Am I imagining things or did Dell increase the price of the xps 15 overnight?

EdwardTeach · 20 Oct 2016 at 20:17

As per the title - i am sure the 4k touchscreen model was £1.5k last night, and it is now £1.7k.

(I would be please to find out I am wrong!)

Prices are on the way up with the pound having weakened against the dollar.

EdwardTeach · 20 Oct 2016 at 20:45

I scanned for news stories, and Dell did say they would increase their prices 10% a while ago, but I am just trying to clarify if it literally happened overnight. It is just going to make me feel (really) bad for dilly dallying!

I am convinced that I showed my wife the top of the range one yesterday and it was ~1.5K maybe 1.55k

Yeah they have gone up for sure - I paid something like £1.7k for the top end XPS 15 and it's now just over £2k!!

I am really kicking myself. I thought about it overnight, decided what I wanted on my drive to work this morning, and then when I checked the prices it had jumped up.

£ has been flushed down the *******, everything good will be impacted.

So happy...

I got it direct from the Dell website with a discount they were advertising and also quidco (although that took like 3 months to come through but I got like £167 quid back so no complaints here!).

Not where, - when!

To be fair, if you can stomach the Alienware designs, their pricing is pretty sharp right now.

Meaker · 21 Oct 2016 at 05:26

They are still only a shadow of what they formally were sadly.

ShortWarning · 21 Oct 2016 at 10:02

I've been checking fairly regularly. I don't think they've gone up?

They're £100 off at the moment anyway with a code.

Call them, they seem to be pretty good at knocking the price down if you don't mind some haggling so you might be able to get pretty close to the old price.

Apologies haha it was mid June that I bought mine - didn't actually get it until just over two weeks later beginning of July!

It was circa £1880 odd before the quidco money back.

about a month ago they were as low as 1049 including cash back for the 256GB version. Currys had a bunch of offers too including 100 cashback plus up to 200 off for a trade in.
