I don't remember the 15R SE model has 7200RPM HDD. Don't they only come with 1TB 5400RPM HDD?

I believe the 2GB VRAM is dedicated and separate from the system RAM (SE comes with 8GB DDR3 RAM standard). 2GB allows GPU to load more large textures and lesser trips to your system. But most mid-end GPUs are not powerful enough to take advantage of that. The 15R SE comes with AMD Mobility Radeon HD 7730M which is pretty new at the moment.

sorry...missed that cause I'm aiming at 14r..

Hey, if anyone want to extend/renew their Inspiron warranty, just PM me ya.

Dropping by from Alienware Mothership

my question is there any limitation to upgrade HDD coz i'm planning to upgrade it to 1TB...can my laptop support it?...

Should be no limitation, as long the HDD is 9.5mm thick..

WTA my dell inspiron 14 laptop sometimes the screen will blink 1second black and return to normal. What is the problem?

got this office issued 14r and installed BF3 immediately. I kinda hate the chiclet keyboard tho. It sucks for touch typing as well as gaming

Anybody installed W8 on their Inspiron N4110?

The laptop's bugger GPU 6630M is the main hiccup.

My laptop was recently stolen, was thinking about getting the 14 R SE, But I cant decide if I want Windows 8 or not...

Just got mine today!

Inspiron 15 (3520) -- 15.6" screen
Intel Core i5
4GB Memory
500GB HD
Intel HD Graphics 4000

Anyone with 14/15R SE have problem with the USB ports? Mine (all 4) will sort of lose connectivity after a period of time using it, e.g. plugging in usb devices does not show up. Even mouse won't be working unless I log off and log on back.

I think it's driver problem but I am using latest driver in Windows 8 (was having the same problem in windows 7). This is freaking me out..

I have 14R SE and there are lots of issues. For me isn't the USB connectivity, but the Wifi/LAN connectivity. Their device adapters have gradually disappeared to nowhere. I suspect the internet hardware adapters have failed. Now have to resort to external WiFi adapters to work.

My S key has also broken.

This is my first Dell. I'll never buy a Dell again.

No more warranty ?

You can straight away call Dell (I am sure got warranty left) and ask them to inspect and fix on the spot... They will send technician the next working day. All manufacturers also got problem, you can't say you can get a perfect laptop with asus or acer, etc.

Yes still under warranty, will probably call after I get back from vacation.

So far only Dell give me so many problems in 2 months of purchasing it. Asus, Vaio, Acer... they all gave me problems only after a few years.

Hi, all sifu..

just recently reformat this notebook, and follow the internet information to install all the drivers, but finally found the USB cannot detect the devices and the bluetooth not function..

can please guide me what is the correct driver to download, attached the image shown which model that i'm having.

Thanks in advance.

Model is Dell Inspiron N311z

Hmm, try from the DVD that is given with the laptop? or use Dell's website?

Btw, my 14r overheats massively when I am playing Hitman Absolution on it, so much so that it shuts down by itself. I think it's due to me connecting to an external monitor and I usually closes the lid as I don't use the laptop monitor itself, causing heat to collect.

In box, Dell give me nothing..

The information in Dell support website not informative.

weird, Dell gave me a driver CD as well. Did you get it from a shop or direct from DELL?
