Dell Inspiron 17R Special Edition $710 AFTER taxes 17.3" (1080p), i7-3610QM, 8GB DDR3, 1TB HD, nvidia GT650m 2GB

Quote from Neon22 : on the macbook it only requires 2 fingers to swipe back and forth on the web. on my dell(windows 8) i need 3 fingers to swipe back and forth. is there any way to configure the two finger swipe so i can go back and forth on the pages?

It's probably in the settings of the Synaptec or Alps driver.

Quote from fl4kk : Out of stock now ;_;

I see some back in stock, you just have to check periodically.

Quote from funkmasterta : It's probably in the settings of the Synaptec or Alps driver. I see some back in stock, you just have to check periodically.

The deal/coupon only applies to those priced exactly $895. As of right now 17r se's are in stock, just not the right price for the deal to be applicable.

;_;

is this deal still going?

Quote from david8613 : is this deal still going?

Yes. The coupon is supposedly still valid but only on a specific price ($895). And of course that model isn't available right now. The coupon in the op won't work for models that aren't priced $895.

thank you! i am now updating the drivers for that.. i will update u after..

update: updated alps driver, and it still does not work. cant change how i want to swipe..

can you get me the coupon code for 20% off, it is not working for me

Quote from nirvanaguy : eh.. bluray is ridiculous nobody really even uses it. its such a luxury its ridiculous. and please 1080p? If I put a 768p up to your face and told you it was 1080p, you'd believe me. And the converse is true as well- you wouldn't be able to tell the difference unless you had them side by side which is another ridiculous gimmick that consumers fall for so frequently. The only time resolution like this ACTUALLY makes a difference is if your screen is like a 40"+ TV. Since this is a 17" laptop monitor there is literallly no visible difference to the human eye, and if there is you're analogous to an audiophile, someone who pretends they can distinguish differences but in reality are just idiots the SSD is OK, but I'd rather just take the native SATA HDD out and replace it with a samsung 830 256 gb ssd and have everything running off of that. The GPU on this laptop is great, the 650M got awesome reviews.

I agree with you with some of the things u said, but thats just the human nature - they usually want the luxury that they probably wont ever need or use for that mattery{Blue-Rays on laptops - 1080p screens, etc...}.


With that said - I got this one for $379 on Black Friday.

It has a 900P Screen and a Blue-Ray : D

Dont pay attention to the 1 review that shows 2 stars, when u actually click on the customer reviews - there are 4 reviews in total - and 3 out of the 4 are 4+ stars, and I dont really need any reviews to recognize a good deal on a good laptop, I think at $379 this was more than a great deal for the HP that I showed in the link.

I missed the GC deal waiting for these to restock, but I was able to get one with the 20%. I've been using SlickDeals for a bunch of purchases and the OP's post is the best deal I've seen on a nice laptop. Anyone who has harassed the OP on this is part of the problem - IMO any 17" 1080P 3rd gen i7 with decent graphics HW for under $800 is absolutely a "Slick Deal" and if nobody likes the OP then I want his email address so we can share deals and eff the whiners.

As for the screen res, I remote into work sometimes. Laptops with less resolution are a real problem when dealing with the GUIs on certain systems I manage. Just because res means nothing to you doesn't make us nuts. Just like having the nVidia helps me run my CAD okay (res helps here too!). If you want a low-res, less feature-laden laptop then go on that deal's thread - don't come here and bash. 'less your entire personal value is in being a jerk. And that audiophile comment burns me too - some people are visual, some are audio-centric. Just because YOU don't observe something that someone else does certainly doesn't make it make-believe.

fwiw, Dell Chat was able to give me the 20% without the code, just ask them.

The 20% coupon code is no longer valid

This is a great deal - beats the Dell Inspiron 15R SE that was originally priced at $899 (~$790 with the GC hassle), although that had blu-ray and a 32GB SSD. (But this one has a slightly better graphic card and is 17").

Quote from nirvanaguy : lol this was 645 the other day. and this isnt NEW. this is new outlet which means it was returned for some reason. but it was previously owned by someone, it WAS NOT refurbed. and this is a bad price considering you could ge it for 645 without the stupid gift card thing which is a hassle anyway

I bought the $645 one, didn't mind it not being 1080p. Know for a fact (from delays+tech support convos) that this was build for me, and not a reject from someone else. If/When there is a refurbished computer for sale, by law they have to tell you it's a refurb. AND they are not obligated to, but do it anyways, when you call tech and ask is this a reject or an open box, Dell's pretty good about telling you so.

great deal, too bad it's an HP. Good luck with it, personally I would never buy and HP.

and also this has a first gen 3610 i7.. the one that we bought for $645 is a 3rd gen 3630. looks like we got the better deal tbh

The only difference between the 3630 and 3610 is 100MHz of clock.

I picked up the $645 one today (actually found one after they sold out), and I got the $150 off $599 though amex (the front page deal). Makes me kinda sad that I acted too fast and didn't get additional discount through gift cards or cashback. Could have been uber-slick.

Quote from cabbac : "canceled or returnred" what does that mean? could it be that someone opened then returned my item? i was under the impression i was ordering a new unopened laptop

Dell must have sold hundreds or thousands of this particular "Dell Outlet New" model. It is extremely unlikely that Dell had that many customer cancellations (or unused returns) of this particular model. These are clearly being made new for this promotion.

Same with the $645 model.
