get laptops with 32GB of RAM nowadays.

          I don't see how you can't work on the train either since most resources and tools would be either distributed or available on the cloud. The exception would be if you're working on highly classified or really old stuff I guess.

        • @Mucchan:

          I've used both desktop and laptops for software development before.

          The main we've found is:
          . Quad core is pretty much mandatory if you're running or compiling anything locally. Hell even for installing Windows Updates it comes in handy. Six cores in the new XPS 15 would be killer.
          . 16GB RAM if you want to do anything with VMs, Docker, running your own DBMS with a large data set.
          . 512GB SSD is ideal if you are working with a large data set, or swapping between different projects.

          So the laptop in this deal falls down on the last two points but you might not need it depending on the type of work you're doing. Note that you can upgrade the storage, but not the RAM.

    • +1

      It also only has 2 lanes of pci express on the thunderbolt connection which will cripple even low end external GPUs.

      There's been recent deals posted on this site for pretty decent USB-C to HDMI +more for less than $30 - don't any of them allow 2x monitors out for a reasonable price?

      • I don't know which one to choose, XPS 13 (9360) or XPS 13 (9370), will the 2 lanes make a big difference in performance with the eGPU? I really need to know because I'm going to use this laptop for the rest of high school.

    • Seriously no hdmi at all?

      • No HDMI - sorry.

        You're forced to use USB-C adapter to connect external monitor.

        • errr nm im an idiot

        • @Frukoz: no technology is an idiot without HDMI

  • +1

    FHD screen annoyed me with this model. The scaling is plain wrong. Can't beat the price though.

    • +2

      For me it is a plus. Windows 10 still looks bad on small size 4k screens, in my humble opinion.

      The FHD model has a few hours extra battery life.

      An extra plus that the screen is has a non-glare matte finish.

      • -1

        Yeah fair enough. I have bad eyes so opt for the 900p resolution. 1600x900 screen would make sense to me but probably doesn't look great.

      • Why would anyone get 4k on a 13.3 screen LOL

        • Why not? I want to know why.

        • @JayJayAU: Power drainage

        • @JayJayAU: Because you won't notice the difference and it's overpowered for the other spec.s

  • How does the process work for getting the small business cashback? I can't see anywhere on ShopBack site nor Dell's site to enter an ABN when registering an account? I'm looking at buying it for my business.

    • No idea, maybe you can use the online chat to customer service in order to create a business account.

    • I rang about purchasing for a small business and was told that it can't be done online. They were useless.

    • You enter the ABN at the final step of purchase.

  • Does this work with 9370? I really want that for 4 lanes of PCI express, because apparently it is better than the 2 lanes for eGPU's correct me if I'm wrong

    • There is a deal on 9370, check it out.๐Ÿ˜Š

      • I'm still new to all this cashback stuff so how does it work? Your coupon works great and has been added on but how does the cash back work? Hope to hear back from you!

        • First, you need to sign up with ShopBack, the sign-up link is on the top right corner.

          Then, click through here to Dell website.

          By the way, you can use AUMPP100JUNE $100 off coupon instead of AUMPP80JUNE $80 off coupon for 9370 model.

        • @O O: Yes. I figured that's what you do, but when I click there it leads me to a Dell latitude? I am not sure what do do after

        • @JayJayAU: OK, once you're on Dell website, you can click on the following link

          New XPS 13 Laptop

          then, you can pick your XPS (9370). ๐Ÿ˜Š

        • @O O: So after I've clicked on the https://www.shopback.com.au/dell-australia it leads me to the Latitude laptop, but I come BACK here and click your website? I don't think it works for me

        • @JayJayAU: Do you mean you're not on the New XPS 13 Laptop web page?

        • @O O: Correct, when I go to the Shop back website I get to the either the 5%, 8% and 12% so I choose the 12% one and I press the "get deal" it then directs me to this https://www.dell.com/en-au/work/shop/business-laptops-ultrabโ€ฆ weird. Thats why I needed your help

        • @JayJayAU: I see what you mean now. OK, start from the web page you given.

