A BIG NO !! You dont get windows, the camera is a paltry 0.3MP and the graphics is bad with only gt630m. At 50k the inspiron 14r and 15r special edition offers much much better.

Today visited the local market. They told me that they would have the laptop after 20 days.
I've almost decided to buy dell, but was in a fix because the 17R offers a hd+ display with GT650m. according to @ndroid the only drawback of dell 15R was the display, and 17R does it.

1) Should i wait for the reviews to come out or can i go for it?

2) The 17R base model comes with 1600*900 resolution. is it good enough for the movies or should i consider the full hd display?

The base 17R costs around 58k. any other way to get discounts from dell?

Keep in mind it that all 17" laptops comes resolution is 1600 X 900 which will be look like same as 14-15" with 1366x768, nothing great about that.
But GT 650M 2GB DDR5 is a steal in this price. :shock:
It will cost 5% less, if you can pay with the ID of central govt employee.

unlike some other suggestions I wouldn't like using an HP laptop. Having used DV4 series, it really heats up a lot. Another problem with HP is lowerbattery back up. Many people do not look into ASUS but ASUS is a good optin. Value for money and possibly the best battery back up!!!

It totally depends on your budget for new XPS 15, you should have at least 60k budget.

DV4 series is a 14" laptop series made of total plastic though it gets heat very much. The battery backup totally depends on the cycles of batttery you used. Hp provide a battery with 300 cycles of use. Though dv6 2011 models was having better battery backup than XPS 15, asus k-series. Asus says it has upto 3 hours only.
Asus is a good company, I have a motherboard of that in my desktop. But all and all the service network is not as big as hp, dell etc. Also those laptops are not having as much good LED display, no HD webcam as hp, dell providing. Asus don't provide damage protection like hp, dell is providing. Last but not the least Asus models are not come with inbulit windows 7 home premium 64bit for that you have to pay 6.7k more.
So, tell me how Asus is VFM now?
Tell me you budget and priorities and I'll help you by suggestion the best model.

My aunt has 2 year old core-i3 inspiron bought from US, and it is working fine.
And for warranty issues call dell india and talk about service of US laptops in india.

And its an awesome deal for you 1080p screen, core-i7 in $999 USD (55k INR) :mrgreen:

The 15R SE
i7+ 8gb+ 1tb+ all the other specs excluding backlit keyboard for rs 56k. how's this deal?
(But i may miss the backlit keyboard. ahhhhhhh again confused)

Please help

For 56k you can buy it from dell website too.
And you will get wireless mouse+ backpack for free.
And you can get some corporate or govt discount too.
And can add a backlit keyboard if you want for around 1k.
In fututure you can add a 4GB stick anytime you want.So that won't matter you.And also it will cost you not that much.
 
Now, i'll suggest new INspiron 15r series with 7730m.
