Unless you really need that touch screen, I'd wait for a deal from the Dell website. You can get this with 1215u (which is only slightly slower than 1235u) for $200 or less if you have an Amex offer and combine the signup discount / CB.

Can you please elaborate on how this works or link where you got this from?

Just search Dell Inspiron 3520 on this website and you'll get a bunch of past deals. An example is here: https://slickdeals.net/f/17567706-dell-inspiron-15-3520-15-6-fhd-120hz-ips-i3-1215u-8gb-ddr4-256gb-ssd-259-99?src=SiteSearchV2Algo

Many people also have Amex offers which take $50 off $250, etc., so when combined with a decent cashback it lowers the effective price below $200, when something like this comes around (which has been fairly often).

The Amex offer is a huge YMMV and many people never get that offer on any of their Amex cards.

Note that your RAM speed is limited to 2666mhz by the bios even though this CPU should be able to utilize 3200mhz RAM. Even if you install 3200mhz RAM, the bios will only allow 2666mhz speed. You cannot change anything in the bios to remove this limitation.

I wouldn't call it huge YMMV if you have Amex. It's true you don't get every one out there, but most people I've seen get at least one version of the offers (varying by the discount amount) when they come around. If most people never got the offer it wouldn't be so frequently mentioned here.

I've never seen such a large amount back on such a low spend for Dell on any of my Amex cards. Currently I have $105 back on $550 spend at Dell.

The size of the offer is definitely YMMV. I had $50 off $100 and $40 off $200 last year on my gold, and currently have $50 off $250. But I've never had larger spend offers for Dell.

AMEX Dell offers are definitely YMMV, but not hugely. We've got a lot of AMEX cards between us and it always seems like at least one card has got an AMEX Dell Offer. Also, AMEX Business Platinum gives you $200 every 6 months at Dell.

Does anyone know what the heat situation is with this laptop? Saw some online reviews that state the Inspiron 15 3520 variants heat up very quickly and the fans sound like rocket engines. There's only a narrow air intake vent at the bottom for cooling so maybe that causes overheating?
