my old deal expired but then got much better falling below $1000

UPDATE: looks like OOS already
UPDATE 2: that buckled fast

UPDATE 3: if someone would like to know part number for extended 96wh battery, here it is: 6GTPY

UPDATE 4: for those who missed out, go to dell outlet and search for 7590, there are similar priced options with same specs

UPDATE 6: I have been made aware that all orders are now confirmed. Did you receive your order confirmations?

i7-9750H
GTX 1650 4GB GDDR5
8GB RAM
512GB SSD
FullHD IPS - DELL says this is 72% NTSC which means close to full sRGB coverage
Thunderbolt 3
machined aluminium build
dual NVMe slots on board so you can just add a second 2280 NVMe drive to extend storage

refurbished, 1 year warranty from Dell. for another $127 warranty can be extended to 3 years

cool gaming machine for cheap. full metal build. make sure you know how to control power consumption in windows and Dell power manager as cooling might struggle to keep 6 core CPU cool

also some reviewers didn't like white keyboard. with backlight on it's hard to read the letters under certain lighting. I suppose turning backlight off during the day and on in darkness should resolve this? anyway.

this is mainly a laptop for photo video processing since it's damn hard to find full sRGB coverage, 300nit screen, and 45w CPU in one package at this price

and this unit has it all plus you can game on it. win?

p.s. for reference, I have the same machine but Vostro branded. I use my laptops on battery power normally. these are the power settings I use:

When I don't need a lot of compute power (browsing, documents, viewing photos or videos):
- Windows: Better battery
- Dell Power Manager: Cool

on these settings it runs cool and quiet

when doing editing I switch to:
- Windows: Better performance
- Dell Power Manager: Ultra Performance

gets warm but not crazy

I suggest settings the laptop on the table for gaming, and connecting to power supply, because something like Division will consume battery quick

      build quality doesn't match xps, though it is machined aluminium chassis as well

      • plmko on 11/10/2020 - 00:04

        I would reach for a XPS 7590 chasis. The upgrade possibility of a 97wh battery on a 1080p screen would give you enormous run time.

        • shabaka on 11/10/2020 - 00:07

          this one can also be upgraded to 96wh
          you can't get Dell to do it before you buy, but you can do later yourself

      yes, 2 slots, one of them available

      I cannot say for this unit, in the past I bought a few things from Dell outlet and they never look used

  • asa79 on 10/10/2020 - 22:56

    NTSC instead of PAL?

    • shabaka on 10/10/2020 - 23:08

      yeah I need to brush up on these standards and whatnot

      all I know is 45% NTSC is crap, 60% is passable, 72% is good enough for online content creation as it's 100% sRGB colour space

      • Phoebus on 10/10/2020 - 23:13
        +2

        Iirc 72% NTSC colour is all windows and most programs support. So it's about as good as you can get for general computing, gaming and video watching. Higher colour is supported only buy specialised photo and printing apps afaik

        • shabaka on 10/10/2020 - 23:16

          ditto

    • TeddyBear on 11/10/2020 - 01:36

      And 1080 scanlines.

    • blonky on 11/10/2020 - 03:06
      +1

      Refers to the colour gamut.

      Surprisingly enough NTSC isn’t just a TV standard but a committee that created other broadcast standards, such as the NTSC colour space (similar to how we also have sRGB and DCI-P colour standards, among others)

  • Phoebus on 10/10/2020 - 23:09

    Good cpu, good gpu, awesome screen. Bargain.
    Refurb is usually as good as new, even with new warranty.
    If I needed a laptop now I'd jump on this.

    • Oneshot on 11/10/2020 - 02:07
      +1

      I second that.
      Absloute beast for the price.
      As a owner, i would say it ticks all the boxes, just a bit of heating issues but nothing major.

      • shabaka on 11/10/2020 - 08:46
        +1

        yes I think there's nothing comparable on the market right now that combines metal build, 300nit full sRGB coverage, 45w CPU, dual NVMe, $1k price and also gaming graphics on top

        I just wish 1650 had same encoder as higher end graphics

      but this i7 9750H is better than the current 10th gen 10510u

    • shabaka on 10/10/2020 - 23:36

      it's not available retail any more, RRP was $2000+ but that's Dell RRP, it's always overinflated

      Brand new Inspiron 15 7000 is currently $1701 on Dell's website after cashback. The 7000 does however have a slightly faster 10th gen cpu (i7-10750H vs i7-9750H) and GPU (GTX 1650 ti vs GTX 1650).

    if using for business, is refurbished unit tax deductible?

    • Buy2Much on 10/10/2020 - 23:59

      New, refurb or second hand, as long as you have a tax invoice, it’s tax deductible. I have read where a written receipt (say a gumtree purchase) is also valid but this you would have to double check with your accountant.

      • Aerith-Waifu on 11/10/2020 - 00:06

        Yes! You are right, few years back I sold an 2nd hand Victor mower for $200 and the guy asked me to wrote a receipt. Turns out he is needs a mower for his business. Only just remembered this after you mentioned it.

    • glashalful on 11/10/2020 - 00:02

      I think so. They only look for the tax invoice from company registered for tax.

  • Jugganautx on 10/10/2020 - 23:55

    Whats the go with refurbs and battery health? is it covered under warranty? do they replace the battery when they fix it up or am i going to get a laptop with less than 80% left on it?

    • MuddyClear on 11/10/2020 - 00:29

      Unless the battery was faulty it would be the same. At 80% battery the laptop would have to be used for around 18-24 months, which is highly unlikely.

  • shockrave on 11/10/2020 - 00:40

    Thanks have bought it

    Going to put a second 8GB RAM in - do you know what model is used in this one? Might try and match it

    Thanks

    • O O on 11/10/2020 - 00:50

      Here is the specifications on Dell website. You should look for 260-pin SO-DIMM DDR4 RAM with 2666 rating or better, e.g.

      Crucial 8GB (1x8GB) CT8G4SFS8266 DDR4 2666MHz SODIMM RAM.

      • shockrave on 13/10/2020 - 00:42

        Would this RAM below work - marginally cheaper and Amazon said this is newer and was recommending it when I landed on the page of the CT8G4SFS8266

        https://www.amazon.com.au/Crucial-PC4-21300-SODIMM-260-Pin-M…

        Prime Day sale for $41.25 from the US vs $45.66 for the model you recommended

        • O O on 13/10/2020 - 00:43

          Yes, go for it before sold out.

          • shockrave on 13/10/2020 - 00:45

        Isn't there limited (or no?) benefit in having mismatched amounts of RAM? 8GB + 16GB is less efficient than 8GB + 8GB?

        • team teri on 11/10/2020 - 11:04

          There's a reason this comes with 1x8GB and not 2x4GB. Yes, dual channel can boost performance at the margins, but more RAM makes more of a difference in my own usage scenarios. Swapping, even onto SSD is a real drag.

  • Macky1012 on 11/10/2020 - 01:02

  • kimlo on 11/10/2020 - 02:46

    Wish it had a high refresh screen but other than that an excellent deal. RAM is easily found for $50 to bring it up to 16GB and it's an all round excellent laptop.

    Got it with 3 year in home warranty for an extra $127 which is a fair price for an extra 2 years onsite warranty IMO.

    • shabaka on 11/10/2020 - 08:50

      yes, that would be a bonus, but this is not marketed as a gaming machine, and I have a feeling that adding 144hz screen would make it less popular due to increased power consumption

      • Top G on 11/10/2020 - 15:21

        Lol it's already running a beast i7 9750h , which is a power hungry gaming processor. Albeit the GPU isn't the greatest.

    Damn, bought this from the eBay deal for around $1200… Would love to have gotten on this. Boots fast, excellent colours, haven't used it for video editing yet. Need to change the settings because it can overheat and get hot fast. Would buy it at this price for sure! Easy to upgrade 8GB ram or 32GB if you want.

    • aldoboy on 11/10/2020 - 04:52

      What is the best settings to avoid overheating?

      • BargainHunter55 on 11/10/2020 - 07:31
        +4

        I downloaded an app called Throttlestop and basically I can adjust the power levels from there. It's not recommended but I can reduce the temperature by around 20 degrees when doing gaming or basic web viewing and browsing. It runs extremely hot on first run but it can be adjusted. There's a European YTber called W2Best who has some great guides on this. I'd recommend following what he does. I forget the graphics/power settings I changed it to in the control panel but PM me if you really want to know and I can check it out.

        I don't blame people sending it back to Dell. It was running at 90 degrees at some times often for little reason. Also the fans run hard to compensate but they're not running now from basic YT and web browsing, but when I do some light gaming they ramp up a little. Without the tweaks it would be running very hot and the fans turning on and off at random times. Running at 40 degrees atm.

        • aldoboy on 11/10/2020 - 15:12

          Thanks so much. I will test this once the laptop arrives.

        • Gravy on 12/10/2020 - 08:41

          I’ve got an Inspiron 7720 from 2012 and was able to reduce temps by about 6-7 degrees C whilst gaming simply by raising the back of the laptop by about an inch off the desk. I use an external keyboard And monitor so the angle isn’t an issue.

        Thanks that should be enough for her, just need to upgrade the RAM perhaps.

        • shabaka on 11/10/2020 - 08:04
          +2

          yes. don't bother going to dell directly, I can give you a part number and you will source it from eBay for example, or any laptop parts dealer, cheaper this way

          note that 96wh battery makes it impossible to put in a 2.5" sata drive

          not a worry since this laptop does have dual nvme so you can have another nvme drive in there, who cares about sata in laptops in 2020

          • freakingtaco on 11/10/2020 - 08:13

            @shabaka: Thanks mate thats very helpful. I assume the RAM is upgradable to 16gb? One of the comments above has a link to a $80 1x16gb.
