Some Amex cards have a $40 Dell bonus offer making this cost $290.
Add some cashback from one of the cashback sites for a few more dollars off.
Also, get Dell 10% off promo code for $33 less when you sign up for the Dell newsletter/emails, but the code comes some hours to a day later by email.
So, the actual price for this can be around $255-$260 + tax.
So, one has some room to add memory, a larger drive, etc., later

This particular model has a known issue: cannot support external monitor output (through the only option hdmi) more than 1080p. I suspect it is intentional, dell said it is due to motherboard limitation. if you plan to connect to 4k monitor, you are out of luck.
You can hack it by downgrade the graphic driver to version 30.0.101.1298. which is available at the Dell support site for this model, choosing graphic card driver previous versions. you need first run the installation file, during the installation, the laptop will actually automatically update your graphic driver to 31.xxxx, the original one, after that, you need do a driver roll back, then the old version will stay. and you can get 4k hdmi output, but the refresh rate will be 30hz, that is really due to the hardware limitation. It's not an easy hack for sure.

You may want to confirm the USB C port. I believe the color on sale does not come with a USB C port. I bought the Ci3 version for $280 a week back on a similar deal (stacked Amex $40off/$250, 10%off CB site+$50 GC from last year's Dell headphone deal). It took 5 mins to add in an extra $17 8G RAM stick from Amazon.

There is Inspiron 3520 @ MicroCenter with 512 GB NVME and Core i5-1155G7 CPU for $300.

https://www.microcenter.com/produ...rbon-black

i5-1155G7 is a little slower than i5-1235U but probably not even noticeable in every day use.

If you go to the deal and select the 16gb of RAM, then reselect the 8gb of RAM. The price will go from $330 to $300. But apparently it's switching the i5 to i3 which is sneaky of Dell.

Thanks, I corrected it. That's Dell for you. Sneaky they are.
