Good deal on a good computer. I got the i7 version of this same computer for a family member and use it myself a bit. In my case I had various promos that made getting the i7, with its 16GB RAM, a better value, but at this price the i5 is a better deal. The i7 performs at most 10% faster, not noticeable in real use.

Pros:
- Very good performance
- Very good screen, 16:10 QHD+, glossy but not as quite as glare-prone as some (looking at you, HP)
- Hinge is fairly stable, unlike the wobbly ones on some convertibles
- Light weight for 17-inch convertible (a hair under 5 lbs, compared to the 6+ that this computer replaced, an Inspiron 7773 convertible)
- Quite expandable/serviceable, 2 SODIMM slots
- Large battery, decent battery life for a 17-incher
- Thunderbolt, so supports DisplayPort and Power Delivery (it comes with a barrel-type 95W charger)
- No coil whine on my unit

Cons (or less positive aspects)
- Build quality is good but not great - for example there are some sharp edges at the bottom of the computer
- Keyboard feel is good (on the mushy side but I prefer that), BUT the silver keys have poor legibility, especially if you have the backlight on in anything other than a very dark room
- Numpad keys are narrower than standard, despite there being a ton of space on the keyboard deck
- Bottom lid is a little hard to pry open, be careful and start from the hinges
- Port selection is decent, not great for the size of computer
- Runs a little warmer and louder than the Inspiron 7773 (which had an 8th-gen quad-core processor), not too bad for an Intel laptop though
- MX350 (I believe only on the i7 model) is kind of pointless, it performs no better than the Xe graphics

Two other tips:
- If you open it up, check to see if the SSD is the 2230 form factor, like on mine. If so, you may be able to sell it on eBay at a significant premium and replace with a faster but cheaper 2280 drive.
- Those who buy this are likely to use as a desktop most of the time, in which case set charging thresholds in Dell's Power Manager (on Window Store if you do clean install). I set mine at 50-55. This greatly reduces battery wear vs keeping it at 100% most of the time.

Try Capital One Spring. They're doing the 12% Dell coupons again. Not sure if it will apply to this model but worth a try.
