Dell uses 2 different panels. I am pretty sure this is the lower 250 nits, or they would have advertised the better one Frown Other than that, it seems like a solid machine, but check the reviews on the hinges. They have had problems in the past with them breaking, especially on the flip/ touch screen versions

Here is one review: Cons: touch screen is not useful, it would better to replace touch screen with higher color (RGB) screen. Fan noise is a little loud.
I jumped on it but then realized in time that 5700U is still Zen2 based. Just in time so I was able to cancel and avoid Dell restocking fee
Didn't say 250 is good. Just stated the fact.

At this price, it's hard to find 300 nits. Even 300 won't make a big difference under the sun.

Since I don't watch dirty videos outside, it's OK.

If the hinge problems are on the flip versions, they won't apply to this model since the hinges are different.

Saw another potential discount from a site that provide bus info to insiders or BI. It looks as though it offers a $100 Amazon gift card for the purchase of Dell over $500. Anyone use it or have experience with that?
How would one stack the Raku+en and Bus info promotions?

Anyone one know when the Amex 120 dollar is added to credit, is it after shipment of the product... I am worried since the ear buds I ordered with another dell laptop (to get to 600$) will be shipped in august and I might need to wait till then to get the 120$... if so, I can cancel it and order another available to order cheap product

Does this come with a fingerprint scanner?

I believe only the Business version of this does, which will also come with 10 Pro, instead of Home.

I just got my $120 credit email from amex. Let's see if I get the 10% CB (it sounds like I may only be eligible for 2%), but I will confirm later. Either way - solid deal. May not be great but came at a time I was desperate so better than nothing.
How did you get the credit so quickly?

Also based on the Amex 120 off rules it expressly prohibits member purchase program per terms - " This offer does not apply to refurbished items, systems or spare parts and is not valid for online auctioneers, Professional Associations, or other Dell Member Purchase Programs. "

If I have missed something please let me know as I have been holding off the member purchase deals precisely because of this.

After your card is charged you should generally get an email stating that you used an offer within 24 hours I think.

You cannot stack. It's one or the other. The business info site does not allow other CBs

How do you find the nits of the display for these units? I've been eyeing the non-touch version of this. Waiting for a deal. Is that going to be 250 as well?

My current laptop I use for work is only 220 nits and I don't really have an issue with that, so I don't know that 250 is going to be terrible for me anyway.

I got the same laptop from last deal Here's my review from last post:
I just got mine 2 days ago, the 5700U, 16 GB option. It does have touch screen(250 nits) and finger print scanner.
Charging it with USB-C cable since day 1(using 65W charger). Dell's brick charger still in the box untouched <--- hate the dedicated charging cable.
Single charge of the laptop can last 12 hour straight with lighter work easily.
My fan doesn't always turn on but there's this application called "Notebook FanControl" set the config to Dell Inspiron 7375 and it can control the fan perfectly, but if you are running some heavy stuff make sure to turn it on. I like to turn it off when I'm just doing excel and browsing. laptop stays around 35~45 C without a fan on.
I did turn off "processor performance boost mode" from the power options, since I don't do video/photo editing. Base clock speed is plenty.
Set the "processor performance increase threshold" to 85% , turn system cooling policy to passive to keep it as cool as it can and prevent the fan to turn on.

One thing kind of bothers me is the right click on the touchpad. Mine does not register when I press it, I hear the click not the right click option won't show up, can anyone share their touchpad experience? I can always use 2 finger touch to enable the right click option, since I do like this laptop not sure if I should to return it.

I did not read the fine print, but seeing as other people seemed to get the statement credit I went ahead and pulled the trigger. I then got the email from Amex ~12 hours later. I guess what I dont understand is why this is what makes this an MPP deal? I found this laptop through the site under the cyber deals section.

Has Dell come up with a battery conservation option like Lenovo has to charge the battery upto 60% or so and then run it directly plugged in so that battery charge cycles are not wasted if my primary use case is plugged in ?
