Seems the radeon on the 15r hasnt got drivers yet so blue screen of deaths seems to be common

14r with nvidia gt640m i guess would be better guessing drivers are available
3d mark 11 scores of 15r with radeon 7730m
Generic VGA video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3612QM Processor,Dell Inc. 0PXH02 score: P1695 3DMarks
=1695
gt640m=1731

I am looking at only i5 so that doesnt matter.
The new inspirons seems to be having frequent BSOD. And its scaring me to death
Maybe I should just buy a vaio
Vaio is good but don't expect to play new games like max payne 3 on it. And don't judge anything by a single comment by someone.
BSOD is the error of windows not the laptop.

the problem with 14R is that it has only one i7 variant, that 2 priced at 61k
Why you are sad, the price is totally worth it. See other brands like hp selling 7040tx model with worse graphic card at more price.
if you can carry 17" buy Inspiron 17R special edition powered by 3rd gen core i5 and GT 650M at the same price its totally VFM product.

both are good processor and it doesn't affect much in gaming though. Purchasing core-i7 will be future proof for 3-4 years. BSOD is the windows error no company is responsible for that error. Link
What is your budget?

The BSOD is common on both gt640m 14r and 7730m 15r. Both have not received drivers from nvidia and amd. They are bleeding edge gpu's .I guess it will take some time for them to arrive.
15r se is cheaper and makes more sense but my mind keeps jumping back to 14r se because of better gt640m and lower weight. I am still very comfortable on my 10" netbook

BSOD is also caused due hardware problems.

If I was in your place I buy this one Dell Inspiron 15R SE
It will cost you 52.5k included VAT + 4 GB Kingston RAM of 1.5k
Total 54k
Purchasing a 15.6" is mainstream and there is not much difference in pixel density both are almost 100 PPI. In the world of gaming bigger screen implies better.
Its very rare, generally because of RAM. I never faced in my dv6, thank god!
And It will be okay when graphic drivers will hit on the website.

jokes apart, I don't know what does ICC mean in dell website ask them on toll free number.
Between the two which one will you suggest ?
The gt640m benchmarks are out but the 7730m benchmarks are not. I am confused between the two. The nvidia does have a lot more technologies behind it like optimus. And its based on the Kepler series. Both cost almost the same but the 15r has a bigger screen. So which one will it be ?
ATI has implemented its Enduro technology in 7 Series Mobility Radeon chips.
And, as far as I know, Enduro is somehow better than Optimus as Enduro automatically lists all games present while Optimus only lists NVidia approved ones.
Oh yes!!! I have faced - that too because RAM was displaced slightly from its slot ... By the way, I am getting the Inspiron 15R 5520(The new Inspiron 15-Non Special Edition). This one is 43K and still having 7670 and Ivy Bridge and that too with a free Mouse and Microphone.

It's a good model with HD 7670M, that is better than GT 630M.
Good deal for your budget.. grab it!
