Can somebody help me out on the RAM thing??

None of them, one is 1333Mhz and other is 1066Mhz. You need 1666Mhz.
Check in some big computer shop.
Laptop RAM is different, it looks small in shape, like i said you can upgrade purchasing 4 GB RAM 1666 MHz of kingston or transend and put it by opening the bottom lid, its easy to do. But in your case ask some techy friend or a service guy to plug it properly.

Yes it is!

Sorry, I said 1666 Mhz, actually it is 1600 Mhz. :oops:

First of all my dv6 and 15R SE are not comparable models.
On one hand my dv6 is previous generation 2011 model on other hand inspiron 15R is a latest model with all new specs.
I don't recommend anyone my laptop now, coz it's officially discontinued by hp india. :|

Pros of hp: It was the best deal of that time, almost specs as 1.3lac macbook pro 15. GPU was best in its class. Least heating hp laptop ever thanks to hp coolsense software, beats audio makes the sound more rich, keyboard and touchpad are smooth and friendly, having better battery backup than XPS 15 (both 6cell models), damage warranty and super fast service.

Cons of hp: was having no 1080p option in core-i7 models, viewing angles are bad, no sub-woofer in-built, no-blu ray drive.

Overall I'm satisfied what i paid.

Pros of insprion: Awesome price tag, truly VFM right now. Better, cooler, faster and low power consuming IVB processors. New generation Radeon graphics with better DirectX 11 performance, faster RAM now 1600 Mhz.

Cons of inspiron: I don't know much.. better to ask sisley about this. Looks like my dv6 cousin, you know same shape and edges. As a brand it of dell so worried about product quality. Their is no full keyboard so you may face problem, also it is slightly heavier.

@sisley

just like that..the laptop is almost a refrigerator then!! :p

Yea! if we compare with old XPS 15 2nd gen processor with GT 540M its unbelievable. I saw posts in the forum who faced even 95-98*C processors while playing games.

How come no body here is talking about the 17" SE? I mean, isn't the 650M the chip they use in the Alienwares and all, and from what I saw online, it beats any laptop available for sub 65k in India. If the only use is gaming, wouldn't it make for a good buy?

It's only with core-i5. And not available for now, according to one of this forum user who taked dell india about this. The weight is 3.4kg which affects in portability. All'n all getting GT 650M in 65k is steal at this price tag.

Thanks a lot buddy :)
The reason I asked was because I saw the dv6 with Ivy bridge and the graphics was 2GB GDDR5 instead of GDDR3 of inspiron. I thought may be the Radeon 6770M is better than the inspiron one.
Found the laptop here.

Thanks again mate..

Just got off a chat with the Dell Sales Rep. They have phased out the 15z models and looks like the new XPS models are going to be exclusively ultrabook types

Dell 15R SE with 3rd Generation i7-3612QM (8GB RAM) will cost you 62K and with corporate discount will be approximately 59K

Dell 15R SE with 3rd Generation i7-3612QM (4GB RAM) will cost you 59K and with corporate discount will be approximately 56K

Damn I just had a chat with Dell guy n he said i could have got a (Central Govt Employee )Discount of 5% had i done it online and not via Exclusive Showroom!!:evil:

Why this happened to me!!!:cry::evil:

I asked Showroom guy so many times for any discount .but he said no discounts ..(which now online guy confirmed that online deal is different if its done via showroom!!)

And i just missed my 3k bcos of unawareness!!!:|

So anyone buying again ,pls don't go to showrooms for ordering..or check the discounts online first via a chat then go. u may find some cash staying back in ur pocket after purchase.

You should have checked early pages of this thread where I did mentioned about these discounts you can avail.

Ok, so will it work if my aunt is a Central Govt employee? I mean will they require some documents or something? I tried to chat with the dell guys, but all I ever get is a phone number to ring them up.
