What does the r stand for? I asked Dell support and they said the "r" could be refurbished, as in E2414H refurbished.

While I can't tell you what the r stands for the two units I bought were not refurbished. They were manufactured in Aug 2013 according to the box.

I am not 100 % sure, but I think the hard drive gets cleaned up and they may even put a new hard drive in. I would write to the person who is selling a refurbished computer and ask him. He will be more accurate than me.

MO There is nothing wrong with computer works great! the one thing I don't like is it was a dirty machine they could clean it up a bit. make sure you ask for a power cord and I think I world get a refurbished one. think about it ?

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking. Try what Ronald said, and then if that doesn't work try contacting a Dell Support Representative!

Hi -- I'm happy to say I haven't had to put in a warranty call, but I do see that several people have commented that Dell is refusing support if it's bought from Amazon. If that's the case it sounds like the start of a class action to me. Nothing in the description says that it is not covered by the standard manufacturer's warranty. But I wonder if the three year warranty is an inducement that Dell offers to get customers to buy directly from them?

Mine is also 5537. I dont see any difference in specs when I go to Dell website and input 5537. Let us know if you find out why they are showing two different model numbers.

I would definitely call Dell sales support to get an answer to your question.

Same thing happened to me. I just bought mine from Amazon and received it yesterday. If fits into my husbands DELL though.I have no answer.

I was wondering about that as well, but I purchased it anyway and it was a mistake. I had a lot of issues with this computer I only had it for 6 months. I ended up purchasing another one but a Dell which was a much better buy.

I had this exact same question and called ASUS. They said the product themselves are exactly the same on the inside. The "U" stands for universal (e.g. can be sold by Amazon). While the "R" stands for re-seller. (e.g. meaning it can be sold though stores like Best Buy)

You should contact Amazon. Dell didn't sell the product they manufactured it in this case.

I bought the one direct from Dell. It works find. Pricey but does just fine. I called Dell to find the right one.

why is this model no longer for sale except refurbished ones. what replaced this model? is this older versus say the 1650f/1650r. don't know what the letters mean.

If mine was refurbished, it was not advertised. Plus, it wasn't obvious. Works like new and I've had it for two years almost.

Sorry, but I just don't know. Maybe you could google that question or even call Dell and ask them :-D

Hey, I bought mine about 2 months ago and got a defective screen. (It showed white scrolling lines which sounds similar to one of the other posts) It performed great while it worked, but the HD screen going out is kind of a biggie. At least they have an awesome warranty (including both way shipping) The damn RMA repair service takes 14-16 business days plus time spent in shipping I'm looking at almost a month w/o the computer. If given the choice I would probably buy it again, because any computer risks issues like this but not all the companies have as nice return policies.

As far as I know, any Dell product bought new from (in may case, Amazon) has their standard warranty. Make sure you fill out, on line or pony express, their registration and/or warranty cards. It has been over ten years since I had a problem and had to call.
