Does it apply to all brands having 6 cell batteries? If it does then shouldnt all of them be showing such off values?
Help me choose between Dell Inspiron 15R SE vs Samsung 550p

Thanks for sharing your opinions, abhishekmaha and Rishi!
But well, I was overall impressed by the aesthetics as well as ergonomics of the Sammy, plus the features/price ratio!
Hehe, Macbooks are, well, out of league for the time being. Certainly they may be the Best solution for me, but currently not feasible! The resolution, etc of the Samsung NP550P is simply wonderful, but is more oriented towards (heavy) gamers. The 2GB NVIDIA GT 650M is beyond my universe of usability! After 3-4yrs, the total'd use of dedicated graphics will be in few hours! LOL! So I'm leaving it for those who'll make a better use of it!^Macbooks are probably your best bet...I don't like OSX so much...But I must agree that they have high screen quality...If not for support of games...But price will also rise high above 59k.......Samsung is cheap and good!!
You may find that 900p is good enough for all your multimedia needs...1080p is overkill==>too much to pay for too little additional quality..
Depends on your needs too-Programming, Video-Editing, Heavy Artillery(Maya or other 3D designing), General entertainment, etc...

Said correctly, Rishi! Can you suggest some model?
Spec to spec, the Samsung scores over the Dell, but you really need to decide why you are buying a laptop. If you are a hard-core gamer, then it makes sense to get the best display and the best graphics processor. But if your key activitie sinclude browsing and listening to music etc... none of these matter. The Blue-Ray is a definite plus on the Samsung. Another aspect that you have to keep in mind is that Windows 8 is getting released sometime later this year and how these systems work with the new OS is anyone's guess (It may not be an issue - for all you know)
It also makes a difference in price if you buy from Dell website. becuase they charge you extra for CVD and CST - which will not come in if you buy directly from Flipkart or a reseller. I was getting a corporate discount from the Dell website and my whole package came to Rs, 65k with 3 year warranty.
Would I have considered the Samsung if I had known about it earlier ? - maybe. To me what was important was that once I bought a laptop, I don't have to run around for support and that is a big deal while selecting a model. How does Samsung after-sales-support compare to Dell ? I don't know...

Dell has better ASS yes, but you also need to keep in mind that it costs 8k more. That is a lot of money.
And for those who aren't gamers, and according to you, whose main tasks are browsing and music. Shouldn't they still choose Samsung over Dell?
1. Higher resolution screen means a much better browsing experience.
2. The JBL speakers on this beast are the best ones I've ever heard on a laptop apart from the XPS.
Hardcore gamer or not, this is still the better laptop.
But yeah if someone is really skeptical about Samsung ASS, then they should go for the Inspiron.
It still is the second best laptop in the VFM range as of now.
And I don't know about warranty support yet, but the software updates from Samsung are insanely good. I've downloaded 300-400 MB worth of updates in the past 2 hours. And all of them are really, really good.
They really are turning it up in the notebook segment.

Get the Sammy. Believe me I am having an awesome time with it. I think some people received defective pieces
I dont have any throttling or high temp problems. Temps are always under 90 even under extreme gaming and sound is just amazing.

i have a samsung i5 version, so whats the problem here. I have not faced any throttling issues yet, anyone wants confirmation then PM me, i will post screenshots. come on, a member whose name is Girish sold off his Dell 15R SE just to get Samsung I7 version. believe me 900p does makes difference while watching movies, and check out sammy owners thread, few are defective pieces. but even Dan4U played MP3 at high settings without throttling at around 84C temps. don't fight. just make the facts clear to OP.
no one is fanboy, even i like Dell's 15R laptop. best VFM.
@OP i suggest you to PM owners of 15R SE and Sammy, and ask your doubts.

it may be just a few were defective so u can get this one.
even if u buy a dell or hp u might get a defective product they dont guarantee u that the first product will be good(eg. my friend bought a xps n he got a defective product in which the screen was always blue but dell certainly replaced it)and so will samsung u can even take a refund if u want.
i m also about to buy a laptop n samsung is still a option for me.
n to be on a safer side i5 will always produce less heat than a i7 in any condition.
n if u see the scene as a whole there are good reviews n bad reviews.
@har do u have i5 model or i7?

Are you talking about 900p the Sammy has? Dell 15R SE has FHD, i.e. 1080p.
Here is the i5 version.

Here is the i7 version.

True. I really think, samsung isn't vfm. You really won't get what you deserve, and for how long you deserve, only my opinion. But now, there isn't much difference in 15R SE and 550. Only difference as you may like to tell me now, is that Samsung has GT650M, but you would completely forget that even though 650, it still is DDR3. Not the real 650 performer.
