    Nice deal. Would be nice to have more storage, but an external HDD could fix that!

      There is an empty 2.5" HDD bay in there, no external needed.

    Am I right in thinking this is best bang-for-buck gaming laptop?
    Understanding the new Ryzen chips graphics are quite good, but not as good as this dedicated option?

    • Lief on 10/10/2018 - 15:59

      Yes. The best Ryzen mobile iGPUs are around the performance level of an mx150 (laptop gt 1030).
      A laptop 1050ti is ~2-2.5x faster than that depending on the game/thermal throttling.

  • Phoebus on 10/10/2018 - 15:36

    Yes. A good bang for buck "budget" gaming laptop.
    Of course Ryzen should be better for battery life but not as much beef as dedicated graphics.
    Specs look pretty decent all round. Even FHD IPS screen.

    • hughc on 11/10/2018 - 08:57

      Not sure why you think a Ryzen equivalent would be better for battery life. Better for gaming on battery, maybe, but I'm not sure who does this. With the dedicated GPU switched off, for general office tasks and web surfing, I would expect Intel offerings would easily outlast Ryzen machines of a similar spec.

      Case in point, the runtime of Lenovo E480 (Intel) vs E485 (Ryzen). That's a U class Intel processor, but I'd expect the trend to hold.

    I got one of these for my partner. You can add an additional 2.5" drive as the primary is m.2 drive. You can access the internals to upgrade ram, m.2 and 2.5" drive with a single screw.

    Excellent value for money!

  • kickmiass on 10/10/2018 - 15:54

    Comparison

    Is it worth getting the G5 in terms of value?

    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Dell-G5-15-5587-Gaming-Laptop-i5…

    I do plan on getting a bigger SSD additionally.

    • DASHCAM NOW DUDE on 10/10/2018 - 16:14
      +1

      I think so. Especially if you plan on keeping it for a while. Current Gen CPU and 1060 is significantly better than the 1050ti.

      Plus you get the extra 1TB drive. Although you lose 128gb in SSD.

    • Phoebus on 10/10/2018 - 16:22

      depends what you think is better value?
      This is in a completely different price range.
      70% more.

      • DASHCAM NOW DUDE on 10/10/2018 - 16:38

        35% more

      • Lief on 10/10/2018 - 16:38
        +1

        20% off works on that too, it's about 35% more.
        It's certainly worth considering, the CPU and GPU are much better.
        It does have a smaller battery though.

    • Caped Baldy on 10/10/2018 - 16:48

      128gb is lacking. $100 for a 500gb is worthwhile.

    • RickyBaker on 10/10/2018 - 21:59

      https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Dell-Inspiron-15-G3-3579-FHD-Gam… this is quite good value as well. An even better CPU

      or this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Dell-Inspiron-15-G3-3579-FHD-Gam… I've messaged them to see if the 8GB RAM stick is upgradable

      • FireRunner on 10/10/2018 - 23:32

        The second one uses a GTX1050 (not TI) + no ssd, the OP deal is much better.

        • RickyBaker on 11/10/2018 - 00:22

          I wouldn't say much better. The CPU is significantly better for the same price. I'm not looking for a gaming laptop, but for editing so the GPU is not as important. The Optane Memory turns the HDD into SSD like performance. Just another option for people wanting a better CPU for the same price

    • blonky on 11/10/2018 - 10:29
      +1

      G5
      + 8th gen i5 (15% faster)
      + 1060 maxQ (30% faster)
      - ram is 2x 4GB (costly to upgrade as you'll need 2x 8gb)
      - smaller 128gb SSD
      + secondary 1tb hdd
      - 56whr battery

      Inspiron 15 7000
      - 7th gen i5
      + 1x 8gb stick
      + larger 256gb sdd
      - no hdd (does have a 2.5" sata slot)
      + 74whr battery

      In terms of range/build quality, I believe the inspiron 15 7000 = G7 range

      I'd say the value is pretty close between the two but I give brownie points for being under $1k

  • AskingForAFriend on 10/10/2018 - 16:40

    How does this stack up to a Xiaomi air?

    • Lief on 10/10/2018 - 16:51

      In gaming and other high performance workloads the Xiaomi Air throttles so it's a bit slower than an average mx150 notebook which is less than half the speed of a 1050ti, so not even close.
      They're not really aiming for the same market anyway. The Xiaomi is a small light thing you'd want to take around on a daily basis and use for multimedia and schoolwork or something, the Dell is a gaming laptop, it's bigger and heavier and doesn't care much about looking nice, batterylife is decent though which is rare for gaming laptops so you wont have to take the AC adapter with you everywhere, but you will if you want to play games.
      What's important is what you want.

      • AskingForAFriend on 10/10/2018 - 17:02

        Thanks so much :) laptop novice here. Appreciate the advice :)

  • apu on 10/10/2018 - 17:00

    OK guys. My machine arrived from Dell this week from the last sale. It took about 2 weeks end to end. They use Star Track FYI.

    What recommendation for games for this beast? I like virtual shoot em up (not too much fantasy or aliens) and driving/flying games. I haven't gamed in 10 or so years.

    • aim54x on 10/10/2018 - 17:31

      You could try War Thunder, it's free to play, fly planes, drive tanks, shoot stuff. The grind can be painful but it runs on pretty low spec computers.

    • RickyBaker on 10/10/2018 - 17:51

      • empoleous on 11/10/2018 - 10:35

        See you say this as a joke, but running osbuddy on this, I get like 30fps without opengl and around 45 to 50 with opengl on. Often it makes my laptop start sounding like a jet taking off. I'm also pretty sure I had to change osbuddy to use the 1050ti over the intel as it wasn't performing right. Great laptop though, especially for the price :). After a fresh windows install that helped a ton though.

