[Help Needed] Dell Inspiron 14 5490 @49K
Hi Dimers,
Need some suggestion on the following deal. I am getting Dell Inspiron 14 5490 at around 48.7K approximately from a friend (dell employee offer); Is it a good offer ?
Specs are i5-10210U, 8 GB, 512 NVMe SSD

All looks fine to me at decent price, any suggestions regarding the same ?
Also, there’s a Nvidia MX250 2 GB one deal @ 56.8K

Please suggest if it’s a good deal and which one to go, also any alternative if possible.

Looks expensive to me considering 11th gen models have started to appear in market.
Had the price been lucrative, you wouldn’t have sought suggestions.
These are regular prices at fk/amz with card offers.
I can’t suggest you what you should do. Personally, I wouldn’t buy any of the two at the prices mentioned.
Wait for some time. 11th Gen Intel are launching. They will have way better integrated graphics performance.
I would suggest checking this laptop out once in a dell store. You might not fully like the build quality
There’s already 10% CB offer (upto 8k) + Some affiliates used to offer 8/10% extra (Not sure if they’re still active)
Effective price will be 50k or less ..doesn’t mater if you get it yourself or via your dell employee friend
Also as @cocay mentioned.. this is regular price for this model
Bro wifi 6 is not there. Not worth it.
wifi 6 is not that imp unless you are dealing with atleast a gigabit or have multiple devices where you do a lot of file sharing
Plus wifi cards can be upgraded even on the dumbest laptop – https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10000156220822...._
Looks good, may be u would have got 2-3k more discount during offers
Reviews say silver Keyboard not good and heating
Thanks all for the info; as suggested, I think it’s not a steal deal as other competitive laptops in the range exist; also read a lot of reviews, mostly positive, except those silver keyboard, bit of heating issues etc… will have to look for some alternatives or maybe more discounted price 
Bro the most basic thing is what is your usage. If you are getting a steal deal for a gaming laptop at 50k but never going to use its graphics card & later find out carrying it often is breaking your back then you will start regretting your decision. Same case with if you get a steal deal for an ultrabook & then find out you really need a good dedicated graphics card &/or good ‘H’ version processor to do your tasks unless you want to wait for hours for tasks to finish.
