Thanks to sifu [PF]T.J,nexus and the others Tomorrow I going to placed an order for the dell inspiron 15R special edition I appreciate you guys opinion.

Anyway,should I upgrade the 32GB caching SSD to SSD that has higher capacity? I mean after I bought the laptop.I plan to buy Crucial or Intel ssd as I save my money from buying the Y500

I plan to get the cooler master U3 as well,is it a good choice?

Thanks for the information
I plan to get a ssd of capacity 128GB.so should I replace the 1TB hdd or the 32GB mSATA?

I would grab it by tomorrow if can,wondering how long does dell's delivery takes Excited to experience the new laptop

I googled it and saw they said it has a daughter board that connect to the mSATA card? so we can upgrade the mSaTa card?

Thanks for the reply So can I upgrade it to higher capacity ssd and use it as main boot drive? or it just limited to use as ssd caching

Guys,when I purchasing my dell Inspiron 15R special edition,the Sales representative told me that the mSATA SSD could not be upgrade to higher capacity.If I upgrade myself,it will automatically void and engineer refuse to inspect my laptop when I got any problem in the future

I see Afraid I would damage other part Is it hard to upgrade myself?
lol~bro putochip123 from where?IF he willing to help,I willing to treat him a mcD meal
Or T.J You help me? I would like to upgrade to 128/256GB crucial m4 mSATA

Seriously they keep scared me out everything and so much different with what you guys said and what I researched in internet

Usually I build my desktop hardware rig myself and disassemble my laptop to upgrade RAM.but never encounter mSATA in daughter board before.is it so much different? Need you guys tell me how hard is it


By the way guys,do you guys know any model that budget <4k that have a good laptop battery and full hd screen? because I just realize that the Inspiron 15R SE just got about 2hours battery life.Is it pretty short or normal?

does Z400 have full hd display? I need the 1920X1080 for more workspace as I'll spending my time programming in this laptop
By the way,Dell now got promotion free one 20" dell monitor

Is the acer will be a better deal? I quite impressed by the Acer V3 as well when I experienced it last Saturday
My local store sell the acer at retail price RM2899 and free junky gift :S [Kota Kinabalu,Sabah]

I get quoted for dell inspiron 15R SE at RM3.35k
upgrade to 3 years accident full cover warranty
backlit keyboard
upgrade to Targus 2.0 backpack

Additional:
one free Dell IN2030M 20'' [due to mastercard promotion]

is it? If like that then no luck with the Acer V3
Seriously I get poisoned by the Acer V3 screen until now,keep thinking of getting it the screen is awesome bro =[ the dell offered a monitor suddenly make me feel like more towards to dell due to the freebies aaaw..

Anyway,how much does the Acer 3 years warranty upgrade cost?

Hi guys,I received my dell inspiron 7520 today and not quite satisfy with it.the weight is quite heavy and the lid keep stick those finger print which make it very ugly and dirty

Should I jump ship to Illegear RE-15 or RE-17? or I just upgrade the hdd of the dell inspiron 15R SE to 256GB SSD I dislike the dell maybe because the design I think

My usage will be only programming and general usage.

I had test it out before I buy at my local store but it offered a lot of freebies such as monitor,so I attracted with the freebies and go for the wrong step
The Customer Service told me that if I return it within 14 days,it will charge me for RM80 but I think it should be alright,it is better than stuck with this laptop for the following 4-5 years
I think I would like the design of RE-15. It looks cool and heard it has very solid build and very beautiful screen.

The monitor is gifted by Mastercard,so the monitor will be delivery to me after two weeks.IF I requested for the return policy,will the monitor still free for me?

I would like opt to the 95% gamut screen Yea,after customize,it should be cost up to 4k+

haha yeap sad

By the way,how come the screen of inspiron 7520 so blurish? is it defect or what? I suppose the screen of dell inspiron 7520 should be quite nice also but it look worse than lenovo Y500 a lot.

The full hd matte screen
Yeap
I think it should be the brightness of Y500 screen make it looks like more nice Maybe I need to get used to it as well Thank you guys for helping me out.

by the way,the touchpad area very hot Should I get a coolerpad as I'm not gaming at all I wonder will the laptop work without a cooler pad? I worry it will burnt out

Yeap,I set it to 1920X1080

Yeap adjusted it already but I think the screen is like not as great as my Dell U2312HM

okay,then nothing to complain already Need to buy a U2 or U3 My local store don't sell those cooler anyway,need to buy over postage,any recommend seller?
I not dare to open to clean the dust or whatever after scared by their customer service I plan to upgrade to crucial m4 128/256GB SSD,but then I don't know I should replace the 1TB or just using mSATA SSD slot.I heard you guys said mSATA ssd is slower,but if the laptop support SATA III,the speed will be the same as normal ssd,not?Point me out if I'm wrong because I'm not so familiar with computer thingy Your guys help will be appreciated

If I replace the 32GB msata with 128GB msata crucial m4 and make it as main boot drive.Is it slower than replace the 1TB HDD?

First of all,thanks for the long reply and detailed explanation.

aaw,embarrassing myself here because I not quite know about those technology thingy

I sent email to the customer service but they still didn't reply me yet.But while waiting for the confirmation of the return policy,I using this laptop and feel get used to it already,quite okay also except the laptop is not stylish.short battery life,speaker at the bottom of the laptop,easy to heat up and relatively heavy but I think it is not a main problem as the laptop will be stay at home most of the time

Thanks for guide me how to clean the laptop I had a blower for my camera so I think it should be can use to blow out the dust too

Wow,very clear explanation and clear off my confusing mind.I had google this problem for few days and didn't get the answer I want until get the answer from you,thanks a lot

Basically the heat problem is from the hard disk drive? If the main problem is from the hard disk drive,I would like to replace the hdd with ssd since 256+32 is quite enough for me.Do you mean using the existing internal hdd as external hdd.Is it a way to do that?sounds cool

Does the crucial m500 available at Malaysia? I searched around at garage sell and no luck getting it.I saw lingloong selling Intel 525 msata but exceed my budget for 256gb ssd I think I need to wait the M500 or the intel 525 to drop price

Thanks,would search for the ssd around and compare the price I'll check out my local store first

Anyway,I now just realise that inspiron 15R 7520 came with LITEON msata ssd instead of Samsung SSD? I thought 7520 using samsung ssd as I always saw people talk at other forum.

by the way the processor idle at 60 degree celcius

I see,I thought it will be sure using the Samsung brand That means if i replaced the liteon msata ssd with crucial m4,I only can sell the liteon msata ssd lower than other ssd not? I not sure about the price of liteon ssd because I never saw people selling it before

Hmmm,I would try to apply a cooler pad and see how it work,if still cant make it,I think I would fork out the RM80 and grab the illegear RE-15 Hope RE-15 wont give me so much problem

Anyway,do you have any idea how to clean the backlid cover? my fingerprint all over the backlid cover and make it looks super dirty

Hmmm okay

The refund process would take about 2-3 weeks after apply I bet if wanted to return the dell and grab the illegear,another one month to go The money hanging there The heat problem is quite serious as my touchpad heat up very fast and feel not comfortable with it.
