QUOTE(PF T.J. @ May 28 2012, 03:59 PM) The HDD is 5400rpm, so 5.9 is normal... the bottleneck in performance will most probably be caused by the HDD alrite alrite. will post soon. i've been thinking of removing the dvd drive and install a ssd into it. Please do keep us posted, this is a hot model and I'm sure a lot of people are waiting for reviews You can obtain temperature readings by downloading HWMonitor Thanks~ |

QUOTE(blabla987 @ May 28 2012, 06:44 PM) how is the 14r se and 15r se temperature? i have phobia for laptop heat... got hp last time.. the heat is annoying.. haha btw is the 15 se with latest processor? and hw is the build quality for the 14 se.. plastic feel or more solid feel? QUOTE(Marz CJy @ May 28 2012, 07:21 PM) QUOTE(IXionI @ May 28 2012, 08:10 PM) how about the temperature when playing games? well, been leaving it idle since 1pm till now, no heating issues. and yes, it does feel a bit plastic to me coz of its design i guess. yea i'll be uploading a few pics, sry for the late posting as i was a lil bit busy. i played a few rounds of LoL just now at very high settings and benchmark fps, no problem at all hopefully it doesn't get overheated fast @ @ and oso the display quality..?

Can download HWMonitor to check the temperatures QUOTE(ac_N1 @ May 29 2012, 12:11 PM) yea. sound is from skullcandy. its decent for me. still i think b&o sounds better Added on May 29, 2012, 9:15 pm QUOTE(Icehart @ May 29 2012, 09:04 PM) 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 well the keyboard is a lil bit soft. feel quite fragile for me. lol using an external keyboard here, which is also 5 years old dell keyboard 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?

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ May 29 2012, 10:42 PM) Wah, so serious ar? its not serious at all. the reason im using an external keyboard is because im a person who types hard and when i game, i tend to like bash the buttons The keyboard buttons are plastic right? It looks similar to the keyboards in the current Inspiron 14/15 |

QUOTE(Mikeshashimi @ May 31 2012, 12:46 PM) nice to know that. how bout the switching function. Does it get confused between using the HD4000 and the 7730m often? QUOTE(clon12 @ May 31 2012, 01:36 PM) QUOTE(crazyivan @ May 31 2012, 02:13 PM) 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 |

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.
