$299 Inspirons these days come with NVMe storage and 6 core Intel CPUs

Still the 1366x768 displays that they were using 10 years ago?

Just a quick glance at the dell website shows me an Inspiron 15 w/ 8GB RAM, and a 256GB nvme for $279. I'm sure the panel isn't great, but it is 1080p.

It is an i3, but still... this is $279! Do some bargain hunting and you can find some pretty decent machines for <$500 now.

That 'i3' runs circles around i7 laptop CPUs from just a couple of years ago

You do know what the "T" in "TCO" stands for right? Hint: it's not the price you paid for the hardware upfront.
