@sisley

but the 15R SE cannot be customised as such, can it?

p.s i have the same question as @girishpaiv. does buying from the store changes any warranty terms?

yes 15R SE cannt be customised but u can order 3 different configs/models of it
i.e V540451IN8,V540450IN8 and V540449IN8......also in some days in india u can customise it with FHD,lid color etc.

Regarding warranty terms they are same......as i said earlier u follow all the steps for order as online except it is done by dell staff as store(and cash option also available)and during that online order they will ask whether u want default 1 yr warranty or extend it to 2 or 3 yrs depending upon ur choice

I know this is the forum for the 14r/15r SE laptops, but I just wanted to ask a few questions not entirely related to dell:

1) Last year, I almost bought an HP DV6-6017tx (i7 2610, HD6770M 1GB ddr5). But I decided to skip a year. Now, I find that like last year, the US HP store offers lots of coupon-based discounts on their new DV6-7xxx series laptops, with improved IB processors, and graphics. They are offering the 630M (available in india), but more importantly, they also have the 650M (1GB and 2GB DDR5), at almost the same price as last year's DV6-6xxx series.

HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC | HP Official Store

Any idea when will the 650M models come to India?

2) I have seen the DV6-6017tx personally, and I have also seen Dell's inspiron series (Last year's models). Dell's build quality is (or atleast was) a bit too plasticky and shoddy. It seemed very fragile and toy-like (especially the snap-on lid). HP's metallic finish and island-style keyboard seemed a lot better. Back then, inspirons were 10-15K lesser than the HP, so HP was relatively premium stuff. Now, with the special editions costing almost 60K, and the non-special ones starting at 35-40K, I wanted to know is the build quality just as bad? Spending 60K would warrant something better, right? I am a laptop newbie (been living on desktops my entire life), so is 60K justified for an inspiron?

This is an african site, not official dell website, dell website states that it has Bluetooth v4.0..

probably yes, have'nt you read the earlier post in this forum, almost all the countries who launched 15R SE has the option to FHD, so it can be here too, but i don't expect to be before next month..

Absolutely a rubbish mistake in that site ...scroll down in that page n u can read "Bluetooth is built in"
Its Bluetooth 4.0 in 15R SE

There are also Asus K55VM-SX086D and Toshiba Satellite L850, both under 56K and even less. Asus has got NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M and Toshiba AMD ATI 7610M - both 2GB DDR3 dedicated. What you say guys?

Why you doing international research bro?
I see 2 year old inspiron model of USA doesn't have bluetooth function, it comes under customization in dell US, but in india every laptop has this function.

Both of them are overpriced, not good as dell inspiron 15r special edition in performance.

Dell has much better graphic card, having damage protection and comes with genuine 64bit windows.

Lowlat forums "tcchuin" Temperature Readings​

Inspiron 15R (7520) BTX Base
AMD Radeon HD 7730M DDR3 2GB
3rd Generation Intel Core i7-3612QM Processor (6MB cache, up to 3.1 GHz)
8GB 2 DIMM (4GB x2) DDR3 1600Mhz
screen is only 1366x768

BENCHMARK 1: 3DMark11
Default settings at 1280x768

*i45.tinypic.com/iv9u7n.jpg
*i48.tinypic.com/2ylpixf.jpg

In case u guys want full result, here the link to 3dmark site:
AMD Radeon HD 7750M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3612QM Processor,Dell Inc. 05TJ3M score: P1680 3DMarks

Based on this AMD Radeon HD 7730M(Score: P1680) performs less than NVIDIA Geforce GT 640M (Score: P1898 [Exclusively for NBR] NVIDIA Kepler GK107 and Intel Ivy Bridge BENCHMARKS revealed by yknyong1!)

But these 3rd generation processors performed better in temperature specs as i expected with almost negligible heating compared to xps and other earlier dell inspirons
Temp results r below:

[rider]

Nice score, BTW my HD 6770M scores 1350 in 3D Mark which is almost equal to GT 555M of alienware 14x.
