You posted it for $229 before. Not the "lowest price so far".

I suppose you're referring to this deal: https://slickdeals.net/f/17075347-dell-inspiron-15-3520-15-6-fhd-120hz-i3-1215u-8gb-ddr4-256gb-ssd-229-31?src=SiteSearchV2Algo
The price mentioned in that deal was with the 10% discount which SD no longer allows on Dell deals. If you consider 10% off in this deal as well, the price would be $234 (as mentioned in the description) which isn't really far off from $229. But yes, technically it's not the "lowest".

Hi Dr.Wajahat,

Afaik we did not ban that 10% discount code since it's a code for signing up and isn't related to any kind of referral. You're more than welcome to post a deal with it. If you have any further questions, feel free to send me a PM.

Cheers!

I think I wasn't clear enough which led to this misunderstanding. What I meant was that SD does not allow the price inclusive of the 10% discount to be mentioned in the title/deal price of Dell deals.

As long as the thread title indicates that the price includes the sign up discount, then it's okay to be posted Smilie

Thanks for the staff being helpful to OP. Really cleared up the misunderstanding. Just goes to show even the SD pros need help sometimes.

This is the lowest entry point for a 12th gen laptop (if you have the amex $50 offer) that allows

1. expansion of ram (I believe up to 64gb, I have 32gb on mine)
2. expansion of storage (both NVME and SATA)

i3-1215U might not sound like much, but it's faster than virtually all 11th gen laptop CPUs.

How's quality on this screen? The HP with similar specs was horrible. It was so washed out. I imagine this one would be just as bad. The Lenovo in this same price range had a better screen but Best Buy only likes to run that deal on time limited sales.

IMHO the screen is very good and downright impressive for such a low price. Bought this one and and Acer a while back and returned the Acer because the Acer's screen quality was lousy compared to this one.
Biggest downside of these is weak hinge attachments. Not sure how often it happens, how much it is related to rougher usage, or if has been remedied since but check out Youtube for DIY repair videos that also show how the problem occurs.

The display is overall great for the price. The colors are a little muted (compared to high-end displays like those on Macbook Pros) but still okay. The brightness isn't great (probably its weakest point), but on the other hand,120hz is very nice.

Thanks for this information. Is the ram upgradable to listed version DDR4, 2666 MT/s ?

Yes, you can install any DDR4 sodimm sticks, but the speed will be limited to 2666.
