    Dell outlet

    My Macbook screen is dying so need a new laptop and didn't want to fork out a fortune for another Mac.

    Has anyone bought anything from the Dell Outlet site, some pretty decent spec machines at a decent price with a 3 yr warranty.

    Thanks

      Dell? Crap, keep away from Lenovo as well. Take a look at the Asus range, they do good stuff (imho).

        I've got a Lenovo and a Dell at the moment and they are both brilliant.

        Lenovo is a bit lacking on ports but other than that is fine.

        It depends how much you are looking at spending but I'd suggest a Dell XPS 13... But your looking at apple money for that!

          My Lenovo TP T420s (bought direct from offal site) lasted 4 years before battery started to not charge properly (ie 40 mins before it needed charging again.)

          Bought TP T450s 18 months ago and can't complain. Have purchased the 9 cell battery and get around 7/8 hours if I'm not hammering the CPU. Reviews for the T460s were poor having sacrificed battery life for the slimline , ultrabook look.

          The T470s is out now but not checked any reviews so far. I like the ThinkPad build as it's a bit rugged, I'm such a clumsy fecker I drop everything.

          I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

            Dell outlet does have decent deals if you are careful over what you buy.

            The business latitude machines should last 3 years mine always have and the 2 I bought the twins last year are still in perfect nick
            merely at clientco for the entertainment

              I went ASUS until about 6 years ago. Since then, I've been HP and very happy with them. YMMV.

                And that’s my problem. My MBP is 7 years old.

                But I’ve just upgraded to High Sierra and it’s like I’ve just given it a large snort of coke and a fire up its jacksie.

                So I’ll be putting off a new purchase for a little while longer.

                  If you're happy with dell then the outlet site can have bargains. My current laptop is from there.

                    I'll second that. Dell XPS is a beautiful machine and well built. I've had mine for nearly 18 months and never had an issue.
