Good day all
I am in the market for a new Dell (Latitude/Pro) notebook. Muy current 5290 2-in-1 has been great the last 8 odd years, but it is time.
Recommendations please on where to look for good deals?
TIA

This one: https://www.nucleustech.co.za/product-page/dell-pro-14-ultra-5-235u-512gb-16gb-ram-fhd

Note however it is not the 235u chip or have Ethernet port. Already brought this to their attention, but not fixed yet I see.
Wonder how something like this would perform against the Macbook Air M3/M4, seeing that it does not have discrete GPU, I guess it will mostly be used for non graphic intensive stuff anyways. That dell seems expensive (R24K new) considering the specs, or I am just out of touch again what stuff cost lately.

I had to buy my son a new notebook last year, paid R17k for Dell inspiron, smaller CPU and only 16Gb ram. believe me, I was also shocked, but that's the going rate these days.

Using this for IT consulting work, so perfect for my needs

And considering you get NDB support on the Pro/Latitude, it is worth it for me
