gr8 to know that dell is giving such quality service....i have never owned a dell before, but had HP, Acer and Sony, for all of them i had to find out the service dealership and had to wait for at least 2 to 3 weeks to get back my laptop. I am now at peace:-D

A question for the experts on the matter :
As a gamer, is there any real downside to picking the 4GB i7 version of 15r SE over the 8GB one? As in, are there games out there whose performance will be hampered by not having the extra RAM(I have heard MP3 might be one of them)

yes on few games.
but you can buy a 4GB extra from outside which will be cheaper rather than ordering from Dell..

I'll say go for the 8GB RAM.

Guys, finally I got the lappy. The delay was because it was detained at the airport for wrong documentation by Dell. I had to run again to the sales tax office and was asked to pay 3k again. Finally I settled for Rs. 50 :p

Anyways, the battery indicator doesn't seem to light up in my lappy when plugged in. What should I do?

____EDIT____
My 3-D mark score is 9830, but strangely it says "9830 3DMarks with AMD Radeon HD 7750M(1x) and Intel Core i5-3210M Processor"??? Isn't it supposed to be HD7730?

Another question for people already using the SEs. Is the graphics switching system smooth? Any specific games,application for which it isnt working? And what is the latest, greatest driver that should be used for the 7730?

your question might be the answer for dan4u..
As i think that AMD's Enduro is not quite working well with NFS Run, the game sometimes starts to lag for 4-5 secs. in b/w anytime, and then smoothens up again, i think that during that lag, HD 4000 comes into play, slowing my experience..
The driver i am using is with 12.7beta catalyst..

Here are some images of my laptop

I have almost completed Alan wake. Played 12 hours straight, in episode 4 now. It runs at:
Avg: 16.800 - Min: 14 - Max: 22 fps at highest settings,
Avg: 19.850 - Min: 12 - Max: 25 fps at Medium settings and
Avg: 38.667 - Min: 11 - Max: 60 at Low settings.

Skyrim give:
Avg: 32.767 - Min: 23 - Max: 42 at Medium settings.

These results are with fraps in the background, and without the latest drivers. The fps count with the updated drivers will be out soon.

17R would be really heavy for everyday use. Earlier i used to think that 4Kgs is nothing but carrying 15R SE with a few notebooks in the bag is tiring enough :p

Ok guys, didn't get too much time today. So don't think I can benchmark stuffs, I'll still post a 3D mark score after the driver update on sunday. Nobody seems too bothered by the scores anyway, let me know if you want me to do some specific tests.
