Sorry, but there was never a similar I5 for $300 during BF.

The 11th Gen WERE shipping during BF, but the deals were only on the 10th Gen.
Huge Generational Difference.

The SCREEN on this laptop is actually a quality screen in both NITS and Resolution.
The BF deals did not have this quality screen....

The BUILD Quality for the mid-tier laptops, this is a high-quality build with better chassis, keyboard, trackpad, etc.. etc....

The SSDs were smaller on bottom-tier....

And no....In General, there were not any long-standing deals for any i5s at $300. Perhaps a 5-minute deal, but those were the older i3s....Any i5 deal that was not OOS in under 5minutes for the i5 was closer to $350.

And if you are lucky to have the AMEX deal, then this is only $420....
Blowing away even BF deals if you have the AMEX deal.

This is the same laptop as in the below FP deal but now $15 cheaper. Refer to the below thread which can answer most of your questions for this Laptop.

No, it is not high at all and in fact one of the cheapest price. And What is that idiotic logic of paying over $500 for a 14 incher? You know, there are 14 incher costing $2000 as well. The Price of a Laptop is not just decided by the Screen size.

Surprised this has an aluminum case at this price range... great deal, and 14" is a nice compromise between decent sized monitor and ultra portability.
I bought this from the last deal and I'm not sure it's actually aluminum other than in color. Can anyone else who has the laptop confirm it is actually aluminum?

Oh. So in the pic it looks invisible because it's with the backlight on in a brightly lit environment? And if they shut it off ... It would appear as gray characters on a silver background?
Correct, it's not hard to see in a brightly lit room with the backlight off because it appears gray letters on silver keys.

Would you mind providing a link to Dell's site where they sell this memory? I saw a compatible 8GB SODIMM on their site for around $100 iirc, so this would be much cheaper.
"Dell Memory Upgrade - 8GB - 1Rx16 DDR4 SODIMM 3200MHz | Dell USA" https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/s...023/memory

CS rep did say that it is on sale at the moment and the regular price is around the $100. I cancelled my order last night. Estimated shipping was may 4th. Good luck

Thank you. Going by Dell's pics, I would never have known that.

I still think it's weird to have to turn off the backlight during the day but it's not super inconvenient.

Hey OP. Do you work for SD?
If so, can you guys negotiate with vendors so the discount applies to a quantity of more than one.
I'm buying computers for my kids and pretty much all these laptop "deals" have been a disappointment.

Can you buy on separate orders or does it not allow you to get the discount on a subsequent order?

Has anyone tried calling to get the 10% coupon applied?

What's the point of the coupon if it doesn't apply?😛

Thanks, still a great deal, but it would make more sense that it's plastic. I own an aluminum XPS that was over $1k even on sale, and the better build quality is one of the reasons I bought into the XPS line.

Quote from acbharath14 View quoted comment :
Terms states that unless the unit is defective, you could be charged a restocking fee. But then again, you may have to cook up a reason for return if it comes to returning it without any actual technical issue. One thing right on top of my head that's very subjective but still could be an annoyance to many is the silver keyboard. Even though it's backlit it's almost as if you are typing blindly unless you are well versed with the position of the keys.
Got it, thanks ! So you're saying Dell is less likely to charge a restocking fee if you give them a reason thats based more on your personal preferences / not liking the product, vs some technical defect on the laptop itself ? What is the general angle that you should try to spin that leads them to less likely charge the restocking fee? Thanks!

The 10% coupon e-mail says in big letters...

"And, as a thank-you, enjoy this coupon the next time you shop with us."

Liars.
