state your needs first, definitely 15R is bulkier as it's a 15.6" screen compared to 14" of 14R.. :p
according to your needs, we can clarify that if i7 or i5 would be sufficient for you..

Hi Ratul,

here's my expectation: I need a 14 or 15 inch inch light weight machine with 1TB HDD, 4 or 6GB RAM, 1GB Graphics with anti-glare display.
in terms of weight, i dont want more than 2.3kgs.

pls suggest me one.

i recently found that, the machine that i look for is available in Samsung or Sony. I need to check it out.


Best Regards

If I decide to buy Dell, where should I purchase it from?

(1) Dell website (dell.co.in) / Dell customer care
(2) compuindia website
(3) flipkart
(4) retail outlet

The rates given by Dell website /customer care are probably the highest, but I believe they are the only ones authorized to give students discount (provided I go for 3 yr warranty). Rates in compuindia are good, but they package stuff like anti virus (increases price) and have fewer customization options. Flipkart is really confusing when it comes to Dell, they have so many variants and even their rates are not on par with Dell company site. Only few retail outlets in Bangalore have Dell on display and their rates are not so attractive.

Would appreciate any advice you can give me. With a budget of 50K, I think I've settled on Dell 15R (Core i5, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, Radeon 7670M, 3 yrs warranty, 6% student discount).

Just received my new DELL INSPIRON 15R 7520

1)I wont be making a fresh install of OS, so please tell me what all bloatware is to removed?
2)Also is the default partition manager enough for making partitions?
3)Up to what size can C drive(one that contains the OS) be shrunk?

well, your requirements are fulfilled by 14r turbo, except the anti-glare display, though you can add a screen protector with anti-glare layer later.. (one of the members has bought it from laptoporiginals)..

congrats on your purchase... :doublethumb:

1. The ones you feel you don't need.. :p
2. It should be, though it is advisable to format once the windows to partition, but you are'nt going to do that, so try with default partition manager or easeus partition manager, though some of the members here had some bugs with easeus..
3. that depends, i have'nt tried it on my laptop, so try and experiment for it..

Please share the price and where you ordered it from. Also, is it the Core i5 or i7 model, with or without full hd display?

guys, this is the second time i am getting this error in the past week, laptop does'nt recognise the charger, and battery does'nt charge, pulling out battery or re-inserting charger don't work, but weird enough, the problem vanished automatically both the times in under 5mins, this time i was able to click the pic of the error..

Is the mobo failing or charger has gone loose???

I called Dell customer care today and they told me that Dell 15R with discrete graphics card (Radeon 7670M) is out of stock! It seems that graphics unit has reached its EOL and the model will be discontinued. Is Dell trying to pull a fast one on me by trying to sell out their other models?

Somebody stop me...
Is this compatible with dell inspiron 15r se?

is there any difference between 11-11-11 and 11-11-11-28 latency? this one shows 11-11-11.

well, that seems to perfectly fit my case..
as i got this error after 2 days of BIOS update, searched the internet, and found 3 possible culprits:
1. Either the pin of the charger is not properly seating to the jack, so either replace the charger or mobo..
2. Either any capacitor or part of mobo is broken, in this case replace mobo, but this might not be the case with me, as it's automatically fixed both times, if mobo had failed, then the problem must have been permanent.
3. Either a stupid BIOS update is conflicting with the charger settings, this was the case many people faced, after BIOS update, system would sometimes refuse to accept the charger, this probably seems to be my case..

So anybody who has updated to A09, do post that if you have faced this problem or not???
Also after BIOS update A09, my wifi sometimes disconnects and reconnects, but this happens rarely, hardly once for a second or two in 2-3days..
