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?

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

    Wow, there's a ton of laptops in the Dell Outlet at the moment…

    Trying to dig up one with an M.2 slot + 2.5 bay. Is it just the Dell Vostro 7xxx series that does that now?

    • shabaka on 11/10/2020 - 08:32

      you'll have to check specs, a lot of models have this

      the way to do this is Google for the exact model, go to dell support page for it, select "documents" and there "setup" that document has details on specs for everything, internal connectors, possible storage configurations, display, ports etc

    As a person who's not in a need of a laptop now but would want one. Is this a great deal? I can wait a few weeks or months for any upcoming sales.

    • shabaka on 11/10/2020 - 08:52

      then I would wait till black friday. this is good deal, but specs are getting a bit dated.

      on coming sales I would expect good ryzen 4000 laptops coming closer to $1000 mark

  • OzHan on 11/10/2020 - 08:58

    Why buy this over XPS? had an inspiron many years ago and its build quality was not very good.

    • shabaka on 11/10/2020 - 09:01
      +3

      this is poor man's xps
      let me put this into perspective for you

      XPS is really Inspiron 9000
      this is Inspiron 7000

      this means better build quality than any other Inspiron but not quite an XPS

  • ellenina on 11/10/2020 - 09:20

    Looks good, how does the build compare to Lenovo?

    • shabaka on 11/10/2020 - 09:21

      which Lenovo model you have in mind

      • rgame on 11/10/2020 - 09:30

        Lenovo ideapad slim 5? AMD 4500U, 8gb, 512gb NVME, 14"

        I know there is a big difference between graphic cards, but maybe for not gaming people

        It was for $868 two weeks ago

        • shabaka on 11/10/2020 - 09:38

          as far as build quality goes, they are comparable, Inspiron 7000 being in general slightly better than Ideapad 5

          • rgame on 11/10/2020 - 09:40

            @shabaka: Do you know if the Dell warranty is only within Australia or worldwide?

            Only the Lenovo ThinkPad is worldwide warranty.

  • mazuko on 11/10/2020 - 09:55

    This or the popular ThinkPad E14 gen2 (AMD) ?

    • shabaka on 11/10/2020 - 10:10

      depends on if you would like to have a lot of buyer's remorse or a little

  • Michaelz101 on 11/10/2020 - 09:56

    Tempted. Saw a Inspiron here maybe 6 years ago and got one and didn’t really need it. A few years ago got Xiaomi first MacBook copy and again didn’t use it much. Definitely letting this one go until I actually have a use for a laptop!

    Get in quick if your still deciding. Only 14 left (had 70? at the start).

      • Alexander420 on 11/10/2020 - 14:48

        What is the difference between this and 7591?

        • O O on 11/10/2020 - 15:04

          The chassis of 7590 is made of magnesium alloy, while 7591 is made of aluminium.

        • shabaka on 11/10/2020 - 15:12
          +5

          these guys are lighter (magnesium vs aluminum), but packed with i5 (4 core) instead of i7 (6 core)
          and color is black
          the rest is all the same

          there's a bit of confusion around the interweb about these three:
          - Vostro 7590
          - Inspiron 7590
          - Inspiron 7591

          They all can come in a variety of configurations, but essentially this is all exactly the same design, the only thing that differs is body material and color scheme
          Vostro 7590: machined aluminum 1.8kg, black body, black keyboard, black bezel
          Inspiron 7590: magnesium alloy 1.6kg, black body, black keyboard, black bezel
          Inspiron 7591: machined aluminum 1.8kg, silver body, white keyboard, white bezel

  • badonde on 11/10/2020 - 14:50
    +2

    This is a great deal! I have the 7590 which is a little lighter and comes with 97wh, but considering new battery is about 100 bucks this is way cheaper and a fantastic machine.

    You absolutely need to use throttlestop for best performance. Also recommend repasting the cpu and gpu, once these thermal issues accounted for you have a ripper machine, lightweight and all day battery.

    The main benefit of this machine is portability and potential for battery life. If it's something to sit at home, get something with better cooling like a g3/g5

    • shabaka on 11/10/2020 - 15:00

      that's the plan :) I will upgrade battery and repaste when I get mine

    • BargainHunter55 on 12/10/2020 - 11:44

      Hey mate, I have the same model. I use throttlestop as well.

      Have you repasted the CPU and GPU and found it to give much lower temperatures?

      I agree with your last point. I take it around and fine the weight to be perfect for my needs.

  • aldoboy on 11/10/2020 - 15:13

  • dheywood on 12/10/2020 - 18:09

    Kinda gutted I missed out on this. I've got a very decent spec XPS 15 (i7/32Gb/1Tb SSD/4k). But it is about 4 years old and battery life isn't as great with the higher power CPU etc from that era, even with a new battery (97wh) I'm averaging 5-6 hours just doing web browsing and document work etc.
    Not sure
    what this Inspiron gets with the upgraded battery, but I'd assume a bit better. I might keep an eye out for a repeat of this deal!

