Was this xps 15 for 1.2K actually a deal?

[Cowgoesmoo2]

I bought this xps 15 on sale for 1200, when it was about 1650 USD.
One or two friends said it was amazing so I got it
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-XPS-1...DIA-GTX-1650-256GB-SSD-16GB-RAM-/223739923630
That's pretty much what I bought. 1200 for a 15 inch with GTX 1650, i79750H, 256GB SSD, and a FHD screen.

But I made the mistake on my own part and I thought I was buying the 4K variant of the XPS 15 7590, what turns out is that this was just a FHD variant. I had NO frigging idea you could produce a laptop with such a specific name and then leave out these differences and produce different variants.


Should I return this? I mean I'm having some buyer's remorse already, even if I kind of like the laptop. Is 1.2K actually not worth it? Should I be looking for a better deal?

The thing is what I was looking for was actually just a good 'deal'. I wanted a laptop dedicated to work so I'd play fewer games on it, but as you can tell what I bought was a very good all-purpose laptop because I thought my deal was so good. Maybe I should just settle for a cheaper ultrabook.

I swear I recently saw deals for the 4K dell XPS 15 for only 1300 or something. Did I kind of scam myself?

This is extremely common. Not every possible configuration is a different model name. Cars are the same way; you have to check every option of the one you're buying. Dell only did something wrong if the specs they listed for what you were buying were different than what you got.

$1650 is a lot for this config. There was an Alienware last week with a coupon code that got you an i7-9750H with a 1660 Ti for like $1100. There's a similar MSI with an i7-9750H and a 1660 Ti and 1080p (but 144 Hz) for $1200 at Newegg.

Reading your post, it's quite unclear if you paid $1650 or $1200. $1200 isn't the best deal, isn't the worst. $1650, I'd have buyer's remorse myself.

yeah it's actually a family of products, with different options to pick and choose from
