Any of the ones with the butterfly design are now under the extended warranty program. So if it breaks you can get it replaced for free. That said I know they're a major downside.
It's a 4 year old laptop but considering they've only just updated the design it's not exactly out of date. The current ones still use an i5.
I'm not saying that's the best deal on one you can find, I linked to that one because I bought my latest Macbook from that shop and I know they're not a scam. To buy an equivalent one new with 16gb ram and 500gb hdd it's £1,879.00.
Will the keyboard still be working though?
I've used Dells for work (not my choice) for the past fifteen years including a lot of travel and had no issues with them breaking despite plenty of bashing about.
For a four year old laptop with a dated processor it seems incredibly pricey.
