While watching videos on my 15R SE (VLC or WMP), I am experiencing distortion after 4-5 minutes. The video keeps jumping and the sound also starts to break-up. Anyone else has the same experience ? Any suggestions on how to fix this issue without calling Dell Support ?

I meant after purchase...I was reading in some forum that you need to get some settings done while placing the order...

Why don't you check out the Dell Inspiron 17R SE - It was available in Flipkart for 63k (Now showing out of stock). Being a photographer, you would require a bigger - display... right?

Swaroop, I am still not able to understand what is the main reason for you to move to a latop. If your desktop is weak, why not upgrade it or get a new one ? The only reason most folks buy a laptop is because laptops are portable. Apart from that, I don't see any reason why you should get a...

Does anyone know if we can replace the HDD with an SSD ?

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...

Got my 15R SE (8GB) yesterday. Total damage was Rs. 65,300 after 3 years warranty and corporate discount...I am not much of a gamer and I bought this only for the processor, storage and RAM...so far so good. Does not get heated up at all during normal use (browsing etc...) Webcam is good...USB...

Just got off a chat with the Dell Sales Rep. They have phased out the 15z models and looks like the new XPS models are going to be exclusively ultrabook types Dell 15R SE with 3rd Generation i7-3612QM (8GB RAM) will cost you 62K and with corporate discount will be approximately 59K Dell...

If you had to choose between a laptop that had max RAM of 8GB (cheaper) vs another one with provision to upgrade to 16 GB (costlier), whould it make sense to shell out more money to get the 16GB one?

Q1: How does this compare with the HP dv6-6165tx? I know that SX521V scores ahead in terms of RAM and Price, but how about performance and overall build quality? How does ASUS laptops perform overall when compared to HP laptops. Q2: How is the webcam?

Thanks...I am still a bit confused on whether to get the 6121tx or the Dell XPS 15 which has similar features and more or less the same price point (with corporate discount) For me the webcam clarity is significant as I do a lot of online video chat. Plus I would need a system that will help...

I have been following this thread for a while now and I have a few questions 1. What is the feedback on the webcam? Does it match up to Mac levels in terms of clarity? 2. If you are not doing any gaming on this - mostly doing surfing, watching pictures and videos, does the laptop heat up...
