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.

Intel Iris Xe Graphics kills this for me. If you don't run MS-Windows, you may want to skip it too.
Hate touch screens. No thanks.
I like the 10K passmarks.
Love Dell laptop keyboards. I've been burned with bad keyboards by every other brand I've used except Dell and Lenovo. Lenovo was always too heavy.
1080p - nice.
14inch is a little larger than I'd like for travel. I prefer 13.3inch laptops that are sub-2 lbs. I see someone below posted a 13.3 inch Core i5 - I need to check that out! I've been without a usable laptop for a few years and travel is happening more and more. Sometimes a tablet isn't enough for my needs when traveling.
Several are available without touch screens.

I don't know how much the Iris Xe graphics affects most users. It'll run Windows fine. No experience with the Linux driver, but one looks to exist.

I don't understand laptops bigger than this, but 14" is reasonable enough, especially in a unit that's not an ultraportable and that has socketed RAM, etc.

Hi...

Looks like these i7/32/512 models went OOS as of 8am yesterday. But they were back in stock with 24 available when I looked around 2pm. But by 5PM or so they were OOS again. If you are interested, I suggest checking again later today. Not sure why, but they seem to release stock in spurts.

Someone asked about a Touch Screen Model. They do have a deal on that, and its 50% off instead of 45% (no idea why). Details and sample config:

Code:

WOW5320DEAL

Dell Lattitude 5320 Touch

Intel Core i5-1145G7 (4-Core, 2.60 GHz)
16 GB (2x 8GB)
512 GB (1x 512 GB SSD)
64-bit Windows 10 Professional
13.3" FHD Touch (1920 x 1080)
Cosmetic Grade
A

This one is $499 so it would be $250 + tax with FS. No i7 models left at the moment.

Happy Hunting!
$265 here. Thanks!

Some listed support is better than none. I won't be loading the OEM kernel nor 20.04. Dell has a good reputation for linux support, provided Xe graphics aren't involved. I think Xe graphics support is improving. Hope I won't have to deal with that.

And they don't suffer from the self-immolation behavior of the latest Intel generations!

Heads up, if yours came a little beat up (mine came with some minor paint nicks) and it was grade A refurbished. I contacted them asking for a better condition or a refund and they offered me a $50 partial refund if I decide to keep it.

I'll look mine over carefully. The Grade A machines have always been pristine for me, so I'll use that and your info to insist on more if it comes with lots of damage.

I have had one of these for work for 18 months, only issue I have is one corner of track pad does not press down correctly. Great sleek metal build and if I needed a laptop, I would be in on this deal, they got the 16GB model for $250.

Who do you contact? Mine came with bottom scratched up the top with a gray skin not aligned to the edge. I contacted through their website and sent the pictures, and was told that does not cosmetically grade the bottom of the units. I need to find another channel. Thanks.

Does this invert or fold flat ? The hinges look like it might ?
They usually label them 2-in-1 in that case. Though the same model may come in both the "laptop" flavor and 2-and-1. The site has a laptop sub-category for 2-in-1.

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.

Good luck to anyone willing to risk money on "refurbished" Dell products. New ones are already a gamble.

Dell's enterprise line, including Latitude, has been terrifically reliable in my experience. This is like my fourth refurb machine to buy, and they've all done really well both for me and for two of my kids in college. My machines for work have been Dell Latitude and Precision than models since at least 1999. The only failures I have experienced with them have been two RAM modules and one swollen battery.
