Better to be patient and wait until July 9. They might removed backlit keyboard option due to shortage.

No, select your laptop model and click on customization there you will find backlit keyboard and other options.

Hello.
Could do with some help choosing a laptop.
I basically need it for day to day use with moderate gaming. Mostly FIFA and MW3. Would still like to go for one that is future proof. Looking at around 3-4 years with the same. Budget ~ 50k.
I had two options in mind. The 15R SE basic version. Or the HP DV6-7011TX. Here.
They're mostly similar, so, could do with some assistance.

Okay, so this post got lost due to a delay in moderation. I'm going to give it another go and hope there is not another flurry of posts by the time it goes up.

Cheers.

See pratyush, I'm not bothering you but the laptop that you bought is one of the disaster gadget ever, my cousin had one with AMD processor. Sorry for all that you have suffered that much from that crap. Anything can happen to any electronic device, you tablet PC was 4 years old and not under warranty.
The thing is now hp is not selling any tablet PC, they discontinued after negative feedbacks.
Nowadays hp laptops have no heating issues, they developed a cooling technology called coolsense which keep the laptop remain under 80*C in intense gaming. Also the servicing and maintenance is of the best in the market, best that I ever seen.. they provide quick onsite servicing and accidental covers and all, if anything happen to your laptop they will replace with no charges. Also the customer care is awesome so quick.. they help, call back and do what best they can.
So, please don't misunderstand new buyers who are looking to purchase a new laptop. One user get afraid by your signature, thats what happen to you is bad. You should change it HP tablet PC suxx, not the whole hp.

Actually Display started flickering in 2nd Year after purchase and on normal usage GPU crosses 100 *C
O.K i will change My Signature as u said...
BTW It was also the fault of nVidia!!Mainly nVidia--(I Guess)

My laptop maximum reached to 86*C once when coolsense was not at coolest mode.

XPS 15 (2011 model) with nvidia GT 540M reaches 98*C in gaming.

Leave your past, now tell what is your budget and main reason to buy a laptop?

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a laptop around 50k (almost exactly) and the Dell Inspiron 14r and 15r special edition basic models are just what I need...An i5 processor is enough for my needs(mostly gaming, occasionally studying with ebooks, etc..)
As far as I can see:
15r:
Pros- larger screen, cheaper(a little, it matters to me), possibly better gpu
Cons - 1366x768 screen(flimsy according to wikipedia, see "Laptop Computers" and find 1366x768 in the page), no numeric keypad
14r:
Pros- nvidia gpu(i want it for PhysX, but i can compromise if 7730 goes overwhelmingly to Class 1 of notebookcheck ratings), less bulky(i'm typing this on a 14" and I like the size for the games it can play)
Cons- lesser hdd,

Everything else's the same...i could have done without the windows 7 home to save costs, but there's no option...I'm going to install windows 7 ultimate anyway so it's a waste..

Could anybody please give me any advice? Also, can those of you who have already ordered it please give some details about the sound, screen problems etc.?

Thanks,

hp is very reliable american brand, older than apple and dell. It has better in rank in comparison to dell in laptopmag.com 2012 ranking. If a gaming freak hp is the best option GT 650M is an awesome class 1 gpu. And those adobe editing are of no means unless you learn how to use in courses. IMO that hp model is more future proof than dell's 15SE.
