Inspiron 14 7000 2in1 Ryzen 7 4700U, 16Gb, 512SSD $1050 less discounts

Price in title my dude

A little bit off topic, but has anyone found a laptop like this in Canada?

HP Envy x360
15.6 in touchscreen
Ryzen 5 or 7
16 GB RAM
512 GB SSD

Costco has Ryzen 5 with 8 GB RAM for $899

Ugh all its missing is 16 GB RAM, and it would be perfect. And it'll be cheaper than this Dell model, and bigger screen, and looks better imo.
I know you can upgrade the RAM, but it ends up costing $100 to buy it yourself anyways. And you'd have to find a compatible part.

I have this exact laptop with 16 GM RAM actually but it was purchased in the US.

You can use Unidays as well.

Even inlcudes 1 year onsite service.
And there is an addition $50 off with coupon code $50off$1000PC, 2 - 2.5% cashback available.
I also have an Amex offer for 10% off, but I can't find this model through the offer link.

How weak is that screen ?

If it matters, GCR is 2.5%

Please do not forget that DELL customer service is horrible if considered existent.

220 nits and abysmal 2 hour battery according to questions on dell site

Literally had to return my laptop from the previous thread because of 3 weeks of changing communication. From sending me a replacement laptop that was to have been delivered 3 days ago, to me calling in and wondering where it is, to be told oh the factory is refusing to make any more and has made it end of life configuration. This price isn't even that good that I would say risk it. They easily have the WORST employees and service I have seen, and I have seen it all. I would say pay more and ensure there is some sort of retail presence for what you bought so you can deal with any issues. Costco is likely best option since you are getting 2 years guaranteed of repairs, replacements or returns by just going down to your local costco or calling them.

Just one look at @DellCares twitter and their replies will tell you all you need to know. And I spoke with literally 30+ employees all who said widely different things, lied, disconnected etc. You'll spend hours talking with someone and being told something will happen and then you'll go back a few days and see nothing happened, service request was closed and you have an all new employee who will say something completely different.

RFD'ers will get it, but they are so on my ****list now that I would rather deal with Tiger Direct, Bell Canada anyday of the week rather than Dell lol.

FYI, @Harold91 is referring to his (and maybe others) buyer's experience with the Dell Inspiron 5505 with Ryzen 4500U or 4700U that are the subject of the thread [Dell] Dell 15" 4700U / 4500U - DC RAM, USB-C DP 4K60 + 65W PD - $849/$849 ($764/$764 Uni) [$749/$749 Uni+Rak] [Credit blairs1]

I think the screen quality is important if you plan to use the laptop as a laptop, so probably wouldn't go for this.

That being said, from the 360 picture on the site, Dell has improved the design of this inspiron series quite a bit. I expected a much uglier thicker laptop.

4 cell battery but cant find the Whr on it.

OP's link is blocked hard on my uBlock'd Firefox browser. Can't get to it at all. All Dell links are like that now for the last week or so. Other links are ok.

"ad.doubleclick.net’s server IP address could not be found."

edit: PS.... also cannot get to it using a clean OEM copy of Vivaldi and Edge with no extra add in apps.
