Search temperatures of new hp model.

 

[har]

@girishpaiv--The temperatures are really low. Your laptop will have a long life for sure !!

Compare temp of GT 650M of samsung with new dv6.

So Guys which is a better option? 14R or 15R for gaming. Also what if I buy a 4GB one and upgrade it to 8GB? Is it possible? As it will save few bucks

14R or 15R special editions both are almost same in gaming performance. Laptops with 15.6" screen are mainstream.
It's better to get 15R because it has more space that is 1 TB compare to 14R's 500GB. And yes you can upgrade simply by plugging 4GB DDR3 1600Mhz RAM in you laptop, no issues. It will cost you approx 1.5k.

is it really "low"?its near 80 no?
hmm ya but it cools down super fast so no trouble
Implies talking short breaks while gaming(say aftr each hour) will make lap run longer and safer

It depend whats your priority: portability or bigger screen?
though 640M is slightly better than 7730M there wont b much of a difference in gameplays ..also some games may run better in 7730M while some in 640M.
and ya there is more space (1TB) in 15R compared to 500GB in 14R
Both are good!its all your pick.
And ya 4gb to 8gb upgrade later is a pocket saver(saves us ~1.7k)!!I am gonna do it too.
its perfectly safe as long as you couple it with same brand 4GB 1600Mhz 1.5V DDR3 ram

 

[Funny]

Thanks for the reply guys. Its gonna be 15R then. Gotta ask my dad now. I hope he approves

It's not a very easy decision...

I wanted to play Batman Arkham Asylum with full PhysX and wanted to buy 14r se...then i realised that it probably won't matter either way...PhysX is only in limited games...there are only so many times you can keep replaying batman (or any other game) ...

1tb5400rpm is the same if not faster than 500gb7200rpm according to many sites...something about the platter width, etc...

the resolution doesn't change much...pixels per inch almost equal(111 and 100)

since everything else is almost the same, i would have gone with the 15r se most probably...because though 14 inch is good enough, 15 inch will seem larger and better...

(another crazy reason: they are giving targus 16"backpack...15.6 inch will fit better inside it)

Which is the new dv6?

15.6" is mainstream laptop 90% people buy this size. I saw many users who bought 14" and regretted.
5400rpm or 7200rpm doesn't make much difference. I shifted from 7200rpm and I hardly notice it. The thing that matters more is size that 15R SE has 1TB, twice!!
