My brother has 15 Special edition i7 8gb ram,  gets  hot after a 30 min video and also turn on sometimes can on  sometimes cannot!   Last time he had to wait more than half an hour.  What happened to Dell man?  This is only 3 weeks old.   

I'm currently using my Inspiron 14r special edition, i7.

I have a question, why is the color different compared to my previous laptop, i'm having difficulties when the graphic I printed out is like 30% different from what I did.

Any idea on this?

You need to calibrate the screen first.

yep, hope so... thx anyway... if it doesnt go well i'll be complaining here again

third engineer came just now, with another keyboard, and with the exact same problem!! the engineer called the Dell support to tell them about the problem, and Dell support said "I don't see the issue here, do you know how to type?" wow apparently my problem is i don't know how to type even though i've never had any issue with every single laptop i've ever used before. he refused my request for a replacement, saying that i'll have the same issue if they send a new one. what??? then give me a new one before you make an assumption!! geez... i told him i went to lowyat last week to try their display unit of the exact same model, there was no such problem with that unit at all. and he had the nerve to suggest that 'i should press the spacebar in the middle only'. and they said Dell customer service is the best???? i asked for a refund and he said they'll charge some RM80 for refund??? what??? you gave me a defective unit and you want to charge me for refund??? and the laptop is not even 1 month old!!

the engineer took over and suggested to change the motherboard and maybe palmrest? i'll just have to wait until then. but really, Dell customer service is the worst ever. they can't even find out what's the problem and belittle their customers so they can get away with their defective products.

Thanks for the reply.

Are they come with dedicated GPU? I would prefer one without it as I like my laptop run cooler and power effecient.

did exactly that, except the cold and collected part i guess... anyway the guy kept saying "i don't see any issue" "engineers said there's no problem" (wow, just lied like that, if their engineers said there's no problem they won't be sending so many keyboards to me) "i'm sorry we cannot give you a replacement unit" "you will be charge RM80 for a refund" since when does a refund get charged, anyway??? and this is a new laptop somemore??

at least the engineer (somewhat) helped me by asking the guy to change motherboard or some (palm?) rest... they may come again tomorrow, so we'll see...

i see the con of on-site service like Dell's now, with issue like mine, if you go to a shop, you can probably change various spare parts until the problem is fixed. with Dell's, you have to wait for each spare part to arrive, make appointment to meet them each time, wasting a lot of time and dragging out the problem...

W8 at RM100? Is this good or bad? Bear in mind that I will need to buy W7 and install it on the notebook. I just hate W8 GUI.

BTW, could I easily install W7 myself (there goes the W8 down the drain)?
Will there be any issue with driver availability as well as the UEFI sh*t that people talked about?
