i have a xbox weird controller and its awesome for gaming ..best game pad ever ...i got it more than a yr back for ard 1.5k .....and about viewing angles ...i have a FHD display with anti glare the viewing angles are amazing ...the screen is visible from almost any angle .....i just compared my screen with my friends 15R-SE with true life....the difference is clearly visible .....FHD screen is awesome ...

What about font sizes in FHD while browsing, word processing etc? Are they too small to read from a distance?

I have wired Xbox 360 controller and it had the internal breaking of wire problem after about one year. But I got it fixed from a local shop for 60 bucks. Also Xbox controller is awesome you will not regret buying one! It looks great, it is comfortable, also most games show Xbox buttons even if you have other controller hence I feel it is well supported than other controllers.

Thanks for the advice will surely buy one tommorow... and nice to hear that it is repairable...

Hope i too will review abt this one But i am having Truelife one as FHD was not available at the stores and the great thing i never got a chance to seee the lappy, hmm i think it is going to 15day after buying... anyways i hope i can reach the home by 17th and want to blast in christmas

well, then white will do too, paying ~500bucks more for black is'nt worth it..

no compatibility issues are there with windows 8, you can go with either one of them, windows 8 lappies just are now using more secure BIOS mode, UEFI, making it difficult to install any other OS on your lappy except Windows 8.. Everything else is running gr8 on it..

Hi guys,

I am a bit confused between Samsung NP550P5C-S03IN (INR 59,995 on flipkart) and Dell Inspiron Turbo (INR 64,670) . I have chosen i7, 8gb ram, FHD config for dell.

I know this is discussed before. But at last plz answer me once since you all may have frens wid dat lappy. Is the heating issue still there ? Answer honestly, coz i will be keeping the lappy all time on my bed. so cooling pad doesn't matter.

Heating issue will be the only deal-breaker for me. Also, in the long - run heating reduces the life of lappy. Plz answer soon. I have to buy today.

For samsung heating issues, recent reviews claims no heating issues or throttling, better someone with s03 answer that..
As for Dell, there's no heating issue and i too use it on the bed only, except when gaming, when i put in on my laps..
And it's true that long-run heating reduces the component's life, these are high end multimedia laptops, not designed for long run heated gaming sessions..
If you care about heating, buy DELL only, as GT650m, whether in macbook pro, HP, samsung anywhere is known to reach >80-90c constantly, it's made to heat and perform..
And 7730m is not a bad card either..

well written answer ratul.
@ santoshk87
if u r not an extreme hardcore gamer and game occasionally (I mean ,not 5-6 hrs at a stretch everyday at full load) get sammy as it has good awesome speakers,better price,good design,and 2years warranty
otherwise turbo is the one to opt for.

But that one is wireless, i am choosing wired one more as i heard it is having some probz like battery charge, low response than wired, not comfortable while holding like that..

oops, did'nt saw that, thought it was wired..
so, best option is to get from Games Inc. or why don't you try finding it locally somewhere??
past month i inquired about it's price in nehru place (black), and it was 1.4k there, so you can find it cheaper than it's online counterparts...

@ratul: Between the Sony vaio S IPS FHD display and the Dell FHD display, which one do you think is better?

have'nt seen Dell FHD panel yet, but viewed some sony's past month, great color reproduction and very good brightness..
I can bet that Dell's FHD can't be better than that, as sony laptops mostly have the best displays out there...
