Please stop misleading people, on hardware front the only difference between the newer models and the original ones is that newer ones lack blue ray drive. S03 & S04 heat up like a frying pan similar to the original S01 & S02, only a design overhaul can fix the overheating and throttling issues in the np550 series but since the laptop has already been in the market for couple of months I dont see that happening.

hi guyz i'm planning to buy 15r turbo n settled for v540718in8 (8gb model)...
whereas i inquired to a regional distributor in my state and they gave quote as under:
v540717in8 (4gb model) - 60k (after bargain)
+ add 4gb tamkor ram ddr3 - free
So total cost 60k (inclusive of taxes & shipping) for this model with 8gb ram but variant is v540717in8
also they are offering some additional diwali offers.. some perk.. which i don't care...
is it advisable to go for this deal considering ram brand mentioned above and who knows they might even install used/refurbished ram in a new lappy.. but they are regional distributors for dell india...
Kindly reply guyz wid ur views...

i think u should not go for its risky about the refurbished ram n i never heard the company.
instead buy a 4gb transcend ram form flipkart n install it n buy the laptop online it will cost u less n better peace of mind

yup, i am facing. what is the problem with the system?
^ I guess it is a problem with the keyboard type or something. Its not like the key does not work. It works fine,but it waits for a 2nd keystroke to make the sign appear.
I have heard about this in spanish keyboards where you need to press a key twice to make a special character appear. Don't know why it is happening in these laptops with usa keyboard layout though.

I too was dacing the same problem a while ago. Its got something to do with the language settings in the control panel. Delete the current setting and set new ones.
Even the Dell CC wasn't able to solve the problem. So, no good calling them.

In Region and Language setting go to Keyboard and Languages-> Change Keyboard-> Add a new keyboard language and delete current one!!

no, i am not facing such a problem, the key works fine here..
if you can do with some tweaks here and there, then win8..
i installed start8, disabled hot corners, win7 start menu, and voila, now can't tell difference b/w 7 & 8 visually, and can have all benefits of 8, fast startup/shutdown time, better memory management, better battery management (getting 4 hrs acc to batterycare)..

thanks guys....gonna bargain with the sales representative first....but will need help with windows 8 when i get it.
Deletd english(India) and set to english(US).
Issue fixed. No problem with the key anymore
Okay so I installed my old games arkham asylum and dirt 2 to check gpu capabilities.
However, I am getting 25-30 fps in dirt 2 all maxed out and 45-60 fps in arkham asylum all maxed out. This seems a bit low for the 7730m. I am talking about dirt 2 here.
Is it using hd 4000??
I have set both games to "high performance" mode though.
