Gaming on FHD resolution will decrease FPS, but you can always lower the resolution.. the 7730M should be able to handle most, if not all games smoothly at HD+ resolution

is it just me? when i checked my order status - it shows me that they cannot verify my submitted data. When i checked yesterday it was ok.

Anyone has the same problem? Dell service down?

UPDATE : nvm. back to normal again.

im having the 14r which is using the gt640m with optimus. no it does not get confused switching between both of them. when you full load your comp with games etc, you can notice it as you can hear the air blowing out from the heat sink beside the comp. erm, i did not check the fps. i set everything to high, 2xAA and it was very smooth. dare not set it to ultra i did not opt for extra warranty though. no other freebies. just the bag only.

how much did u got it for?i got a deal for 3.1 k with backlit keyboard and 3 years warranty.should i go for it?

14R SE with 3 yrs warranty! Back lit keyboard ?
3 yrs warranty plus back lit keyboard will cost RM 341, meant you get RM240 discount (~7.2%) discount,go for it.

i did not get the backlit keyboard, mine costs rm2999

some people on Whirlpool (Aussie forum) also suffered some BSOD...

Woah new one already got BSOD??
So fast lol

im suspecting the nvidia 640m is giving problems. even nvidia official website doesnt have driver support for 640m and 650m. used the auto detect driver and it cant detect my driver version too. gonna contact dell technical site tmr and send them the minidump file.

It'll take some time before official Nvidia drivers are available since these GPUs are new...
I've experienced the same thing with my GT555m last year

random bsod happens to you also ? happened to me twice already today at random times.

Added on June 2, 2012, 12:23 ammy crash dump file looks like this;

crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\060112-17440-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x7F1C0)
Bugcheck code: 0x9F (0x3, 0xFFFFFA8007C84A10, 0xFFFFF80000B9C3D8, 0xFFFFFA8007936970)
Error: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE
file path: C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
company: Microsoft Corporation
description: NT Kernel & System
Bug check description: This bug check indicates that the driver is in an inconsistent or invalid power state.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver which cannot be identified at this time.

any inspiron 14r se or 15r se facing the same prob ? will be contacting dell about this problem in the morning.

I'm planning to get the 15R SE with back lit keyboard. There is two versions of 15R SE on the Dell website, one costs RM2999, the other RM 3399.

The only difference between the two versions is the SSD only right? Does the 2999 version has Full HD screen?

And how do I get this 7% discount?

Added on June 2, 2012, 4:12 amAfter some research, I answered my own question.

15R SE RM2999 is not Full HD
15R SE RM3399 is Full HD, with 32GB SSD


And for the 7% discount, use the following code.

Tier 3: Dell laptop series between RM 2,501 - RM 3,000.
Get an extra 7% coupon cash off when you purchase now.
Use Coupon Number "LL35NXBV24PBLM" at the checkout.

Although the 15R SE with Full HD screen and 32GB SSD is RM3399, more than the RM3000 stated, it still can be used

Can I use the coupon number if I buy it at pavilion ??

Hmm I'm not sure, but I'd bet the coupon is only available for online purchases.

But I guess you could ask the people at Pavilion to give you a similar discount since it is offered in the Dell official website.

Or a simpler way would be to just buy from the online store

for those who have bought SE version online please do tell me which items did you order along with the laptop other than extended warranty . Do I need the basic client installation ?? & what is meant by "installation of a wireless network "??

You don't need the basic client installation. That's for those user that don't know how to setup wireless connection with a modem/router.

Besides the extended warranty, I'd pay extra RM42 for the backlit keyboard too

Alright I'm going to order dell SE version but I'm really confused on which one one to buy the 14R (2999), 15R (2999), or 15 R (3399) (32GB ssd) (FHD)

Which one is the best for gaming & other work like assignments ?

You might want to check with devour again since he just mentioned that the Inspiron 15R SE offered by dealers are a bit different from what you get online i.e. they come with Nvidia GT640M instead..
You do get better software support (Photoshop etc) for Nvidia cards, although that depends on what softwares you're using
But if you're only using for gaming, I guess getting the AMD card will do as well

how do I find this "devour" guy ?
