yes, dell has really long waiting times, i think if you live in metro cities, the time taken is very less, i got my lappy in ~10days...
Also, due to high demand these days, their might be the delay, and shortage of parts, that's why they had to import from malaysia...
See other sites to buy, and if possible, opt for COD..

Del takes approx 28-30 days to ship the Dell 17R. It is ok, trust me its worth the wait. So about the mSATA drive in the 17 R, It is a 32Gb Samsung device of which only 8Gb are being used by the Intel H77 chipset for the Intel smart Response technology (A lovely white paper on this tech is available on the Dell site).
So, technically their is some space available on the mSATA but its not enough for a full installation of windows. I am using this space for a fast cache. Moreover the mSATA is connected on to a SATA 2 interface (This needs to be corroborated by others) This is what Crystal DIsk info tells me.
New BIOS A03 is available for the 17R, addresses some issues about the Graphics card.

Hey ratul are you sure you are seeing increase in performance with new drivers? Im getting low fps in witcher 2 after installing the 12.8 drivers. Also can you please tell me your stable oc values for the new drivers and what all games you have tried after over clocking? Thanks.

On home screen right click and select 'Configure switchable graphics'.
Then select all your games as high performance. Browse to the game file if it does not appear there.

well i tried skyrim, huge improvement, 5-8fps..
GTA IV: 2-3fps
Batman Arkham city: 2-3fps
PES 2013 demo: no improvement
NFS Run: can't say, don't go above 30fps..
Crysis 2: Almost same (1-2fps increase).
Don't have witcher 2, so can't say about that, these are games i tried after 12.8, rest (like prototype) require less power so that's constant 60fps only..
Stable OC value same as previous:
Core: 675mhz
Memory: 1005mhz.
bro, that's because of enduro in AMD, 7730m won't kick in until needed, what fps are you getting in creed and mw3, i was able to play creed smoothly in highest settings, so if you can too, then 7730m is active..
And no utility will show 7730m (speccy, ccleaner, dxdiag), cause it's not active on the system by default, and you can't make 7730m default, i tried by uninstalling intel drivers, then windows aero was gone, and screen resolution was like 800x600...
7730m is just there when needed, nothing else, if you think it's not working, you can compare your game fps with the one on Notebookcheck.net, mostly you should get higher than that..

but how can it be possible that it kicks in for nfs mw but not for nfs hot pur.. n cod mw3 n creed (i cheaked from amd system moniter)
and when i assign them in "high performance" mode they automatically switch to "not assigned ". catalyst control is going the way it want
cant i disable enduro

try re-installing drivers from here..
i think there must be something wrong with your drivers, as mine remembers "high performance" setting once i assign it..
unfortunately, you can't disable enduro, the card is made for enduro, it can't kick in without it...
OP
rider
as Kratos
I'm using it and its fine in automatic switchability.

Shocking discovery about the dell 17 r. The network adapter is a 10/100Mbps only no giga bit interface. In linux it works with a gigabit realtech driver r8169 which beats me. The wifi driver is the Intel centrino 2230 using the iwlwifi kernel module. About the LAN interface it looks like dell has deliberately kept the speed down to 10/100Mbps despite the gigabit capability of the HM77 Intel chipset. Any ideal for this amazing business strategy?
