They usually add one unit at a time and then replace it right after it sells or some time later, this should go on for weeks....as it has in the past on most prior $xx5 Hot Deals. In past Exact Price "Outlet Hot Deals", Dell sometimes gets the Deals listed before the inventory gets started or it is extremely slow to begin with, but speeds up as time goes on over the weeks ahead. |
What's with these crappy 1366x768 displays? Now to avoid people catching on, they don't list the resolution at all, just 720p (wow, awesome, not).
|
this is, imo, a much better deal than the i5 3rd gen convertible going for 820+ tax a few days ago.
|
The XPS 12 convertible was $820?

As much as I want the newer XPS 13's with full HD, I think I would pass this version for an XPS 14, although slightly heavier and no SSD, it goes for the same price IF you could find it at your local best buy in clearance. $597 at one of my BB's while others nearby have them for around $6xx

I am very confused with your level of human thinking. Anyway, your NORMAL buyers are just average people who know sh** what they are looking at. Many of us here do care. Especially since those crappy screens often come with the brightness of 180 nits or below. And then you NORMAL buyer says: This laptop has a beautiful picture. Does it connect to internet too ? " |
You need to update your 15yrs of consumer electronics business experience. I've only had one apple product and this resolution is 13" it is a bit low but usable. I have an Alienware m11x w/ 1366x768 (11.6" screen) and that's about adequate. I did have a Macbook 13" before retina and I think that was 1280x800....even in Mac OSX, the font was pretty ugly and low-res :vomit:

The XPS 12 was a great deal, too. 3rd gen iSeries CPU, 1920x1080 res IPS, flip screen, and touch. This is not a deal in my opinion compared to the other recent deals that have been seen. |
I apologize, I was more talking about the Retina display 13 inch. If you want a nice display you have to pay more for it. These laptops do come in higher resolution but again most NORMAL users don't need it so Dell sees no need to release many of them. Dell doesn't release many of them so they usually cost more and they are also harder to find. Forgive me for saying that if you choose to bitch about a 13 inch laptops resolution then you aren't a real visual connoisseur anyways. MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO NEED HIGH RESOLUTION, BUY LARGE DISPLAY MONITORS WITH HIGH RESOLUTION IPS PANELS AND AMAZING COLOR. As I said, I have been in the industry a long time and I do Photo Editing, Website building, Video editing and I play games and I sure as hell would never do it on a laptop. You see a desktop is more powerful, more versatile and can cost less. I have a crappy little laptop I have for basic usage while traveling. I learned years ago to never buy a laptop expecting it to ever work how I would use my desktop. I wasted so much time and money and was never satisfied with the out come. So again I will say most NORMAL users do not need a high resolution display and if you want to waste the money on one you are welcome to and if you really want to waste your money buy an Apple.

The Apple MacBook Pro's have been out for awhile now and they just increased the specs and lowered the price this week. Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display [apple.com] |
I'm sure 13" with 1366x768 is better than 1280x800 on the Mac 13" I had. When I got it from work last year, I was disgusted by how crappy the fonts looked and that apple owners would actually live with it. I dont think there was any options to upgrade either before Retina version came out.
Now because my m11x weigh 4.7lbs and my recent travels across the Atlantic got me shopping for another laptop now. I want to keep it under 3lbs, have about 5hr life, and MUST have ivybridge cpu for HD4000 since HD4000 on my Macbook and my other work Dell Latitude E6430 can still play some games at 720p @30-40fps. Its not as good as Alienware, but I can live with it to save weight (internation flights can be strict on carry-on). And yes, when I want to game "big" I got to my eyefinity setup at home with an overclocked Xeon and Radeon 6950 2GB box (it's about 2yrs old now). I've been looking at a few ultraportables under 3lbs and $1k, and I can't find many cheaper than Apple Outlet price on 11" Macbook Air w/ Ivybridge given the same hardware. I'd be installing windows right away w/ Bootcamp so I'm not sure if I can live w/o touchscreen going fwd with Win8 Pro. Quote:

I don't mind the resolution though would like it to be higher for personal preferences. My biggest issue is with the quality of the screens used. Many still use a standard tn panel and ask a high price. Its the biggest issue I have with my current laptop. The new 1080p screen does have a higher color gamut than the standard screen(72 to 45 percent). That for me is a definite improvement bit the price is too high.
This though is a good deal, my sister looking into a new laptop and this is right in her price range |

Also, the earthquake/tsunami in Japan 2 years ago, roughed up the laptop market pretty bad. Li-on batteries, silicon and materials for LCD's where all affected, driving costs up for everyone. If it wasn't for Mother Nature, we'd be well into small 1080p+ panels in everyone's portable electronics by now. |

If most people wanted 1080p on their laptops then most laptops would have 1080p screens. Guess what most laptops are not 1080p so most people dont care about or want 1080p on their laptops.
The Intel® HD Graphics 3000 kills the deal for me. Its an XPS and should have more than a basic graphics card. I guess it would be fine for basic stuff like email, web, word, etc as it is portable. But why buy an XPS if it is only a basic laptop? |

tempted but...
no sd slot no hdmi or vga no optical drive maybe i need the 14z |
I might have caved if I didn't see the Dell XPS 14 deal that I missed out on a couple weeks back...basically the same price for a much newer model, better screen, more battery life, better specs overall laptop.

I'm starting to get the feeling that jonny4 doesn't like Apple.

Normal people couldn't afford the IBM T220 monitor or the IBM Thinkpad T60 with 2048x1536 resolution. Even people can appreciate the sharpness that a higher resolution screen has. I can show a normal person what 1366 x 768 looks like on a 15.6" screen and I can show them how 1920 x 1080 looks like on a 15.6" screen and they would say that the 1920 x 1080 one looks better. Of course I'm using multiple laptops (with different panels) to show that. |

probably has something to do with the price but that's just me and my way of thinking... |

Listen buddy, there's a reason why you're being paid to demo Windows to normal buyers. You obviously lack both the manners and skills to interact with more sophisticated buyers. |

OK, these are Now back in-stock, there are 2 of them right Now and they should be keeping them in stock for weeks to come as in the past.
As soon as they sell they add one or two more, usually right away, as in the past. There might be a delay from time to time, however, they will keep coming, keep looking if not there when you look. |
