Dell lists it for $349 https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/d...igurations

And since there is a configuration with 2 sticks of ram (8+4 oddly) I'm guessing there is an open slot.

Would this be a good laptop for casual internet and music and video editing?

Looks great but Order won't arrive until Dec 8… Woof! That's a dealbreaker for me. Supply chain delays are real. Going to hold out and hope to pick something up before then.

can this charge thru usb-c on this or do I have to use the dell proprietary adapter? would be nice to be able to get some GaN charger for more portability

That's with windows 10 home instead of 11 pro, though.

Intel CPUs have proprietary QuickSync which speeds up encoding and decoding so they punch above their weight class in video editing, but that can only do so much on a low end laptop. If youre talking about casual video editing like 1080p60 for casual use yeah it can do that. If youre talking about using it for professional work, 4k hdr 30+ minute videos, you'll need to spend around $600-$800 for a laptop.

Not broken, but the real deal at this price would be the i3-1125G4 with 4 cores / 8 threads. That CPU is really i5-level performance and flexibility with i3 branding; only the graphics is "old" but presumably at this price point you're not looking for anything "gaming" beyond Minecraft or Roblox.

The 1115G4 is the 2 core / 4 thread model that is functional, but more comparable to the Pentium and Celeron CPUs you see in Chromebooks. These lower horsepower CPUs are killer with Chrome OS, but demanding of more patience when operated with Windows. At this price point you might do better to shop for a refurb/off-lease laptop with a 4 core i-series CPU. In fact, I see that a refurb HP 15-dy2035tg 15.6" is available at Micro Center with that exact 1125G4 i3 I mentioned earlier.

Good luck!

You're right about the 1125G4 - it's a Core i5 in all but name, with just slightly weaker graphics. I got the 14-inch Inspiron 5000 (model 5410) with that processor a few weeks ago with 8GB RAM, one slot open; 256GB SSD, for $450. It's $500 right now, but worth the price premium given all the improvements (2x the cores, 2x the storage, backlit keyboard, aluminum construction, USB-C supporting PD and display, much bigger battery) over this 15-inch 3000 series. I'd keep my eyes out for the 5410 during Black Friday - we'll probably see it for $400.

I read the i3-1125g4 runs hot. True? Ryzens seem to run cooler---I never see Ryzens advertised here!

I think the pricing tiers you highlight are exactly my thresholds for the i3-1125G4 (and are valid for many Intel i-series CPU laptops). $500 is an acceptable price for these systems, but when they drop below $400 they are solid buys. The secret for the 1125G4 is that when that system goes below $400 plenty of value shoppers might inappropriately dismiss such a system as just another i3.

Good luck!

Although there is a case to be made that all of the latest generation of Intel CPUs run hot, in reality this can be a highly subjective measure and truly how hot a CPU runs is a function of the system around which it is designed and the performance targets set by the manufacturer. The i5-10210U in my Galaxy Chromebook runs "hot" by any measure (typically having a laptop exceed 95 degrees isn't considered very leg-safe) but Samsung also specifically opted for a passive design so this thing is dead-silent in operation.

Definitely take the heat management into consideration when comparing these low power systems, as the same CPU can produce significantly different performance results in systems with differing design philosophies (say, a thin and light vs. a service-ready enterprise laptop).

Good luck!

My concern with "running hot" is fan noise (should have stated I guess). Ryzens seem to be quiet because they run cooler (though could depend on manufacturer). So I guess my question is, will the i3-1125 run "louder"? HP would be the brand (consumer-grade). I imagine so (HP isn't very high quality)................

My 5410 does run rather hot. But that's true of all of Intel's chips right now - they are behind AMD in efficiency.

Good qualification! A platform like the Inspiron and Lattitude from Dell are rarely optimized for silent operation. At the same time, a review of this platform with a more powerful CPU in notebookcheck [notebookcheck.net] noted how quiet the system was... but how the performance of the CPU had been limited by how much Dell chose to restrict the power supplied to it (presumably in part to maintain that balance of heat and noise in a system that might still be optimized for a lesser CPU like the one in this offer).

Good luck!
Jon
