The larger size will mean better cooling as well due to the large space within the laptop. However, the larger size will result in it being less portable and have shorter battery lives.. Your pick |

only go 15r for FHD
14r uses gt640 which means you have optimus. AFAIK 15r doesnt have numpads which for me is a big deal on 15.6. Dont forget the backlits, they're cheap and very useful/nice feature. also, note 3612 is weaker than 3610. |

Yes. FHD refers to Full High Definition, that is the resolution of the screen

Nvidia Optimus is a technology (program) allowing you to switch in between your Nvidia card and the Intel HD3000/4000 of the CPU.
Optimus will automatically switch to the Nvidia card when you are playing games for better performance; and will automatically switch to the integrated GPU when you are trying to save battery  |

QUOTE(crazyissac @ May 24 2012, 11:09 AM) But the coupon only works before JUN~how can we wait ><....RM200++ woh~ I thought those coupons are constantly being given out? Anyway, I doubt it'll take long for Dell to update their systems If you are really that impatient, then do confirm with Dell Sales Agents on the available customization options for the HDD (if you are looking into using SSD/ SSD-HDD hybrids systems, that is).. Personally I would try to avoid the 1TB (5400rpm) HDD because its very slow... at least go for 7200rpm ones even though the storage might be smaller (750GB).. which is why I would advice you guys to wait and see 1st as we're not sure whether they are offering these kind of configurations or not |

Emailed DELL already...asking whether the student 7% discount can overlap with the 7% EPP discount
and also about the HDD customization option. Their customer service really excellent Edit: The 7% EPP discount CAN'T work with the FHD 15r SE. Only the normal one. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « seems like the HDD configuration is fixed already. This post has been edited by clon12: May 24 2012, 12:38 PM |

QUOTE(PhungTM @ May 24 2012, 01:38 PM) hmm HDD option is what? customization? what does it mean by HDD option is fix? Means changing the HDD to other option like lower storage but faster rpm HDD, SSD+HDD hybrid etc. Since they say the HDD option is fixed which means it can only us 1TB 5400rpm HDD and you can't customize it... |

You could always customize your own desktop, and you decide what kind of atx casings you want (small ones for your case) Simply put, a RM1.5k desktop can easily pawn a RM3k laptop |

Finally put in an order for the 15R.... temptation was just too great for the value for paying the price for such a good spec (not great, but pretty good for its price).

Actually would like to know on keyboard quality. I usually spend quite a good chunk of my time in front of a laptop typing documents and doing presentations so a good keyboard is important for me. I would love if the keyboard is as good as the Thinkpads
My last purchase of Asus N43SL. The specs are great but due to the poor keyboard quality, I sold it after owning it for 4 months. How about this Dell keyboard? Is it comfortable to type on and touch? Is it plasticky? |

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 |

I've experienced the same thing with my GT555m last year 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 This post has been edited by zsaberstar: Jun 2 2012, 04:12 AM |

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 |

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.

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 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 |

Thinking of grabbing it before they change the price.
Selected the 3 year warranty and it summed up to 2.5k i5-3210m GT 640M 14" 1366x768 500GB 7200 RPM Pretty decent eh? This post has been edited by markypcs: Jun 5 2012, 04:39 PM |

For the 14R SE, I chatted with Dell sales agent on their website, I don't think it is mistake since they confirm the price with me. If add with 3 years warranty the price will be around 2.5K, if minus student discount 5% which will be around 2375.

GT 640M is a decent GPU.
IMHO, I think it is a great laptop for the price. Only thing I'm worried about is.. it is Dell. Hopefully it doesn't break down since I'm in Australia. Anyone know if I can claim warranty from Dell Australia if I buy from Dell Malaysia? |

QUOTE(bashlyner @ Jun 6 2012, 01:06 PM) Yea it's the i5 one http://configure.ap.dell.com/dellstore/con...ron-14r-se-7420 There are many types of Nvidia GT640M. I'm not sure whether it is Kepler GT640M or Kepler GT640M LE.I dunno much about GPU, is 640M Kepler weaker? Which one is better? The former is relatively better than the latter. QUOTE(markypcs @ Jun 6 2012, 01:16 PM) GT 640M is a decent GPU. What's wrong with Dell? IMHO, I think it is a great laptop for the price. Only thing I'm worried about is.. it is Dell. Hopefully it doesn't break down since I'm in Australia. Anyone know if I can claim warranty from Dell Australia if I buy from Dell Malaysia? Dell's warranty is international iinm. |

You can transfer your warranty to Australia through Dell's website International warranty is applicable if the country you are in is also offering the laptop you're using |

May I know why this is cheaper than the 15R SE in dell website?
http://www.techhypermart.com/notebooks/del...6-notebook.html RM2609 with everything same except 4GB RAM, this one even better with 1600x900 screen and GT640M GPU. Since I can always add another 4GB RAM myself, is it better to get this than the RM2999 from dell? |

Hurry up before they remove the link again.

