Hi guys,
I am not familiar with computer much, but at the moment this Dell G15 is on sale for $1819 and I noticed that Cashreward has 10% cashback and my AMEX card also has 10% rebate. Therefore after all the discounts and rebate, it would costs me just under $1500 and I would like to add another 1T SSD on top.

Thanks for your advice
Unless this is a different gen of G15, @ 3:00, it shows there are 2 slots of SSD. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks!
Also my other concern is there was a post about trouble of getting cashback tracked from Dell site for both SB and CR. 10% make a big difference for me
Not sure what video you watched but if you take a look at 5:45 here it shows there is only one slot.
Thanks donga100, I was watching 11th Gen (2021) model where they have both the left and right side but the 2022 seems purposely left the other side unusable. Then I will think about it as I will need to spend another 300+ for a 2TBssd.
Thanks for your info!
@JCRALLYART: Because the review video is in Chinese, I can translate for you, is the position still there, but the slot is been cancelled~
@billhan: so doggy, making me either go with a 2021 model or else buy an Acer Nitro. They have 2 slots M.2 as well as another full size SSD slot for similar price (just that I won't be getting AMEX 10% rebate)
@JCRALLYART: Nitro build quality is bad, I have one from last Dec, and just three months it cannot run by battery, claimed warranty from HN, took three weeks repair.
Also even i9 Nitro don't come with Thunderbolt 4 (only some low range nitro 5 with 1650 video card come with check model number have to be n515-56), and it's type c port do not have video out put.
I sold it and just ordered this G15 5520
@billhan: didn't pay attention on the connections…oh no. the one I am looking at is from harvey

@JCRALLYART: Also for G15 you can combine with vivid5 for further 5% off, and 10% SB cashback, 10% rebate from Amex. Make the final price less than 1400. If you have edu voucher the can get 7% further rather than 5% by vivid5
@JCRALLYART: This nitro has no Thunderbolt 4, 11th i9 won't beat 12th i7. Also if you need connect dual monitor, one monitor only can be from usb A which mean no 4K. I believe extra money is worth to replace a 2TB SSD for G15
@billhan: 5520 which means this year gen 12 or Ryzen 6xxx which means internal wise, only 1 slot of SSD and if you want a 2TB upgrade would cost another 300+
@JCRALLYART: G15 you can get better 12th i7 with 14 core-20 threads, better RAM DDR5 vs DDR4, full power 3060 (130w) vs nitro (95w). plus Thunderbolt 4, better service 1 year onsite, better build quality. If you can get G15 5520 less than 1400, saved $300 for replace SSD to 2TB.
@billhan: The Nitro one is AN515-57-52E0 so it has the thunderbolt 4 but I agree all other components aren't as good as Dell one. If they would have kept the 2nd SSD, I wouldn't need so much time to think and look around.
Thanks for your comparison. I think I will stick with the G15 5520, may I check what is vivid5 for further 5% off or edu voucher the can get 7%? Are they similar to gift card? If so I wouldn't be able to use it as I need to use AMEX to max the discount
@JCRALLYART: AN515-57-52E0 don't has thunderbolt 4, only AN515-56 has. Double triple check spec. Even in HN, see the spec, there is no thunderbolt 4
@JCRALLYART: VIVID5 is 5% off when you checkout enter this coupon. And if you have an edu email you can get a edu voucher from Dell which is 7% off code, you can get it from here https://www.dell.com/en-au/shop/lp/student-laptops
VIVID5 and edu voucher cannot stack together, you need to choose one.
@billhan: thanks. I won't be able to use any code if I want to use Shopback for 10% ex GST cashback
So at the end should costs around $1470. Thanks mate!
@billhan: How sure is this? The code is not listed on shopback I'm scared to take the risk if I don't get discount ha.
@ozchobie: They never promise the cashback, however in Dell invoice or order confirmation never shows any code, promotion coupon or discount. So take own risk.
Where is this cash rewards 10% cashback? All I can find is 6%
Shopback is 10% now.
Ended yesterday
Looks like a pretty good price compared to the last deals but I don't think you can add another SSD.
