DELL20

This laptop was recently added to Dell’s eBay posts. With the use of the DELL20 code this laptop is taken down to $799 - which in my opinion is a fantastic deal for anyone looking to get rid of an old laptop. Both the RAM and SSD are very easily, and very cheaply, upgradable. It’s a lot of laptop for the price.

Enjoy, I doubt this pc will last long.

        The original G15 post is a better deal for just a little more money

        G15 has
        Slightly brighter screen 250 vs 220 nits
        Faster 6 core AMD Ryzen CPU vs quad core i7
        Dedicated Nvidia GPU
        More then twice the battery capacity 86wh vs 42wh
        AX WiFi 6 vs WiFi 5 in the Intel

        • shellshocked on 04/07/2021 - 06:59

          Correction 56wh vs 42wh

          It’s also 3/4 a kilo heavier and 3/4 a centimetre thicker, also worth. For someone who doesn’t have an interest in gaming at this price point, I’d say the 3501 is still competitive for $100 less.

            +6

            @[Deactivated]: You are getting a lot more features for only $100 more. Considering that AMD Ryzen based laptop also has also has a bigger 56wh battery, a more power efficient 7nm processor, battery life will be better. Someone quoted that the Intel machine with the 42wh battery will only get about 4hrs of battery life in an ideal situation.

            @Pittyh: Unfortunately you over paid for what you got. The AMD based G15 is a lot better.

            1. The i5 CPU in your laptop is a lot slower and inferior then the AMD Ryzen 5 5600H.

            https://www.notebookcheck.net/i5-10200H-vs-R5-5600H-vs-i5-10…

            If you scroll down to the bottom you will notice that the 5600h scores much higher against the i5..

            Also the 3050 is equivalent to 1660 and much better then the 1650 in your laptop.

        3-Cell, 42 WHr, Integrated battery (small, makes it light but thats at a cost of runtime)
        512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive is adequate dell (256gb should be banned apple & 128gb was criminal!)
        a single 8GB, 1x8GB, DDR4, 3200MHz needs a mate for 16gb so factor in another SODIMM & its best neg in from retail from dell chat (budget +$80)
        CPU is 4cores/8threads, Id be more impressed with a RYZEN 6/12 and intergraded GPU

          The ryzen is about 30pc faster in multicore, the Intel about 20pc faster on single core.

          Also the attack surface that ram provides is very minor! Last time I heard any numbers, it needed physical access within a few minutes, and LN2 to prevent degradation. Could be better attacks these days however.

          So it's more better?

          • shellshocked on 04/07/2021 - 06:42
            +1

            @boretentsu: Yes, the AMD Ryzen 5 4650 scores about 13,000 whilst the Intel i7 scores only 10,000. Higher score is better. Plus the Ryzen has 6 cores vs 4 cores on the Intel. This allows for more breathing room for multiple applications running at the same time.

            • StalkingIbis on 04/07/2021 - 08:42

              @shellshocked: what situations would you notice the amd with extra speed being better? everyday computing?

                +2

                @StalkingIbis: I find it benefits mainly when there are multiple applications running in the background. Modern applications like to use more cores. I upgraded from a quadcore, 10th gen Intel, to an 8 core AMD Ryzen processor and the difference is night and day to me. There always used to be a slow down on the Intel machine, despite having the same 16GB RAM config as my current setup, but it's much smoother now with the 8 core processor, and the same applications.

  • SW2020 on 04/07/2021 - 00:34
    +5

    There are, of course, a few drawbacks to keep in mind. Firstly, the display is only 220 nits meaning it won't be as vibrant as on the XPS. Thunderbolt and USB-C are not supported and battery life is only about 4 hours due to the smaller internal battery. Wi-Fi 5 comes standard instead of Wi-Fi 6 likely to save on costs even further.

      • shellshocked on 04/07/2021 - 03:23

        The g15 also has an 86wh battery, so will get better battery life compared to the 42wh in this laptop.

    "…won't be as vibrant as on the XPS". Lolz. Turn the brightness on an XPS down more than halfway and that's how bright this crappy Inspiron's screen is.

  • Italkdigital on 04/07/2021 - 01:57

    Apart from the screen poor brightness and poor battery life will this laptop feel snappy considering it has a M.2 hard drive, Intel I7 11th gen and 8gb of ram for general web browsing and Lite apps and older games, so good value for money at this price range compared too other AMD laptops at the same price range?

          As I mentioned above for only few dollars more you get

          G15
          Slightly brighter screen 250 vs 220 nits
          Faster 6 core AMD Ryzen CPU vs quad core i7
          Dedicated Nvidia GPU
          More then twice the battery capacity 56wh vs 42wh
          AX WiFi 6 vs WiFi 5 in the Intel

          Considering it has AX WiFi support, your browsing and streaming experience could be better with new tech.

          +1

          The g15 is a way better buy. If your web browsing only there's plenty of i3 shitboxes for even cheaper again so this is kind of a moot point.

          People also swooned over the (imo) bad inspiron deal at 1099 the other day too. Weird.

            @Canberralad92: The G15 is 3/4 of a kilo heavier, and 0.8cm thicker for $100 more.

            For $800 this is still very good for what the market currently has under that price range.

            • shellshocked on 04/07/2021 - 09:12

              @[Deactivated]: Rather spend the extra $100 and get better battery life and a lot more features vs the cheaper Intel based Dell.

      • yjun355 on 04/07/2021 - 08:46

    • Homr on 04/07/2021 - 09:24

          That's fine but only spend $50 to $99 more and the specifications are much better then this deal. The current G15 is better,and the recently out of stock Lenovo deal had much better specifications.

            @shellshocked: True, but it also comes down to preference.

            If you have no plans to carry the laptop anywhere certainly, but for some people they may be willing to sacrifice performance in favour of portability.

            • shellshocked on 04/07/2021 - 11:15

              @Pelicannn: The Intel laptop only has a 42wh battery. This can only muster up to maximum 4 battery life. The G15 AMD based laptop has a 56wh battery. I also have the previous generation 8 core, AMD based, Dell G5 gaming laptop with a 56wh battery.and can get 6 to 7hrs productivity out of it. The G15 will yield similar results or better results. No point being slightly smaller if the Intel laptop can't provide decent battery life.

          Cool.

          They’re both good deals. Plus, clearly from your response you’ve never owned this dell, that’s why you are in downvote land and your neg got removed.