If they refuse to give you rebate, you can ask for refund as far as the item are new without any scratch and within the return policy timeframe. Hurry up, call Dell & nego with the sales manager as they have more authority. If still can't make it, ask them to arrange the refund for you. Beware, they may counter offer you with freebies. Just stick with the refund or rebate, hopefully you should able to make it. Wish you good luck. not manage to get the rm200 rebate only.. pls refer to Dell returned policies for details. under wat conditions or circumstances we can ask for a replacement of a new laptop? Quoted from Steventan85 "any circumstances.... examples like u dont like the performance of the notebook , u ordered the wrong spec , or the notebook got some defect or cosmetic blemished..... i juz returned 1 unit of Inspiron 1525 due to the poor performance of Celeron processor....go and check for that topic in tis section.."

Now better get the Inspiron 15R SE, i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + 32GB SSD + 1TB HDD(5400rpm), 8GB RAM cause it is at 9 % discount and not 7 %, roughly extra RM 64 discount (Final price RM 2,911.09). Apply coupon code Z0X576K3W513S?
If compare to the Inspiron 14R SE, i5-3210M + GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2199[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm), cheaper by RM 700, but you don't get the FHD 1920 x 1080, i7 processor, 8 GB RAM and 32 GB SSD but advantage is the graphic card (640M vs AMD HD7730) and the HDD 500 GB (7200rpm) vs HDD 1GB (5400RPM) The link still can access at http://www.dell.com/my/p/inspiron-14r-se-7...ron-14r-se-7420 If compare to the Inspiron 15R SE, i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M, 8GB, 1TB(5400rpm) @RM2603 (after applying coupon code LL35NXBV24PBLM), cheaper RM 300 , but you don't get the FHD 1920 X 1080 and 32 GB SSD.

I wanna get the 14R SE, i5-3210M + GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2199
Is it eligible for any coupon discounts at the moment? Thanks. I plan to upgrade to a 128GB SSD for games,is it a good idea? is the i5 version cooler than the i7?which is better for games? This post has been edited by BlueBaby: Jun 11 2012, 12:35 PM |

If Dell refuse to give rebate due to their unfair pricing, you can ask them to arrange for full refund of your payment and returning the laptop to them as per Dell returned policy. You can also ask them to waive off the RM80 handling charges. If you fail to nego with their customer service, go further up and nego with their sale manager as they have higher authority.
Hopefully, they will give you rebate as they are more to lose if they lost their business. Wish you best of luck. This post has been edited by ytlay: Jun 12 2012, 06:12 PM |

I received my 15R SE with 32GB SSD this morning.
Quite satisfied with it so far. Only thing is I still don't know how to utilize the SSD. I thought it will be like another hard disk that will appear in My Computer but its not there. Then I checked the tray at the bottom right corner and found an Intel Rapid Start thingy that shows my 32GB SSD is there. But I still have no idea how to access it lol |

Hey guys, I'm getting very confused reading this thread...
For the Inspirion 14R SE, I saw someone mentioned RM2999, and some mentioned RM2599, but now what i see from Dell website is RM2199. But then there is quoted a "RM200 instant redemption" there. So, actually how much have to pay for this model? The price has been changing all these while? Btw, if order online and pay with credit card, any credit card will do or must use citibank credit card? Pls help me to get things straight, TQ! |

Or drop them an email, they replied quite quickly in my experience. Actually, that link is not really hidden, can access even from www.dell.com.my. Got link to direct to there... |

Ya, but it's pretty pointless, as the only optimized will be the operating system and some very limited amount of program installed on it. It's better to enable the smart response technology |

Haven't got myself a mouse yet, so I'm relying on the touch pad.
Kinda disappointed that the touch pad doesn't have a side scrolling function though. I thought every laptop nowadays has it. Even the HP netbook that I gotten for free from TM for the Cool Uni pack 2 years back has it.I take that back, just found the Dell Touch Pad settings at the control panel. Use gestures to scroll This post has been edited by zsaberstar: Jun 14 2012, 10:34 PM |

hi all,
I was looking for review on Dell Inspiron 15R Special Edition and I found this website, would guys,like to thank you all for the feedbacks. It help me a lot, but i still got a few question to ask. 1. since this is using ivybridge, it should have the integrated intel hd graphics 4000, correct? (or it is disabled?) 2. does it support auto switching between AMD Radeon™ HD 7730M DDR3 2GB? (eg: intel hd4000 when normal usage, kick start ATI Radeon when playing games?) 3. how does the wireless display (widi) works for this model? seems like I can't find any widi compatible router at my place (I'm in penang) |