  • madturbo123 on 10/10/2018 - 17:30

    Really considering this laptop as i really need to replace the worst laptop I've ever owned. The HP Pavilion Dv6-6024TX, was a terrible laptop from the get go. I ended up replacing the fan and thermal paste to get extra life out of it, but has been a terrible machine due to the heating issue.

    Has anyone owned this laptop with similar specs and can shed some light on this machine? I'll probably won't be gaming with it, but will do light work with it using naviswork and ms office suite. I want a machine that'll comfortable last me the next 5 yrs, as i struggled with my last dv6.

    I've experienced dells for work and was very pleased with it, no overheating issues and love the backlit keyboard, so i'm leaning towards this.

    • FabMan on 10/10/2018 - 21:14

      1050ti is overkill for non-gaming or 3D rendering purposes. Probably cheaper options with no dedicated GPU.

      • FireRunner on 10/10/2018 - 23:35
        +2

        Agreed, if you aren't using the gpu, you should get a laptop without a one. They're generally lighter, cheaper and longer battery.

    • ccsvchost on 11/10/2018 - 19:37

      I've owned this laptop for nearly a year now. It's really great for work purposes as long as you don't mind lugging around a 2.5kg laptop around, but other than that, this probably has the best battery life at this price point (I get 10-14 hours when doing work) and you can multitask really well on it.

  • RickyBaker on 10/10/2018 - 17:33

    Looking at getting a video editing laptop, and this looks like a great option!!

    • FireRunner on 10/10/2018 - 23:36

      Many people say the screen is a bit average. Its not bad but you may want something better for video editing.

      • RickyBaker on 11/10/2018 - 00:24

        They're not professional videos, but travel videos etc. I'm sure itll be fine

  • Question on 10/10/2018 - 23:01

    Looks good, but wouldnt there be better deals when black friday sales hit?

  • RetroMetro on 10/10/2018 - 23:22

    wow, this is exactly the same as my laptop I just bought except mine is refurbished. Mine was $879 and this one is $1 000 dollars. Still a very good price! I went for the refurbished cause I save over $100 dollars plus its been refurbished by Dell, so im assuming they did a good job.

  • bodymovin on 10/10/2018 - 23:37

    Not really worth it since the chassis is a cheap one and only 100mb ethernet

    • FireRunner on 10/10/2018 - 23:51

      I think its the best value for a gaming laptop. Of course theres a lot nicer laptops out there but not for this price.

  • Budgetingman on 10/10/2018 - 23:59

    GTX 1060 3 gb 256 SSD. When PUMPKIN was active it was $1,099 + delivery. Is it something to do with ASUS? Or maybe the listing just has a poor description and hard to search up?

    • RetroMetro on 11/10/2018 - 00:17

      yeah, I saw that one, it was pretty good but Im too broke to get it. Not a bad price though…Really weird just looked at the location it is literally 25 mins from my place. Local pickup would be more of a deal breaker for me as its cheaper.

    This is a great deal for a great laptop. The only complaint is that it gets kinda hot without much effort, starts up the jet engine to cool down but that's probably normal. I installed a 1tb HDD and a 960 evo which makes it even better.
    The m.2 that comes with it is oddly slow, especially mine. Running userbenchmark it was in the lower performing 30% or worse. It constantly took between 30 sec and 2 mins to boot.
    Since it can use nvme m.2 I put one in and fresh installed windows which I would advise everyone do. I get bootup in under 5 seconds now and improved thermals (namely the computer doesn't turn into jetmode as often) and performance (few fps here and there), I imagine it was just junk that I had installed and never removed and whatever dell bloatware is with it. This can run a fair amount of games quite well and is a great little laptop. Also, occasuonally the keyboard leaves a little imprint on the screen bezel which just rubs off with your fingers. 7/10 overall.

    • Jiv on 11/10/2018 - 14:35

      Thanks for sharing.

      Sounds like it needs an upgrade (m.2, cooling) once it's delivered. Kind of offsets the <$1K advantage.

      • ccsvchost on 11/10/2018 - 19:39

        Dell uses a bunch of different SSDs from different manufacturers randomly on their laptops. I didn't get this problem on my laptop so I guess it depends on how lucky you get.

  • djshitu on 11/10/2018 - 14:09

    Thanks OP. Needed a laptop for work. I know it is an overkill with dedicated graphics as I don't intend to game, but given decent battery life, processing power (needed for big OCRing jobs), backlit keyboard with numpad, FHD, option to add additional drives easily etc. etc. and not to mention the price point, I pulled the trigger.

  • SpaceFrog on 12/10/2018 - 09:10

    Very tempted to get one of these, but the lack of USB-C is a bit of a turn off. Would like to use it for work and the occasional game here and there. And for work I'd like to be able to hook up 2 extra displays. I need DisplayPort for one of them.

    Was looking at the G5 with the 1060 as an option, but it is a fair bit more. What is the feel / build quality like? I've always owned crappy plastic things. Is the G5 more solid and metallic? Also will the G5 allow 2 extra outputs via HDMI and USB-C thunderbolt ? I know my current ACER laptop has HDMI & VGA, and will only allow one extra monitor at a time.

    There's also the possibly of getting a laptop purely for work. Are there any options that might suit me? Around $1000 can support 2 extra displays (one being Display Port). Easy to upgrade/maintain. Good CPU. SSD or option for.
