I talked to a dell technician , He told me recovery disc would do my job .. !!! ie just the OS backup ! !! is it true or what den ??yes, it has the option of either full backup (c: and system drive), or backing up individual files and folders, but for what you are asking, i think no software could do that, coz then, registry problems would arise...
So i would suggest you to uninstall all the software you don't need in backup (or format c: and install required drivers and dell utilities), and then take the backup of your c: and system drive, keep it somewhere safe and then install all the softwares, now you have the backup you were talking about..

yes, recovery discs contains the image of the system given to you by DELL, i.e., after recovering from the discs, your system would be in the same state as it was when you received the lappy, that means all the bloatwares, dell services and drivers would be installed..

For a reason, both these laptops have ULV(Ultra Low Voltage) processors with pathetic clockspeeds compared to normal processors, so while you'll pay for i5 performance you'll get something between i3 and i5 performance and the i3 version will perform worse than A8.

Check processor name, if its i3/i5xxxxM its ok, if its i3/i5xxxxU, stay away, these are targeted towards low power consuming ultrabooks, their performance per watt is unbeatable, but for a premium and also at the cost of performance per rupees.^Thx, I thought these were really good

hmm ..thx for info !
Thank you for letting me know.
I had ATI radeon version 9 driver version in my dell inspiron. I carried out a Windows Update. After Installing the updates and restarting the laptop I saw that the Ati driver version from 9 has reverted back to version 8 that comes preinstalled, the one that is there in the dell drivers and support website. Does windows update installed that ? Now I have removed catalyst and I am downloading the latest driver from AMD website.
The video playback is very pixelated and grainy. The colors don't look natural.

most probably yes, that why it's advisable to review the list of updates before updating, and remove the tick from updates not needed, in future if you see AMD or Intel GPU drivers in windows update, right click it and hide it from update list..

For better color increase the saturation level in Intel Graphics settings in CP.

Another question!
Few days back I bought dell inspiron 15r 5520,
i'm visually impaired and work wid a screen reader so i'm not able to figure out the default fn keys behavior.
though, the signs would've been there on the f1-f12 keys, but no use for me.
i got to know few by exploring such as, fn+f2 for enabling wifi, fn+f3 for disabling dell touchpad fn+f11 and f12 for adjusting volume.
guys could u please let me know the other remaining keys behavior?
i even tried to look for this on the dell community but nothing's there
ur kind help would be highly appreciated
Regards

After updating windows my system became a bit slow, the booting and the start up time increased ? I restored my laptop before windows update now its same as before. Do you guys update windows ? Did you experienced slowness after windows update ?
I check the update list there was Amd driver with the name:
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. - Graphics Adapter WDDM1.2 - AMD Radeon HD 7730M Download size: 106.7 MB

yes, i always update windows, especially if it's windows 8, as it's relatively new, and it's been a routine for M$ till now that none of their windows are good and stable until first SP is released, till then it's better to be updated, but the rumors are around that there would be no SP for windows 8 and future versions..
