U processors are severely performance lacking underclocked, undervolted processors of original i3,i5,i7 mobile, they are mostly installed in ultrabook for economic performance and good battery life, so they lack the power of the corresponding normal mobile processor..
Gaming on 14" is not that bad, it all depends on person to person, i played games on my friend's 14" laptop, and when you are gaming, you just don't notice the difference b/w 14" and 15.6" (if game is good and immersive.. :p), though still i'd recommend the sweet spot 15.6"..

So I shouldn't go for U processor and should try to get 15r turbo with i5 processor.. if didn't get anything in stock should pursue for 14 inch

yup, try to get the 15r turbo, if not, then firstly try any 14" lappy in any of your nearest showroom, and if you feel comfortable with 14" screen, then go for it..
but on fb page of this thread, a 14r turbo user complained about overheating of lappy, so you might check that too before buying here: *www.facebook.com/groups/dellinspironturbo/184369531722527/ Check the comments..

yeah they are amazingly awesome i suggest all windows users with an inspiron 15r se\turbo (such as me:-D) use leshcat drivers (whql) 13.2 is the most stable imho followed by 13.4 just read the manual section on leshcats site

dell amd drivers suck i tried each of them and none of them worked (went undetected for 6 months :| till i saw my friends 7520 with leshcats drivers

also speedfan is a must with the dell option ticked in the settings:-D

Talked to dell executive today.. he said 15R is not available at Dell store and will be very rare in local stores too.. and he said it will be soon discontinued
And when I enquired about haswell he said that they will be launched within 2 months :(

IMHO, no... they don't make a very big difference, that guy might have got a bad piece or something, but heating is somewhat expected i suppose, a nvidia 6xxm series card in a 14" chassis, there would definitely be less airflow in there than a 15" lappy..

hey frnds, problem is a bit crazy !! my laptop's HDD got ****ed up and i was like wth ! Called dell to avail warranty and to my bad , the purchase being from Bestbuy.com USA , international warranty wasnt included. Somehow i managed to get one time exception , and got my hdd changed . Now few things i miss a lot !
First and foremost the Dell Logo at bootscreen which is now windows logo as dell's pre-requisited Windows is no more with me !
second thing is even prior to windows loading with dell logo and running circle of Windows below the Dell Logo , for a fraction of a second , Dell logo used to come , that press f2or f12 ( whatever) but tht logo was smaller , and now obsene to look at . but the one which i am seeing now , is like the one which u called Ancient !! REAL big DELL logo and it looks so Raw on such a gud lappy otherwise !
Any help u guys cud provide ?


If i cud make things easier to understand in hindi ! :p


pehli smasya yeh hai ki windows loading se pehle " Dell ka bootlogo aata tha " which was smaller (jahaan par hmein f12 or f2 press karne ke liye kaha jata hai, at that place bht hi VAhiaad :p badhaa sa dell logo aa gya hai , can i get the previous one back ? "

Doosri problem hai ,,, windows bootloader logo ki ... jahan pehle dell ke niche circle ghoomta tha loading ka whan abb windows ka logo aa gya hai ,,.. is there a way to bring back dell's ????


P.s. I have an Acronis Image of my system (if that cud be of any help ! )
i know its a silly thing i m asking for but thats what craziness is all about ! hope to find suitable help soon ! :)

well, never used Dell's windows installation, so don't know about the boot logo, but acronis image will restore the System reserved and C:, so most probably it should fix that problem, about the BIOS logo (f2 and f12 one), that can be fixed by installing the BIOS again (A10 now),,,

Has anyone tried the dual booting ubuntu and windows 7 using the wubi installer??
Does it work without any issues?

First, i had Win7Ultimate License with me when my lappy arrived, so using Dell's Win7HP wasn't even a choice, formatted the lappy in under an hour of getting my hands on it for the first time... :p After that Win8Pro license was very cheap last year (Rs.799 IIRC), so got that, and now running Win8Pro (Dell still ships Basic Win8 with lappy, so again no point of using that.. :p) Also customization is one criteria for me, i love my system to be clean, Dell ships with stupid crapwares, which are PITA to remove (McAfee.. :-x), so i prefer a clean installed windows for my use, so that i can have it my way from the scratch.. :D (Still it can't beat linux in that department.. :p)

Yeah it's fantastic there is an image file specifically for it:-

Ubuntu on Dell Inspiron 7520 | Ubuntu

And for wubi install:-

wubi - Can I install 12.04 inside Windows? - Ask Ubuntu

Download the image from link 1 and follow link 2 to install it within windows

Only thing is ensure u allow Ubuntu to auto update before anything else and DON'T upgrade Ubuntu version beyond 12.04 at the moment

Hope I helped!!

Ps Ubuntu doesn't support the enduro technology in 7520 at the moment it runs fine otherwise

I think the amd graphic card is on by default not the intel graphics

I use Ubuntu on my 7520 myself and it's great!!
