.81 used to mean closeout

I think this deal is OK. It would be great if Dell would offer this price directly. Then I could apply some extra Dell discounts.

2nd gen processor.

The Intel Core i5-2450M is a fast dual core processor that first appeared in Dell laptops in 11/2011. It is based on the Sandy Bridge architecture and offers Hyperthreading to handle 4 threads at once (for a better usage of the pipeline). Compared to the faster Core i7, the i5 offers a smaller last level cache of 3MB. The base clock speed is 2.5 GHz but due to Turbo Boost it can reach 2.8 GHz (2 cores active) and 3.1 GHz (1 core active). Compared to the 2510M, the 2450M does not support VT-d and Trusted Execution functions. However, the integrated gpu offers a higher Turbo Boost clock rate.

picked one up. needed the smaller 14Z instead of the larger 14R and Dell Outlet had some pretty slim pickings. Thanks, OP!
