I have read Dell India doesn't replaces damaged speakers.

They are saying VLC damages the speakers and hence they can't replace the laptop's speakers even when complete cover warranty is purchased.

it's a well known fact my friend, dell, hp and many other vendors don't cover damaged speakers under VLC, it has been discussed for a long time here in TDF, and i think i read it last year on the HP 6165tx's thread, where the same problem was there with one of the member...
btw, i just think why people still use VLC, it can't play many files i have, i only use K-Lite Mega Codec Pack, and i still have'nt found any file it can't play..
if you still wanna use VLC, better not to exceed the 100% volume mark..

btw guys, new BIOS update A11 is available now, though i can't download it, shows some error file could not be downloaded:

It implies to apply to DELL Vostro 3560, then why it's showing in our lappy's driver download page???

Ratul, but it isn't fair. They don't mention such things in the T&C and then when the problem arises they say they can't repair it.

I have been using vlc for more than 3 years on my old PC and it hasn't caused any problem till today. If Dell India pulls such a lame excuse on me, I'm gonna dare them to make a media player better than VLC and take them to Consumer court.

yup, those bast**ds just make lame excuses when these problem arise, howcome a normal user be aware of such things if they don't make it on their T&C, but it's not only dell, there are many more, and everyone of those just don't have this problem on their T&C.. :(

MY purpose is GAMING...and ma budjet around 60k.(good they have gt 650m ddr5 )


my hurdles to choose from the above include

1)Does an i5 and i7 result in a considerable difference in game play if not now then for the next 2 years ??

2)if not then what will be i missing if i choose i5 over i7?

3)multi tasking?plz define it with reference to i5 n i7?and does the background processes runnning in win 7 (i heard about 100) be hindered due to i5?

4)cons of 1600*900 screen vs full hd in gaming?

5)does adding an ssd increase any thing other than boot time.?

6)planning to add an ssd and 4 gb ram additionally can you tell me how much it cost additional and does the warrenty get void if i add or does delll add and give on request?

1) May be or may be not. Actually the answer is pretty much subjective. It depends on games which you'll be playing. Games will take time to be optimised to use multiple cores to full. i5 should suffice for more than enjoyable experience.

2) Hardcore computing tasks, encoding, de/compression.

3) Not at all. Background processes has nothing got to do with CPU, but not only CPU. Main thing is RAM. 4GB should suffice.

4) 1080p requires more powerful GPU. Maxing eye candies at 1080p can suck most of the GPUs out there.

5) Loading of programs installed on SSD. (read ultra low seek time)

6) 4GB RAM = ~1300 (Corsair) 128GB SSD = ~6-9k (M4/Vertex 4/Samsung 830). Warranty is not void. Better to do it by self (very easy).

7) "Hopefully" yes.

8) Lamington road ;)

Hi,guys want lappy for GAMING which one ?

1)Dell Inspiron 15R turbo with FHD screen and
2)Dell Inspiron 17R turbo with i5 processor ?
3)Samsung NP550P5C-S02IN

There will be any difference in performance of game with DDR3 or GDDR5 ?

And i5 is good enough for High end future GAMING at least for 3 years (at medium) ?

For gaming, the 17r ofcourse. And yes, Gddr5 > DDR3 obviously, but I can't vouch for how the 650m on the 17r performs as I've read that it's not performing to the full capabilities of the ddr5 card.

i5 is good enough for the next 1-2 years, or so you can hope. All depends on how newer softwares/games start utilising more cores.

I have the 17R + i5 ... So I can vouch that its gaming capabilities are good. Am able to MAX OUT MOST recent GAMES at high setting. Yes the laptop is a bit on the hotter side.
i5 ... am not sure,how future proof it really is. No one can surely say. My view is that it would be good for gaming for at least 2 yrs :D

I donno bout Samsung... but try to avoid ATI Radeon if U can.

17R is the best choice in ~60k range for gaming, if portability ain't an issue for the user...
i5 can handle current games pretty easily, but you can't call it futureproof, may be in next 2yrs, most of the games will be optimized for quad-core proccies, as now developers are focussing on using CPU for the physics in the game more efficiently...
GDDR5 650m is good enough to handle games for next 2 yrs, and yes ATI has some serious issues, they are taking much longer time to fix that "Enduro" S#!t, it's still not mature enough.. :(

how is this one Samsung NP550P5C-S02IN

you look quite confused dude in selecting b/w these two lappies, it's about a month since you are asking, and still you have a doubt??? :p
better select what you think now is right for you, you must have seen enough of pros and cons for both samsung and dell, go on, have some guts, and choose what suits you the best now..

Select one from these three !
i7 will be able handle future gaming 3 years ?
