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.

The installed RAM is 8GB, 1x8GB, DDR4, 3200MHz. Dell sells two types of 8G for this laptop.
Dell Memory Upgrade - 8GB - 1RX8 DDR4 SODIMM 3200MHz- $97.99
and
Dell Memory Upgrade - 8GB - 1Rx16 DDR4 SODIMM 3200MHz- $52.9
Will the 1Rx16 be compatible with the 1x8?

I watched a video and it wasn't easy like in the past, you open a panel and just stick it in. Here you had to take out the entire bottom plastic.
It literally was just removing 7 tiny screws, gently removing the plastic bottom so you don't break the tabs, then installing ram. It took five minutes taking my time to install it. Ultra easy.

Can the McAfee LiveSafe Consumer Subscription $37 be cancelled ?
and still be able to post the transaction on 4/30 for Amex ? 482+6%tax=511$

How to contact support for cancelling McAfee subscription ?
Needs a little bit of legwork as the low level customer service representative might deny stating that it's part of the bundle and can't be cancelled. Say you want to talk to your supervisor and make a case stating that you want to opt out. Even supervisors may deny. But keep trying. Call and try again. Only thing that seem to work is be persistent and if it comes to the wait on call for sometime, so be it. Ultimately it is $38 refund for an antivirus which anyways I wouldn't have needed and it's well worth the effort

If anyone purchased it from earlier thread at $534, contact Dell support and they should be able to price match it to today's price. It's just $14.71 buts still worth the effort to make the deal sweeter. So essentially $534- $38( McAfee subscription cancellation)- $14.71( price adjustment)= $484-( $100 Amex offer) = $384 + taxes.
how do u do McAfee subscription cancellation?

Hmm, it might be smart to see which kind the 8GB SODIMM the laptop comes with is. Anyone know?

Edit: their contact system is like any other company that sells out, hard to hear and hard to understand reps. Lots of hold time. Really disappointing!

I'm on the phone right now with these CLOWNS. The rep talks so d$$$ fast with a foreign accent so as to be not understood. He has me on hold to try to talk with a software person---9 minutes on hold so far and it's just silence. Another work-from-home slacker? I'm so f////king sick of these companies! F DELL.

Edit: Aaaaaaaaaand he hung up. Another sh/tshow.
Don't give up so easily. He has to wrap up the call within a fixed time frame, but you don't have to . If he wants to put you on hold for a while to see if you give up, beat him in his own game. Let him be the one to lose and give up. Ultimately, they tend to give up because they can't be on a call forever. If he tries to wrap up without doing anything, insist on talking to a supervisor. That should definitely work. Because even though this rep might have time to waste, his supervisor definitely won't.


If you feel call is not working. Drop them an email and they do get back through email though that could be a day or two later

We need to know if it's 1Rx8 or 1Rx16. The only way to know may be to open up the laptop and look at the memory chip.

It's part of Amex offers. A lot of people got it, but a lot did not. If you have any Amex card, you can login and check your Amex offers.

Thanks, I have an Amex card with navy federal. I'll check it out. Do I need a separate Amex app?
