This is a good deal. I bought the touch screen version two weeks ago. It came promptly, and I liked it for what little I used it. I bought the grade A refurb and the laptop was definitely a bit beat (cosmetic only I thought), but I didn't care, it was a lot for cheap.

Unfortunately it kept crashing itself due to the thermal sensor reading "unsafely high temperatures", especially when plugged into the charger. Dell diagnostics ran fine, I contacted support, and after some effort learned I had a 100 day warranty on the refurb.

Currently waiting to hear a replacement has been sent my way as I still need the thing, I've already sent back my original unit. Whole process has delayed me getting a functional laptop by a few weeks already. Just fyi to anyone considering riding the Dell refurb train. Call "Dell Financial Services"/"Dell Refurbished" to initiate a claim. Live chat on their site was for new products and said mine was out of warranty.

*Update: Dell received my return, and apparently had no replacement units, so they just refunded me. Probably not going to bother rolling the dice again.

You should always check whether the corporate warranty was still active on it, as they are for many of these XX20 units. If so, you could have had onsite service to replace the motherboard or whatever else needed fixing.

These are generally good machines, and the are quite generous with their replacement policy. If you call and they don't have the same one in stock, if you ask nicely they often will give you a similar machine with as-good, or better specs.

Great deal. I got the 15" Latitude with 16gb of ram and 9th gen i7 for about $250. I bought a 16gb stick on prime day for $25. I run Docker containers, so I needed the extra memory. So it ended up being $275 with the 32bg of ram and 9th gen i7. So $25 more for an 11th gen i7 and a webcam is a great deal. I think the model I bought was built before the pandemic so like who used webcams back then. Haha. I got it for cheap, but still, it would have been nice to have a webcam because everyone does zoom now days.

Mine came in like new condition. It didn't have all the film that new laptops have, but whoever used it (I'm assuming it was a corporate lease) must have just quiet quit during the pandemic and not even taken it out of the laptop bag. Even the Intel stickers that they put on there that slowly wear with usage was pristine.

Well "i7" is a misnomer. I5's and Ryzen 5 's from the same time period (4 years ago) had 12 threads. This CPU has 8.

I did check this actually, the Dell service tag turned up as "warranty expired" and my only
option was to get a repair quote or purchase a new warranty (even though I had one thru Dell Refurbished). I did call, and explain the situation. Support rep was quick to issue an RMA, and when I asked about a replacement they said they had identical replacements in stock and would reserve one for me. I said equivalent or greater would be fine, they assured me they had equivalent. Once they received the return I was simply sent an email stating they had no replacements in stock and had issued a refund (no asking me if I'd be okay with another unit). Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I bought a 5511 last month from them and it arrived in nice shape. It was an i5/16gb/512ssd which was fine for my needs. Free upgrade to windows11. This 5511 was $260 shipped from the last deal.

I see that this is a Windows 10 machine. Does it meet the hardware requirements for upgrading to Win 11?

Don't they need the corporate IT team to make the request?

price is obviously great, but the specs listed are a little misleading. if you could get 32gb of memory, and an i7 in the machine for this price, it would be perfect for me. but i only see 16gb, and i5 options. didn't even try to see if the coupon code stacks on these machines...
