Dell 17r Turbo for Rs 47290 :\ good or bad ?

Nerevarine

Incarnate
ikr seller warranty is the only problem. But if there is something wrong with motherboard or any hardware , i can still goto dell outlet and repair my laptop with money right ? btw my experience is nothing happens in the first year
it costed 8k to repair a lappy mobo of mine.. (dell)
Are you willing to take that risk ?

Seller warranty upto 10-12 k is fine (PHONES).. but 48k..God save you

the price was so tempting that i didn't think of warranty :\ but if you see the sellers feedback, one guy named dickygaba has already recieved 17r and his feedback is positive.


EDIT

Yup I got it today only. Laptop is awesome :D those courier guys tested my patience. It looks like a new one to me, but I am not sure. Is there any way to find out the manufactured date ? And how do I make recovery of windows ?

Edit

can someone answer following questions

1. The laptop came with one big C: .How do I make partitions?
2. Can I install ssd in this laptop ? if yes then will it give my noticeable performance ? also how much gb of ssd is required ?
3. How do I check if my laptop has mSATA cache drive or not?

I think you can find the manufacturer date from the carton box (left or ight side corner). Is it green or brown color carton?

COngos!!!

You can use mini tool partition wizard for partitions.
Yeah you can. you'll need to remove optical drive.
Dunno. Why don't you ask this in official dell thread
 
@ashishpateldotin : For partioning just enter hard disk in search in charm's bar(sidebar), go to settings. There will be a option for Create & format hard disk partitions..

BTW congrats for your purchase......Really a great buy

What about heat and quality of display? Is it anti glare display?

It heats up a little while playing games. The display is awesome,its anti glare but i guess full hd is better than HD+ . Everything is good like sound,backlight,build quality but i am not happy with battery life and hard disk. I am thinking of adding ssd.

i think there is an option to add ssd ? i am not sure
