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 biggrin.gif about offline games i havent try it out yet. will test it later or tomorrow. and btw, all the usb ports are 3.0.

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 hmm.gif
But if you're only using for gaming, I guess getting the AMD card will do as well nod.gif

is this true? yawn.gif

pretty much.. they're much closer to software developers than amd imo. still, "depends on what softwares you're using".

How to get the Student Price from Dell?
*
you will have to use the 'dell chat' or call them and ask if there's any student discount for specified model.

1. getting an i7 will mean higher heat, best to avoid if you're using for gaming only... get an i7 only if your work requires the additional processing power nod.gif
2. 500GB (7200rpm) is actually better than a 1TB (5400rpm) HDD since its significantly faster nod.gif Upgrade to hybrid HDDs or SSD instead if you have the money nod.gif
3. as what iori_argami has mentioned, RAM its better to upgrade yourself since its cheaper doing that~
*
the 1tb 5400rpm drive is not realy slow, comparable to the 7200rpm 500gb due to the higher density.

They say every week different promotion, they cannot keep giving previous customers rebates because of that.

I'm gonna receive my new Dell tomorrow. Thinking about returning it and then ordering again for the cheaper price, but it is very troublesome  sweat.gif

if you have the time to do so, you should have did that when the200 rebate has started biggrin.gif

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

see if something like this is enabled
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4329/intel-z...aching-review/5

the ssd is for ssd caching one, you can choose to use 8gb for iFFs ( fast recover from hibernate) if you want.

I just sent an email to the sales representative and he called me one day later agreeing to return rm186, not sure if I can get 2% more discount =x

Okay, so does it mean that the 32GB is just something like RAM, I can't use it to store files?
Sigh, I understand how you feel too.  sad.gif But I'm leaving to study at Australia soon and don't have the time do return and get a new one or something.
*
you can say so, but you can disable the intel technology and use it as SSD if you want, which is pretty pointless as you can't install much things to a 32GB drive.
