Thanks Bro .. Irony : Saw DELL Inspiron 17R TURBO SE getting listed on ebay for 51K with 1080p screen :-x
Happens all the time after any purchase..

No kidding about the keyboard.. My typing speed has gone from 65 to 40
Has anyone tried dual boot with linux on this computer ..

no worries bro, now you have purchased this, be happy with it.. :D
and typing speed will improve, it takes some practice in absence of numpad, but after a month or two, it could be back to 60 again, believe me, now even when i am working on my desktop, my hands automatically reaches the numbers above rather than on numpad.. :p

Yeah the keyboard is nice and soft once u get used to it and it's very rough and tough despite feeling loose,btw I tried Linux on it thru wubi and it was great once I did auto update from Ubuntu software centre though my gpu and fan issues were still there but otherwise it's very stable and the touchpad etc works like a charm infact even better than windows

congrats, welcome to the club... :doublethumb:
To benchmark the performance, use PCMark..
To benchmark the GPU, use 3DMark 11..
To have a note of temps, use HWMonitor, BatteryCare or HWInfo64.. :)

easeus partition master, but beware if you are resizing the OS partition, many have encountered errors doing so and were unable to boot, though it never failed me.. :p, for rest of the work, it'd be the best...

AFAIK, 14r and 15r turbo have same camera and battery, so the camera is HD, i.e., 720p pics, about 1MP, so it's decent in photography, though it's not the best in this range, but it works fine as a webcam..
Battery takes about 3-4hrs to full charge..

Is buying 15r turbo with i5 or simply 15r 5521 with 8730m now worth knowing I don't need a good battery backup so no point in spending more on haswell and wait for it?

I'm not asking you to buy but just sharing what I saw .. It was a pretty slick deal.. Price of 17R with dell (compuindia) is 62K and upwards..

I know that mate.. am just giving you the idea of how much I will be spending as I can get it for a low price on eBay so am just telling i won't be buying it from there

Will buy l it locally so probably will get it 3 k less than the Flipkart price (when they were in stock)

if you can wait for haswell, then i'd suggest you to wait for just not only increased battery backup, but to have an up-to-date product... :p
and if you can't wait, go for 15R turbo, 15r models IIRC have those underpowered U series proccies.. :?

Can't wait for haswell..even if I could it won't fit in my budget according to the price launched overseas..

What exactly U stands for? In how much performance it vary with the 15r turbo processor ? Because am not sure if i5 variant of 15r.turbo is available and i7 variant cost 52k not in my budget

And 14r turbo comes with 2gb 640m so wanna ask how is gaming on 14 inch screen. Till now I have only played games on 15.6 inch in which I don't have any problem so would 14 inch be sufficient?

U processors are severely performance lacking underclocked, undervolted processors of original i3,i5,i7 mobile, they are mostly installed in ultrabook for economic performance and good battery life, so they lack the power of the corresponding normal mobile processor..
Gaming on 14" is not that bad, it all depends on person to person, i played games on my friend's 14" laptop, and when you are gaming, you just don't notice the difference b/w 14" and 15.6" (if game is good and immersive.. :p), though still i'd recommend the sweet spot 15.6"..
