303.79 without Paypal/Discover
282.53 with Paypal paid with Discover (5%) and 2% cash back from your favorite cash back site link

Even cheaper if you use AMEX as others mentioned in thread.

FREE SHIPPING


11th Generation Intel® Core™ i3-1115G4 Processor (6MB Cache, up to 4.1 GHz)
Windows 10 Home (S mode) 64-bit, English
Intel® UHD Graphics with shared graphics memory
15.6-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) Anti-glare LED Backlight Non-Touch Narrow Border WVA Display
128GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive
4GB, 4Gx1, DDR4, 2666MHz
3-Cell Battery, 41WHr (Integrated)
802.11ac 1x1 WiFi and Bluetooth

There are other deals with the Ryzen 3 3250U. This CPU is much faster. The Ryzen is 14nm vs this is 10nm+. Integrated graphics is better on this too! If you later find you need more memory, adding another 4GB is less than $25 down the road. This laptop will be fine for your elementary, or middle school kid going back to school. Will play games just fine too.

It's similar item, except this is cheaper with this link, and potentially much cheaper with paypal/discover. it every aspect, even more if you don't use cash back, this is cheaper than the other deals.

Not a good practice to post a price that takes into account credit card offers. There are lots of such offers out there (e.g., 10% off Dell on Amex business cards), generally the price in a deal should be the price that applies to everyone, without requiring payment with a specific card. Lots of retailers accept PayPal, so should all of their deals be posted with 5% off this quarter?

This is complete garbage. From the processor, to the ram, to the SSD. This would be a complete waste of money. Can't install any software to the SSD due to the size, RAM is WAY too low. I don't think I would even give this to grandma to read email and pay bills.

Absolutely agree, the title should list the $303 price.

Also, anyone buying this will almost guaranteed have to buy an additional 4GB of RAM as Google Chrome will freeze on Windows 10 with only 4GB of RAM. While it is not that big a deal, putting the RAM in may be difficult for those who have never done it before.

You can get 10% back if you use the Amex offer for 10% back at Dell. I'm pretty sure more people have an Amex card than a Discover card.

OP, this is why you should not put the price with a specific card in the title.

Watching all the cheap laptops get dumped that won't support Windows 11… and agreed, this one will barely run anything at all

I already posted about why the price should not reflect the 5% Discover/PayPal rebate. However, those dumping on the laptop itself are off the mark. This laptop is an excellent buy for $300.

- i3-1115G4 is dual-core, but its single-core performance is excellent (matters more than multi-core performance for a lot of everyday tasks). Overall, this processor is slightly faster than 10th-gen Core i5: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/comp...3877vs3542. And it has way better graphics performance.

- 4GB RAM is easily upgraded - this has 2 SODIMM slots.

- 128GB SSD - again, easy/cheap upgrade. But a lot of users will be fine with 128GB, with cloud storage.

- Most importantly, this has a decent IPS screen, which is next to impossible to find at this price.

- Yes, this will run Windows 11 fine. 11th-gen processor and - while I don't have the laptop to confirm - I've not come across a Dell laptop in the past few years that doesn't have TPM 2.0.

Clearly there are corners cut to hit the price point - no USB-C, no backlit keyboard, all-plastic built. But find me a better new laptop for $300. (You can't.) Add 4GB RAM and this is a superb value for non-power users.

If you're on a strict budget wait till black Friday...last year I got 4600h/1650 laptop for 449. This deal is a joke.

With that logic, people should not post kohls deals requiring Kohls CC.

I'd argue that the cash back options should be included in the post, so people are aware of what card they should use.

That would be 50% additional cost for a deal that doesnt exist at the moment. Also the single threaded performance on the Intel is 20% faster than the 4600h. The AMD also runs much hotter at 45W instead of 28W on the intel, which means bigger battery (with the additioanl weight) or shorter runtime. You might not buy it, but it's more targeted for young kids needing a laptop just in time for school.

My 5 year old plays Roblox and minecraft on a 6 year old Inteli3 laptop with integrated graphics on windows 10 and 4GB ram just fine. This laptop should do even better.
