take a look here:
https://www.dell.com/en-my/outlet/SystemsSt...20Tablets&pid=2 I brought 2 Inspirons for my kid studies (15", 11th gen i7, 8gb ram, 512gb), so far used for 6months, no issue, comes with 1 year warranty on hardware 1-1 exchange on site. Can purchase extended warranty. This post has been edited by sunny281199: Jul 11 2022, 09:49 AM |

QUOTE(sgpdsmss @ Jul 11 2022, 09:32 AM) current generation is 11th.for the price u are paying for anything below 6th, performance wise doest make any sense. just to give you some perseptive. 11th gen i3 is equally or better than 4th gen i7 in terms of performance and battery saving. you will also have less failing parts and easier to get those for newer gen This post has been edited by bananajoe: Jul 11 2022, 10:20 AM wshoh liked this post

I wouldn't buy a refurbished (rubbish) laptop in 2022. Now that supply chain issues have been resolved, you can pick up a NEW laptop that performs similar or vastly superior to refurbished "i7" laptop Not to mention there are many new technologies such as: 1. Fast Charging (get 80% battery charge that lasts 6-8 hours of usage) 2. Noise Cancellation (remove your mic background noise) 3. High Refresh screen (120hz) Vibrant colors LED screen (IPS Panel instead of old LCD) ![]() If you can spend the extra, this Dell i3 (12th generation) laptop performance will last you years. https://www.dell.com/en-my/shop/laptop-note...ni35201003plamy This post has been edited by jayjay: Jul 11 2022, 11:02 AM wkkm007 liked this post

Depending on what and how you use the laptop, when plugged in, my kids I5 2nd Gen (16gb, SSD) no difference with my I5 7gen and also 11gen for MS Office.

Purchase a 2nd hand tablet. That's what I did. Can consume media during lunch break using cellular. TV shows, movies and manga. If going for android can download flud and torrent.
Screens & battery life are normally better. Downside: cannot play PC games only iOS/android. |
