QUOTE(ZM Fong @ Oct 19 2018, 01:01 PM) Yeah sounds very fishy to me. Hopefully it's the right model and it doesn't have any damage What about your personal opinion if you got to choose between two and if the deal is real? Which one the most value for money in a long run? If you don't mind the 7th gen i7, extra weight and low sRGB display. Also has potential bad stock paste issue I don't really have specific requirement for laptop, as I don't really do gaming much in recent years, as long it's fast and no lag, should be good for me. My last laptop was Asus Zenbook 3 Deluxe come with i7 7th gen, 16gb ram and 512gb ssd, and there are occasional lag and get hot pretty easily too. |

It really depends on luck and locationAnd is their 500nits qhd hdr screen better than the 4k screen on xps13? I'm stuck between the 2 You mean which model with HDR? UHD panel in XPS 13 has really slow response times. Excellent overall colour quality though. |
