Original PEACE 15% or 20% off Selected Sellers on eBay Deal Post
A good alternative can be Ideapad S530 for $1279, but Lenovo decided that they would change the quantity to 5 as soon as the 20% off went live

another difference is that the ones in OP's post are 16G ram and i7
bigger difference is 8565U
Agreed, not really an alternative.
What would people go for? The Dell or the Ideapad?
I see the Idea pad has an NVidia GPU? which is a point of difference? which would be the better build quality?
(I'm a n00b, hence the n00b questions)……
Depends on what you want to use it for,but is personally go with Lenovo.
I bought the 7300 series a year ago and the light bleed on the screen edges was terrible. Dell agreed and swapped the screen for me; three times. The new screens were all as bad, so I concluded it's a design fault and got a refund. They didn't argue at all, they agreed that each screen was bad.
I tried an XPS instead and the screen is good.
Geez, this or the Dell XPS 13 but i5 and 8gb…
Depends if you are after premium build and light weight or better specs.
I'm in the same boat. Waiting for an XPS 13 16gb/512 frost white touchscreen. Going to TRS and claim on tax.
thunderbolt on any of these?
So eBay has a 20% off sale on tech but the max discount is $300, which means you only get 20% on items that cost less than $1500. Ok for this deal, but seems a bit disingenuous of eBay putting the "20% discount" banner on more expensive items when it clearly doesn't apply.
This may be an odd question, but does anyone with a newish Dell laptop, XPS or Inspiron, have issues with the power charger cord constantly falling out? I have an older model XPS 15 which I'm going to replace soon. The damn charger cable has been falling out by itself since the day I bought it. It is incredibly frustrating, you don't even need to move and it falls out by itself. I changed chargers and the same thing happens. I would like a new XPS but refuse to give Dell my money if they have not fixed this problem. Any Dell owners still have this happen?
We have 3 Dell Inspirons, ranging from about 5 years old to one bought just before Christmas. All different models. None have problems with the power cord falling out.
I bought the Dell XPS 15 9560 last year. A great computer. However, some negatives:
- Bluetooth keeps disconnecting. Sometimes my bluetooth mouse stops connecting and I have to re-link the connection.
- The laptop would stop charging at one point. I hear its a common issue. I opened it up, played around with the battery and thankfully it's fine now.
- The charger light stays lit even when the laptop is off. Not a big deal but I have to turn off the power switch everytime.
Haven't experienced the charger falling out though.
Thanks that is good to know.
If I use this for video edit, Pr or AE, just normal Vlog, is this one good enough to handle?
is this with thunderbolt/can use usb c docking station?
how can it comapre with xps 13 for work/programming?
Any guess what the battery life would be for this one. Would be for someone coming from an old Mac air.
Also would like to know.
Another alternative, beside Dell and Lenovo, if you prefer a slightly larger screen
Asus ZenBook UX430UN 14" FHD i5-8250U 8GB 512GB SSD $1,299 on coming Sunday night.
