If the deal comes with Slickdeals Rewards (Cashback), it's usually a bad deal.
This laptop is supposedly better than the recent Dell G15 10870h deal. It has a much better display (165Hz, 100% sRGB), higher powered 3060 (115w compared to 90W) and a more efficient processor.

If you got the Amex offer, then this costs about the same as that deal. Worth noting though, I was not able to apply any other coupons on top of it. Confirmed with the CS as well, no other discounts possible.
The other deal is this one with Intel CPU:
https://deals.dell.com/en-us/mpp/...etail/8z5o

With the STUDENT100 coupon, the price comes down to 1100 and stacking with Amex offer brings the total to $980+ tax.

I ordered one and it is being delivered on Monday, and I noticed this same thing. I was going to contact them about it as well but haven't had the chance. Sounds like I probably won't have much luck though...
Just ordered mine from regular dell link (dell.com) instead of (Dell Member Purchase Program), and interestingly, it said est. delivery date is June 17, 2021. Let's see! Hope it is good choice and stays long.

Got this for my son, to replace his aging Omen laptop. So far so good, but he's not happy with the colors: screen is very bright and he feels like some of the colors are washed out. Any tips on how to solve this?

Seems like the intel version is better than the Ryzen version, considering the USB 3.2 ports and the wifi card. I hear the Killer cards are junk cause of the software. But hey the higher watt 115 vs 90 3060 and a better screen might be worth it.

There are definitely some driver issues currently with this laptop.
>Can't get Windows out of 8-bit color.
>I'm on the phone with Dell tech support. Will update.
>While I'm on hold: disappointing for sure, but not super surprising. This is why I'm waiting to buy a M2 MacBook Pro. For myself. I'm my sons Windows tech support. Sigh. I built a couple Threadripper 3960x computers for work and they rip it up. So much power.
>Grr. They have to send it to the advanced software support group. They'll call me in 24 hours. Unhappy teenager. I'll update with any resolution or other issues.

I literally just got the Intel laptop today from the last deal and now I see this. Is it worth sending back the laptop and buying this since I probably have to pay restocking fees.

If you haven't already, install GeForce Experience and install drivers for the gpu there. Then use SupportAssist and check for any drivers you haven't installed.

How would I find that out? Adapter modes clearly show 32-bit mode should be working. But display says it's a UPnP driver. The Radeon display driver software has no setting for bit depth. Seems like it is a BIOS, Radeon, or display driver problem but everything is fully updated. They want me to pay for tech support. Very angry. Had this < 24 hours and it doesn't work.

Why are you using a radeon display driver? Its an nvidia card, also i think i seen it mention that you have to down the new video driver from nvidia manually cause the geforce experience doesnt see it

I have two questions, 1 does it look like windows 3.1? 2. Where did you go to find that it is stuck at 8-bit?
