Hi,

For sale is a Dell laptop (Dude you're getting a Dell!), this was purchased around 9 months ago and since has ran daily (approx 10 hours) running an external display, or I've used it for photo editing and some light video work (no its not going to do any intense video editing with its mobile CPU and iGpu). The battery is encased and so that explains the "bad bits" later.

I've noticed very recently if I ask it to do something demanding whilst on battery power it'll simply turn off. I believe its still on the original cell as this was an ex-commercial issued device, so no surprise there. It holds a full charge but cannot provide the current needed for anything intensive anymore, despite the BIOS stating the battery is in excellent health (I suspect that just relies on top end voltage that it can hold, as opposed to testing voltage under load). It runs perfectly whilst the charger is plugged in.

It'll be cleaned up with anti bacterial solution ahead of postage, and looks in worse condition than it is in pictures but YOLO.

Specs:

- Dell E7270

- Intel i7 6600U CPU

- 16gb Ram (was 8gb initially)

- M2 500gb SSD

- Intel 520 iGPU (I can play Borderlands 2 on this and did! As well as Diablo 3, albeit at humble graphics settings)

- I've opened it up and replaced the stock thermal gloop with some decent stuff to help maintain turbo boost and better cooling, precautionary step I take with all my computers

- WiFi, 5ghz, 2.4ghz

- Backlit keyboard with no damage to keys or lettering marks

- Healthy touch pad

- Before battery went potato I use to get 6-8 run time from this, amazing little thing.

- Carbon infused chassis on this range of Dell laptops, it's not a poverty spec machine.

- It came without a charger, I bought a brand new one off Amazon (Dell original, its included)

Bad bits:

- Wee crack on corner, see pics. I bought it in this condition. Doesn't affect performance but worth mentioning.

- Needs a battery replacement, £40 for OEM, or £65 for Dell original.

- Once HDD is 0'd and I reinstall the OS, a licence key will be needed, approx £10 if you look closely, or just run W10 without one, it just restricts you from changing superficial stuff like colour schemes. Alternatively I can shove Linux on it for you.

- Its not brand new, it'll have some superficial marks.

- With utmost respect, if you're not savvy with computers please avoid buying as I don't have the time to play tech support for software issues or answer if its going to be able to run your prawn mainframe, play Cyberpunk 2077 at max settings etc.

Reason for sale:

- I bought a replacement with a dedicated GPU for some extra gaming headroom/video editing processing power.

Price:

- £135 posted (you pay fees) or £135 + actual cost of replacement battery which I'll install FOC, test and show you it now can do whatever it needs to on charge. At this time, not interested in any RC trades as I'm thinning down the fleet due to lack of time and mess it makes.
