Now the government needs it's share, don't they? Buy it with a college ID, or through a government officer's card. That should give you a 5% discount, effectively, it's a .25% discount on the price they show without VAT.

BTW to answer your earlier question, 10/100/1000 port > 10/100. And also both 15R SE and 17R have the same.
And no the laptops aren't being imported, only some parts are. Otherwise the CVD would be too high.
________EDIT______
^already getting 5% discount (corporate discount)

That's what I asked the representative, he said it would take time as it would have to be made and shipped from Malaysia

i think there is no gigabyte Ethernet on new dell insprion laptops
yes, but it won't make any difference unless you are setting up a large n/w, and your system being the server, 10/100/1000 just means the Gigabit Ethernet, i.e., max transfer rate on a full duplex network can touch 1000mbps on that line, tell me, how many of us have 100mbps internet connection..
, forget about 1000mbps...So just relax, it won't make any difference on day to day basis...
Test for geeks: Open Task Manager and while using your full bandwidth of your internet connection (downloading with IDM), see the networking tab and note the %age usage of your internet connection on your Ethernet Card.

Yes, it is compatible with linux OS. Linux OS supports manual switching which requires restart of X-Server to switch between graphics solutions. Read this
HD 7670M is better than GT 630M in gaming performance.

Can't say, some say that special editions are launched just for a month or so, some say that they are gonna stay for long in the market...
Better contact Dell for that, btw, till August, most of the companies would have launched their IB Proccy lappies, so hope for having loads of options by that time...
BTW,
my order status has currently changed to Manufacturing Build Complete.. Expecting it to arrive soon...
Hello Everyone 
Actually i was silently going through all the conversation happening here from past 2-3 days as a guest logger, and i just created this account to thank all of you for providing all the reviews and other information.
I was going around all over the internet to look for a suitable laptops for myself since past one week. I am more into media post processing, illustration and animation right now.. also i was once a dedicated gamer during my college day.. and i know i am going to become one of them again once i got this new system.
A week back, i had almost made my decision to go for Asus K55SV, as i had budget stretched upto 50k, but later it got
stretched up to 70k where my colleague told me that we should go for a XPS.
Then all of sudden i happened to stumble upon this forum 3 days ago, and went through this topic and also searched other reviews about 15R. And yesterday only i placed query for two of them on Dell's website.
And to inform you people, i am yet to recieve a call (which i'll probably get tomorrow as of after one working day). But i happened to call this Dell Exclusive store here in B'lore few moments back.. And guess what ! They have these models right there, and the guy also told me that he'll get customization done if required (i am obviously going for a back lit keyboard)
So even thou i have submitted the cart, i am visiting this store tommorrow, and feel the laptop.
- Also he told me that, they provide weekend offers here.. i.e. some free electronic goodies...
- After placing the order and payment, he said they can ship anywhere in India for free (I will be off to Surat next week, so i will get it delieverd there.)
- Moreover they are offering it on the same prices as on the website.
Only problem i will be facing is that, as i am going for 2 laptops.. i will be paying via cheque.. and will have to wait till mon eve or tue before it get cleared.. And so it will take a week to ten more days after that to get it delivered in Surat.
But anyway, i found this awesome forum to get all info from. I will visit the store probably by tomorrow noon.. and mostly probably, i will book my 15R's right over there and let you guys know if there's more regarding this or any other model by Dell.
Thank you everyone once again

I had a talk with one of the Dell representative. He says he has no knowledge of any such thing to happen but he says the prices might rise in the future.
