Yes, ATI Radeon HD 6970m is better than GTX 460.

You can take a look at the benchmark list of mobile GPU here:

crossfire? u kaya lah!

Dude, you need to recognize there are 2 HD6970m...
one is cross fire and the other one not cross fire, mine is not a cross fire :\
If it were a cross fire, I would had mentioned it in my signature, too bad it's not.

hahahaha.. sometimes no need mentioned also can de.. depend i thought u using crossfire.. arrived show me the temp ya.. thanks buat some review let other comment.. other guy grab 460 w/o ram & hdd.. urs come with it? hdd & ram what brand?

Not too sure what's the brand of HDD and RAM. Won't know until I receive it.

My laptop model will be the same as Keenxlimit's except mine comes with an ATI Radeon 6970m while his comes with a GTX 485m.

bro.. i'm back from ban! is ok we can talk here.. this thread x jalan at all.. like acer thread let me discuss till like my own dell thread

uh, anyone planning to buy a laptop with a view to replace the hdd with ssd much later on should avoid the new inspiron. i just found out that the hard disk is not directly accessible like other laptops where we just take out two screws and then simply pull the hard disk out. for this laptop the hard disk reside within the laptop construction, meaning you have disassemble it to take out the hard disk.....

i got this plan but ssd to mahal.. scare void warranty bang..

ya lorr... but i think people got my point, which is about difficulty in accessing the hard disk for this note book... what to do, now in my hand already, simply use la.. hahaha....

so u disassembled it? how the result? clean ur gpu fan as well when u naked ur laptop.. u using N5010 or N5110?

no, no.. i haven't done anything to my N5110... haha... don't dare to open up the casing, scared later break clips here and there...lol .. so far the only thing i've done is open up the memory cover only lol...

ur temp ok ma? my temp show in hwmonitor pro 1.17 & 1.11 is around 127.5-128 max! but hwinfo32 show 65 only..

not much New Inspiron 15R, N5110 user here? any comment on it?

i'm a user of the new inspiron 15R N5110. so far ok la, but i found that it starts heating up on graphic intensive application like 3d games. other than that it is perfect for my needs (i need to buy the usb-to-rs232 converter though, for work purpose).

if you think 15.6" is too large, you can opt for the 14" line up, but they can only go as far as core i5 though.

oh yes, ngkhanmein, i found this video that can be a reference on how to disassemble an inspiron laptop. the video shows different model but i think they have the same built.

my temp getting worst.. if my usage raised even u just playing texas poker.. the max temp will get 127.5 - 128 deg but just last 1 sec only..

Can any of you guys tell us if 15R have bad temperature design? Last thing i want is overheat. Also is 15R same as rest difficult to access HDD? I don't know if the HDD ventilation is good or not, normally what's the min/median/max temp you get on your HDD?

for hdd temp i get 28 the max i get 53 fluctual max but rarely.. mostly i get hdd temp won't exceed 50 while playing games. depend what hdd they offered. mine is seagate momentus.. some is western digital.. some is samsung.. (since seagate gonna buy samsung) actually 15R N5110 heat management is quite good.. so as N5010.. u not need worried.. i just wanna be perfect only.. cons is the built on down part is plastic + the fan noise very irritating
pros is price is reasonable with good spec + samsung led screen + warranty.. don't have major problem.. i not sure N5110 come with nvidia card.. my ati card currently no problem.. the design not that bad.. looks fine.. hdd ventilation is normal like other lappy.. seriously 2010-2011 laptop don't care what brand the heat issue problem is less.. i notice acer will slightly get higher temp due to the tuned the clock.. dell did the under clock like sony.. other brand too (i'm not pretty sure) so just grab which laptop u like + prefer with ur current budget.. good luck amigo~

Thanks for the input, 15R now comes with nvidia 525M 1GB, it's around same price as Asus A53SV & N53SV but they come with nvidia 540m & 500 & 640GB HDD instead.

The 15R 500GB ver comes with 7500rpm HDD. Was thinking about N53SV til i hear some hibernation & keyboard complains, but now i hear 15R fan is loud & some saying temp can be quite high. Why can't they make laptops perform like they were with focus on reliability & stability instead?

Is the fan always on or depend on the temp? What kind of bearing does it use as fan replacement is really a big challenge & expensive. And usually it's the 1st few components to break down.

7200rpm? the fan depend cpu usage.. usage high then the fan start work.. around 2-3K rpm.. if play games long hrs 4-5k rpm! can go 90 deg if play ultra high setting.. depend what games.. i tried nba2k11 enable all option excluded AA off..

just curious the fan sound, is it annoying or just like normal fan sound. Does it have different pitch or strange noise every now & then?
