On our Dell Premier account at work I can order the AW3225QF for £850 inc. VAT. If they can sell it to businesses for that price there must be plenty of scope for discounts at the current £989.
Also if your company buys Dell hardware you can use the Dell Advantage Discounts for Employees...
Cloning the drive wouldn’t make any difference. I’ve got the same board and it’s rock solid with my 7800X3D, 4080FE and Corsair 6000 C36 Samsung RAM. Never had a single issue booting and I have fast startup etc enabled.
I’ve got a Tesla Model Y arriving tomorrow morning. Wanted a 3 but the finance deal was much better on the Y. This will be my third electric car since 2020. Won’t ever go back to ICE.
I order loads from Dell at work and generally most stuff arrives next day even if you order late afternoon.
Also with out of stock items they almost always arrive before the estimated date.
I’m going to wait 6-12 months before getting one, hopefully Dell will resolve most of the issues by then. The thermal issues should be relatively easy to fix with a firmware update if it’s just the fan curve.
The finance documents I have for the leasing show an £8.7k discount on the Y’s list price. The Y RWD does have a few advantages over the 3 as it has the premium sound system at least.
Did a test drive on the model 3 highland today, didn’t have any issues with the indicator buttons. Really liked it but the finance wasn’t as good as the Y so went with that instead.
Been quite a few users with faulty AW3225QF monitors, and some getting messages on the screen during use saying "system maintenance required due to abnormal thermal behaviour".
Manual for the AW3225QF is up on the Dell website now:
