-Spend "a little more" and get XYZ that costs 300 percent more and is in no way a comparable machine.
-Will this play Far Cry 17 at super high, 4K with 240 fps locked?
-Not seeing at $650 / "dead deal" followed up by "did you use the coupon." Argument ensues.
-Someone complaining about the "anemic power supply" because it will not power duel 3080's.
-Only two video outs, how the heck am I supposed to run my 10 monitor, 360 degree flight simulator setup?!?
-How much can I sell the GPU for. Darn, someone already beat me to it

Have I missed anything?

Edit: Some wonderful ones I missed however were kindly provided to me:
-Would this be a good computer for my grandma to surf the internet, check her email, and maybe some word processing...
-Is this good for my kid to play Roblox / Fortenite / Minecraft ?
-Can I upgrade the memory / storage ?
-You're missing the Gamers Nexus video link
-You missed gamers Nexus video and terrible thermals
-Does it support 4 gen nvme?. Ram slots?
This is false info. You certainly can rollback to windows 10 using a usb with the media creation tool. You just have to 'upgrade this pc' and it'll do it for you.

Does the GPU have any resale value? I don't need the GPU as I would be fine with using the onboard graphics. I really wish this still had Windows 10 though.

I bet it could be downgraded? Or am I wrong? Make a bootable windows 10 usb and make it happen.

I think the GTX 1660 is in pretty high demand and you could probably get $400 for it.
Is that really something you like bothering with though?

Seems decent and very similar to deals offered last year that went away for a while over the past half year. Now bring back the amex and CB deals and sold.

Actually just checked, and here is what was available EXACTLY one year ago for $599:

XPS 8940
360W Night Sky Bezel Chassis not including optical drive
Dell Wired Mouse BLK
Dell Wireless Card W1810/QCA9377 (1x1 AC,BT 4.1)
256GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive
8GB, 1x8GB, DDR4, 2666MHz
NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GTX 1660 SUPER(TM) 6GB GDDR6
Windows 10 Home (64bit) English
10th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10400 processor(6-Core, 12M Cache, 2.9GHz to 4.3GHz)

Seems dell is very cyclical or have exact same old stock from then now with win11 for $50 more?

Been waiting for this deal again but 2 issues

1) the processor has been downgraded from previous deals. It's a 10th gen i5 instead of the 11th gen. Also the title is wrong on this deal

2) theres no amex offer for $120 off $599 (expired Dec) which is frustrating but obv not guaranteed