    • shabaka on 12/10/2020 - 18:25

      with extended battery (I think it might even use the same battery model you got? not 100% sure, worth checking) it should rake in up to 8-10 hours, depends on power settings.

      but then again maybe if you fiddle with power settings on your unit maybe you'll get more out of it

      4k screen might be also a big consumer

  • Vladdo on 12/10/2020 - 19:56

    With these being 'refurbished', I assume that these are in new condition with no marks etc. With there being 82? of them when it was initially posted up, surely that can't be 82 that have been returned. I wonder if there was some sort of issue with this specific laptop, has since been remedied and are now clearing them out.

    The other laptops on that page only have a handful of quantities…

    • shabaka on 12/10/2020 - 22:13
      +2

      I can explain it to you. the stock is transferred to outlet in waves, every week, from a number of countries, not just Oz
      stock is reviewed by authorized resellers first, and anything in big quantities gets reserved and sold elsewhere
      anything that doesn't get scooped up at that stage ends up on outlet website

      right now there's a promotion: these products are sold on outlet website at a price that the resellers normally would pay. so none of the resellers saw it fit to sell these laptops at $989 plus margin, and Dell themselves struggled to get them going for $1200

      but now the price is right, and they are taken.

      • Vladdo on 13/10/2020 - 00:20

        Cheer thanks for the explanation Shabaka..

        • shabaka on 13/10/2020 - 00:30

          no problem at all

  • kimlo on 15/10/2020 - 19:00

      mine is being shipped tomorrow, I confirmed with the sales

      I asked about the rest

      UPDATE: the other orders should be dispatched around the same time. within 2-3 business days there will be a confirmation with a tracking

      sounds like Dell Outlet wasn't ready to be ozbargained. they should switch into second gear sometime soon

      • kimlo on 15/10/2020 - 19:31

          further to your information: you should get an email from Dell | Order Confirmation

          inside that email there will be a link called View Purchase, that will take you to a web page tracking the status of the order.

          • kimlo on 15/10/2020 - 20:44

            @shabaka: Yeah I got that early yesterday morning. Just says ETA 23/10 hoping they don't ship it with the slowest option but it's been years since I've ordered from the outlet so I don't remember if they express post things or not.

                    @shabaka: I'm from Brizzy, but yeah my bad, it is with DB Schenker (never had a delivery from them). The tracking link just goes to a blank tracking number page. Hopefully they're a 1-2 day delivery mob.

                    • shabaka on 16/10/2020 - 21:15

                      @kimlo: ah, let me enlighten you on this.
                      the link will work tomorrow most likely

                      what you could do today is get on the chat with the Outlet give them your order number from confirmation email (starts with 8) and they would give you a real tracking number. too late now

                      mine is said to arrive on Monday

      • Vladdo on 17/10/2020 - 12:17

        I've received an order confirmation email. A tax invoice email, with no shipping details (shipping with DB schneker..) and now a Welcome to Tech Support email.

        Would just love to know where my laptop is.

        • shabaka on 17/10/2020 - 12:56

          I should probably write an instruction on how to deal with Dell Outlet. it can be a confusing process if you don't know your way around things

          the confirmation email should have a link to order details page

          once that says shipped, take order number (starts with 8) and talk to Outlet chat they will give you tracking details

          or just wait a day or two, the tracking link on order details page will start working.

      • Ozie on 19/10/2020 - 10:51

        I thought you bought the vostro one shabaka. 😀

        • shabaka on 19/10/2020 - 11:14

          I did! long story, I returned it and got an Inspiron now (arriving today).

          my Vostro had a weak hinge and they offered to either fix it or to return it, and I being a curious customer returned it to get something else instead.

          and voila the inspirons dropped into the outlet warehouse a few days later, so I got curious about 7590 and got one :) there were just 4 or 5 units available not enough for an ozbargain listing, but 7591 were plenty, so I posted those instead. and a few other things too!

          but that's just me being me. I have so many laptops because I have to know things about all different models, see? so I have a little budget set aside for buying/ selling things to broaden my knowledge about hardware. I am buying and selling something all the time. it's fun!

    Got mine today. The fans are annoying loud and it does run hot so I made some changes.

    First thing, I added another 8GB stick of RAM to bring it to 16GB.
    I replaced the thermal paste with some noctua nt-h1 which brought temps down about 5c
    I then set Windows mode to Better Battery
    I then set Dell Power manager to "cool"
    I then installed Throttle Stop and went into the PWR section and set CPU Core to -125mV, set CPU Cache to -125mV and then Intel GPU to -49mV, set it to save voltages, set throttle stop to turn on and start with Windows.

    It now runs beautifully, doesn't feel hot anymore and the fans aren't constantly blasting, much, much better laptop now that I'm super happy with. I mainly want this for my business so I don't need the CPU to be blasting at full throttle while web browsing.

    Highly recommend anyone who buys it to run the above settings if you just want a cool and quiet laptop.

    Also ran a quick game of League of Legends and I get a comfortable 150-200FPS at 1080p high settings which is awesome. I didn't buy this to game but I love having the option when I travel.

  • johncitizen on 19/10/2020 - 21:50

    My one arrived today. It came installed with the Chinese language of Windows 10 though. It also looks like I can’t change it because it is the single language edition.

    Looks like my only avenue is to buy a new Windows OS or return the laptop.

    Anyone had this issue before?