I'm pretty particular about sound quality - im no expert or an audiophile by any means... but i appreciate a good sound...Because the speakers are located under the laptop (not directly under of course), the sound reflects of the surface you are putting your laptop on and you can sense that little bit of echo-ish sound to it and sometimes it sounds muffled. |

QUOTE(aba9785 @ Jun 18 2012, 01:28 PM) hi all, I'm wondering about this as well. How do I change to the HD 7730M? I went to dxdiag at it says HD4000.I was looking for review on Dell Inspiron 15R Special Edition and I found this website, would guys,like to thank you all for the feedbacks. It help me a lot, but i still got a few question to ask. 1. since this is using ivybridge, it should have the integrated intel hd graphics 4000, correct? (or it is disabled?) 2. does it support auto switching between AMD Radeon™ HD 7730M DDR3 2GB? (eg: intel hd4000 when normal usage, kick start ATI Radeon when playing games?) 3. how does the wireless display (widi) works for this model? seems like I can't find any widi compatible router at my place (I'm in penang) |

Previously 15R SE is rm2999 during launch, rebate rm200 become rm2799. Then they sneakily remove the rebate and normal online price now become rm2799.
Current promo is MS Office Upgrade for RM99 (NP RM249), save another RM150 if you like to use licensed products What to do when competitor come out with good stuffs like Lenovo Y580 (GTX660M DDR5, 1TB HDD 7200rpm, Blueray combo drive @ RM3399), or HP dv6-7038tx (GT 650M DDR5, FHD, Blueray drive, price unknown yet, but I'm tempted ). I'm hoping to see the Insprion 17R SE in M'sia, that's another awesome machine imho.But I see the 14R SE is also RM2799 now. RM2599 is for 14R (not the SE). I did notice a RM50 increase in their 3 year warranty. Now RM349, previously RM299. EPP 7% still can be use This post has been edited by Madcownivean: Jun 22 2012, 12:33 PM |

As i know 15R SE got FHD with @rm3199 is it possible to choose the base spec 15r special edition then top up a FHD screen to it? i cant remember on which website i saw, it says topping up to a FHD screen only cost rm140.. not posible right? and for the price of the base spec SE, ASUS N56 if a more worthy choice? http://www.dell.com/my/p/inspiron-15r-se-7...ron-15r-se-7520 |

10/6 place order, ETA 22/6.
18/6 ETA updated to 25/6, send a email to them and complain too long, is more than half month(15days) to get the laptop reach. As already quite annoy when the lenovo Y580 launch with 1st class GPU at price >3.5k right after 3 days i place order, there is nothing like this price in market b4 that if I am not mistaken.I include begging them to make it on 22/6 in the email...finally it reach at 22/6. 15.6 msata version device kosong now 2 second to start up. equip with master cooler U3....seems the legend of U3 is a lie,no different for temp test by hand during standby. plug in HDD testing COD black ops, fan running with the sound zzz...as state in some forum this problem not solve even after dell technician change the fan.so no border. very smooth on COD and lap works like easy job for it. no cpuid and gpuz meter, no time. mayb next few weeks to upload. F...ing what aluminium anodized back cover is bullshit.its juz a thicker plastic with paint. keyboard like going to jump out....douing....can see the spring edi haha...joking....very lose...seriously. therefore, build quality ---haiz... the belkin bags looks nice, n i think compare with those cipla brand RM50/60 better to get this belkin bag. gv me some time to propose test autocad, BF3 in nxt post. thks for viewing.

you should take a snapshot of your keyboard and let us see what's the problem, I feel mine is acceptable:O
not sure if there'll be much positive effect by using laptop cooler, cause there's only one tiny vent below the compputer. I think for the cover, it's a plastic with aluminium coating. With the computer switched off and put in aircond room, the part wit 'aluminium coating' feels colder, yoou can compare it easily at the touchpad part. |

Guys. After reading all the pages. Is 15r SE really that terrible? (Bsod, bad speakers, plasticky build, etc.) kinda attractive to me for the specs. i game a lot with the old babe 3670 on my sxps16, not the new games though. So am wondering which one is better 15r or 14r better for gaming? Looks like 640 has better performance but only 15r (which only comes with 7730) comes with FHD. Does 14r have FHD? Was thinking about n56 but the comments on their sales service is kinda pulling me off the deal with Asus. A lot of doubts. Wanted to change new lappy so badly man. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks.
Edit: the games i played are usually like CoD and BF3 (cant even play bf3 on my lappy, played on friend's desk) This post has been edited by zorbyss.: Jun 24 2012, 05:36 AM |