          1. Click on Dell logo on the top left corner.
          2. Click on the banner Up to 50% off selected laptops.
          3. Click on the second tab EOFY Sale: XPS & Gaming PCs.
          4. Scroll down near the bottom, there are some XPS 13 (9370) listed there.
        • @O O: Steps all worked until number 3, my second tab for the EOFY is a
          "EOFY Sale: Vostro, Latitude & Workstations"

        • +1

          @JayJayAU: OK. You need to go back to step 2, by clicking back bottom on the browser. You'll see the banner scrolling, make sure the banner is scroll to the Up to 50% off selected laptops. Then, follows from step 3 above. ๐Ÿ˜Š

          It's because you clicked on Up to 50% off selected business systems last time. ๐Ÿ˜Š

        • @O O: yes, this time it worked I got ahead of myself, now so I can use the AUMPP100JUNE and do I equip the AUAFFILIATESALIENXPS?

        • @JayJayAU: I don't think you can use AUAFFILIATESALIENXPS on discounted products. ๐Ÿ˜Š

        • @O O: ah okay, so how do I get the cash back thing? and does this only work with xps or other laptops as well, thanks for helping me btw I'm not good at this stuff haha

        • @JayJayAU:

          so how do I get the cash back thing?

          You should get a confirmation email from ShopBack telling you transaction is go through and the amount of cashback you earn in approx 2 days. If there're any problem, you can contact gotyourback through messaging.

          does this only work with xps or other laptops as well

          Yes, it does work on other products as well

          AUMPP100JUNE $100 off coupon for products $1,900 or above
          AUMPP80JUNE $80 off coupon for products $1,400 or above

          and you're welcome.

        • @O O: Wait so do I put the"AUAFFILIATES12%OFF" in because when I do it says "This is a valid coupon code, but there are no matching items currently in your cart."

          Also what totally IS ShopBack? I've heard a lot of people talk about but I've never actually went in and looked into it

        • @JayJayAU:

          This is a valid coupon code, but there are no matching items currently in your cart

          I presume you're buying XPS 13 (9370), you should use AUMPP100JUNE $100 off coupon code instead, not the AUAFFILIATES12%OFF.

          Also what totally IS ShopBack? I've heard a lot of people talk about but I've never actually went in and looked into it

          This is long topic and interested to most new OzBargainers, the starting point is in the What is cashback in OzB Wiki. It'll take too long to discuss here. ๐Ÿ˜‰

        • @O O: Right, so what does the AUAFFILIATES12%OFF do then?

        • @JayJayAU: AUAFFILIATES12%OFF is for 12% off full price product.

        • @O O: Hey O O, in order to get 12% cashback, i need to visit dell website via shopback, and add the product in the cart and check out normally, and then, shopback will email me with points? and i can cash out later, is that correct?

        • @GreyMann: Yes, you've already answered your own question. ๐Ÿ˜„

        • @O O: Why don't I use the AUAFFILIATES12%OFF?

        • @JayJayAU: Because that is 12% off the full RRP product price. You want Dell to apply their own EOFY discount and then apply the $100 off coupon to the Dell discounted price. This works out to be cheaper than only applying 12% off the full, normal RPP of the product.

        • @Raidan: Hey bro can you help me I think I might get the XPS 15 instead of the XPS 15 but I have no idea about the AUAFFILIATES12%OFF thing

        • @JayJayAU: Looks like you're out of luck trying to use a coupon on the new XPS 15. AUAFFILIATES12%OFF doesn't work on it and AUMPP100JUNE has expired, so right now you're looking at buying it without those discounts applying anyway.

          @Raidan:
          Was fiddling around with the coupon codes
          AUMPP100JULY will get $100 off but now for products > $2,200
          AUMPP80JULY $80 off coupon for products > $1,540
          Not as good as June ones but still good with the last 48 hours of DELL sale

        • @wiscott: My mum just got something and i'm super mad because now I can only spend under 1,3k but I'm probs gonna get an eGPU, do you still recommend the XPS 13? and also does this whole cashback 12% percent not work anymore? ripppp

        • @Raidan: Is the XPS 13 still worth getting, and how much est will it be with the shopback? my budget just dropped super low and I need a laptop for school but I'm getting an eGPU soon, is this still worth?

        • @JayJayAU: The XPS 9360 should last you quite a while, reviews from other users of older XPS models have largely been very positive about itโ€™s performance and longevity.

  • Just bought it last week paying $1424 (-8% cashback from shopback) :(
