Good deal. It does not have USB-C though if anyone is looking for it.

Appears to be the 3520 model, which may have the 2.5" SATA HD / SSD caddy and cable for storage expansion.

Don't usually see 120Hz panels at price points this low. I think as far as making the user experience feel smoother and snappier, it's underrated compared to, say, a processor that's 20% faster.

Every new laptop should have C regardless of configuration. This is the standard now. Stupid Dell.

I bought this model on November 7, 2023 for $246.95. It came to $274.27 with tax and a CA fee. The cover came loose a couple of months after starting to use it in January. The brass screw anchors holding the left hinge to the cover broke free. No drops. Getting service was excellent. The service agents asked for a few photos by email. Then they set up a tech to come to my house the next day. The tech arrived in the agreed upon time slot and took about an hour to disassemble the parts as needed, replace the broken pieces and reassemble the laptop. He was professional, knowledgeable and quick. YMMV.

Yes, its super confusing, however if you look at the url and scroll down to the ports section, there is no USB C for this model. You will find that others have faced similar problem in the comments section of the page (at Dell) as well.

I have an HP Envy from 2016 that had USB-C.
