You might consider buying from the Dell Outlet (a menu item on dell.com). These are refurb returns and when they are listed as "like new", they will be indistinguishable from brand new. If it doesn't fully meet your expectations, it's fully returnable within 30 days. Dell pays the shipping both ways! I've bought only from the Dell Outlet for many years and have never been disappointed. Look at my System One below. This is a fully loaded current model XPS 15 9510, Windows 11 Pro, 11th Gen i9, 32GB, 1TB, with a stunning OLED screen. The original price was $3,099. I paid $1,764 a month ago. That's almost half the original price for a gorgeous current model high-end laptop. And it comes with a new Dell Premium Warranty!No, I don't build my own computers, I'm not good at it. I'm much better at building Egyptian pyramids.
What's the general feeling in the group about 10th generation Intel Core? Those are the least expensive items in the present semi-annual sale at Dell. I think that at the next semi-annual sale, 11th generation Intel Core will be at the bottom of the price range. Also, W11 may then come pre-installed (instead of W10 with the free upgrade to W11) for these items. Buy or wait?
