37 more score, almost negligible! almost a tie in benchmark performance, let see who gets better fps in gaming?

why is the name of forum is whirlpool? Is there any link of washing machine here?

do the dell exclusive stores sell laptops at the same price as given in the website?

No, generally they sell expensive and chances of getting cheap battery and all.
Buying from dell website is much secured and better.

i don't think we would feel any difference while gaming..both the cards are expected to deliver almost equally..

Thats my man..

Hello? Notebookcheck clearly positions 7730 same as 640M and benchmarks don't tell the real story. Real world tests are the one which matter.

Thats 100% ryte..

1366*768 in a 15.6" is crap
Its better on 14.1"

And you get better graphics card+2.36 kg is pretty light.
I definitely recommend 14" for college as in my case !!

No, 15.6 inch with 768p is not a crap..

Notebookscheck hasnt benchmarked the 7730m.
If you look at the ranking, gt640m stands at the top of midtier card with 7730m at second place. Hence gt640m>7730m
The difference is negligible for sure !!
But gt640m scores 1000 more than 7730m in 3DMARK06.
And I prefer nvidia to ATI any day.

No, most middle quality nvidias are dd3, and gddr5 makes a huge difference.. so, i will prefer the new ati 7730 any frikking time..

 

[jajbir]

When they are going to launch new xps 15 ?
N which graphic cards are expected in xps 15 ? Any idea !!

 

[har]

Any idea why the 14 se is priced higher than the 15r se ??
Are nvidia cards costlier ??

 

[akshit_gupta93]

guys will i5-3210M be enough to handle games like skyrim nd gta 4? will it bottleneck the gpu? or should i go for i7-3612QM? is 6k worth it? i plan to do gaming and programming only on the laptop.

LOL, there is nothing like nvidia comes costlier and radeon comes cheaper. Your mentality among radeon graphics are bad, they even comes with apple macbook pro 15 of 1.3lac.
Dell always price laptop like this, remember last year XPS 14 was expensive but less performer than XPS 15.

u could have bought the 55.9k variant with 4GB RAM and added another 4GB RAM separately(they cost around 1250)..the specs would then remain the same but would have cost you some 1700-1800 bucks less..

guys will i5-3210M be enough to handle games like skyrim nd gta 4? will it bottleneck the gpu? or should i go for i7-3612QM? is 6k worth it? i plan to do gaming and programming only on the laptop.

according to my friend @rider,
"both are good processor and it doesn't affect much in gaming though. Purchasing core-i7 will be future proof for 3-4 years."

Here is the post

Well, as far as i have played games, On my frnds macbook with 6490m with i7 2.2ghz
And mine i5 2.4ghz (Both 2nd gen, 4gb ram) ..
I see a bit of difference, when playing max payne 3 and Bf3, mine actually, stucks while playing, u see that TUCK/Tick happening while playing gfames..
We both have same gpu but, on his i7 i see a bit better performance in MP3 and Bf3.

Sheesh I never told that nvidia is costlier. It was a QUESTION!!

I asked if there is any trend of nvidia cards being more expensive !! Thats all. No problem with mentality OK

BTW Apple may even sell old P3 at 2 lakh and get away with it. No need to quote Apple for everything

 

[Theodre]

I too just chatted with a dell executive! They say the offer on 14R and 15R will be there for some time. But not confirming on whether the offer will be dragged to august or not!!

Why does Dell charge 7000 rs for extended 2 year warranty while sony charges only 2500 rs ??
Or am I missing something ??

According to me, sonys service is nt that good.
Also, they make enough excuses to not repair ur things...
