hello guys..i am confused between inspiron 15r 1366 res version and full hd 1080p version..my main concern is whether i will be able to read text in such small display with full hd..i havent seen a 15.6 full hd display before and i have heard about the small text problems..obviously 7730m cant handle games at 1080 so that leaves full hd for browsing, desktop and movies..also if i reduce the resolution to 1366 from 1080 while playing games, will it look bad?..my friend said that if u reduce resolution on full hd display to 1366 than it looks bad as compared to native 1366 res screen..i dont want to regret after buying..so is it really worth the extra 4k for 1080p ?? please help..

Yes its worth. Get it.

Re: Suggest among these

Can the GPU be disabled to reach battery life of 4-5 hrs?
also pick one among these with multitasking as criteria

HP 4540s ProBook (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 500GB/ DOS) vs HP Pavilion G6-2010AX Laptop (APU Quad Core A8/ 6GB/ 1TB/ DOS/ 1.5GB Graph) vs Samsung NP355V5C-S03IN Laptop (APU Quad Core A8/ 6GB/ 750GB/ Win7 HP/ 1GB Graph) vs Samsung NP300E5X-A01IN Laptop (3rd G

under light load most laptops with GPU will give 4hr battery life. GPU can be disabled but still can't be turned off completely.

if you want to try newly released games, you'll need a discrete GPU but even Intel HD4000 can easily handle games like FIFA & CS GO.

guys, please tell if buying additional warranty during purchase from dell worth it? if it works for 1 year, it means there aren't any manufacturing defects, any chance they would fail after 1 year?

^^ you may never know. All products are not 100% same. Getting it is just extra security. If the extra money is not a problem, go for it :)

you never know when your hard drive crashes or the fan stops working or the touchpad fails or the display shows random lines. so if you can better to invest but yeah it is true that the cost of repairing will be less (in most case) than cost of additional warranty.

Is it advisable to go for Sony's extended warranty @ Rs 2490 in spite of their lots of terms and conditions. I think they covered almost every part, to not to include under warranty. And for the remaining parts, the manufacturer provides warranty.

This warranty is limited as set out herein and does not cover, inter alia, any consumable items (such as batteries) supplied with the Product; any accessory products which is not contained in the Product (such as mouse, AC adaptor, port replicator and external speaker); damage or loss to any software programs, data, or removable storage media; or damage due to

  • acts of God, accident, misuse, abuse, negligence, commercial use or modifications of Product;
  • Improper operation or maintenance of the Product;
  • connection to improper voltage supply; or
  • attempted repair by any party other than a Sony authorized personal computer service facility
  • dead pixels in LCD panel

you mean this? Samsung Series 5 NP550P5C-S02IN 3rd Gen Ci7/8GB/1TB/2GB Graphics/Win 7 HP: Flipkart.com

Seeing the specifications and price I will say go for it. Although Flipkart is showing it as permanently discontinued.

sony would be great as i love its design but if you like samsung and can get a good colour ud rather go for NP350V5C-SO2IN/3IN/4IN WHICH costs 49500 at a samsung store and has a higher class of graphic with 2gb , 1 tb and an awesome display. Go for samsung if u dont care much for design also it has 2yr warranty.

The Vaio model is very costly against its config. Sony's 2012 refresh is freakingly costly.

It is NOT!!! i though sony was costly too but it is not ......samsung np350v5c so1in is costing 40k in comparison to Sve15 39k
the diff is sam has 2nd gen i3 wid 750gb wid 7670m and sony has 3rd gen 500gb wid 7650m so not much diff there also sony looks like a 50k lappy
and sam looks like a 30k one!!! also sony has win8.
thanks for your input anyways.

Well there much much better options available at that price. If you deny, you're a blind fanboy.

guy,thanks to u all, i just bought sammy s03in aftr months of deliberation :D (wondering without tdf wer would i go for info about lappies in india), loved sammy from the first sight,
after my first boot i could see a lot of preinstalled crapware,some has suggested me to do a clean install..is it worth it??or just uninstalling unwanted apps would do?? i could see that 1gb of ram is being utilised mostly bcz of this crapware i guess.. so is a clean install worth.
P.S,dunno how to go for a clean install without a cd........
