Dell has the Inspiron 7425 2-in-1 14-inch convertible (Yoga-type) on sale for $587.99 - $49 for McAfee auto-renewal = $539.99. Unlike with most of their deals, the 12%
Capital One Spring coupon [capitalone.com] applies, bringing this to $474.31.
Instructions:- Retrieve the 12% Captial One Spring coupon
- Convert the coupon into a Dell coupon
- Configure the laptop with the following:
- "McAfee® LiveSafe™ 12-month subscription auto-renew" when configuring the laptop. This will deduct $49 from the total.
- Remember to cancel the subscription to avoid being charged the recurring $119 annual fee after the 1st year
Important: The code you get from Capital One is not the coupon code, you need to copy & paste that onto the linked Dell page to get the actual coupon code. Also, you do NOT have to have any account with Capital One to sign up for Spring.
I was able to stack this with two Amex offers ($120 off $599 and +1 MR points by adding the active pen to bring this over $600 including tax).
Specs:- AMD Ryzen 5 5625U with Zen 3 architecture, 6 cores, 12 threads
- 14-inch 16:10 (1920 x 1280) wide viewing angle (IPS-type) display, 250 nits
- 8GB 3200 MHz RAM installed in one SODIMM slot (leaving another slot free, recommend installing another 8GB module for dual-channel operation
- 512GB NVME SSD in m.2 slot
- Backlit keyboard
- Fingerprint reader
- MediaTek 802.11ax WiFi/Bluetooth (I recommend replacing with Intel AX200)
- 54 WHr battery - bigger than average, should be good for at least 7-8 hours of normal use
- 1080p front camera
- Pebble green (very pale green)
- Exterior chassis materials: aluminum
- Weight: 3.6 lbs
- Ports:
- SD card reader
- USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A

For $16 and about 10 minutes of work, I was able to add another 8GB of RAM, bringing it to 16GB. The pen direct from Dell was another $40. It has been a great little machine.

I might have to go with the higher model which comes to $646.79 before tax, $684.40 after tax (VA).
With the pen and CA tax, I got it to just $605.
You can also try paying for expedited shipping to ensure that the machine ships before July 25 and to get you to $599+
For the amex offer, it is based on how much gets charged to your credit card.
So it is the after tax total that needs to be at least $599.
Correct. Do you have the amex offer on your card?

Wireless:
MediaTek Wi-Fi 6 MT7921 2x2 and Bluetooth 5.2
Not something I usually pay attention to as the Intel/Realtek difference is minimal for average users. Can't say the same for MediaTek. Intermittent drops, wait 3 minutes after wake from sleep to get online. Upload speeds do not exceed 40mbps. My cellphone gets 200 from the same test.
You would find MediaTek chipset usually in low end tablets and phones. I don't know what Dell was thinking.
Or maybe I just got a dud?
Did you get it from Dell ?
Hmm didn't think of that. Cause besides the wifi, it's a great machine. Maybe I'll rebuy it. I understand it has discrete graphics chip?

No. It is an integrated Radeon chip that's part of the processor.
