Boy do I have a bunch of questions for you. Please game for hours on hours and let me know if there is any kind of throttling. Been meaning to get this one for a long time, but not before hearing user reviews.

I have used Dell Ispiron 15 in the past and I think sound quality is the major issue concerned with all the Dell laptops available today.

You will only get this when you have to suffer. Specially for a man who keep that much weight on his laps, you know what I mean :mrgreen:

These three and half kg 17" laptop are for people who never carry laptop with themselves and not use as on the top of their laps. This is why this category called desktop replacement, it is for those who dont want space occupied by a desktop but want to use more as stationary PC.

*Max Payne 3... 45 to 60 fps with DX10 and FXAA medium,texture Normal . 15 to 25 fps...... Maxed out with DX 11
*Crysis 2 ... around 25 to 30fps... maxed out

play max payne 3 in directx11 and put everything on high, on, 2x. You will get good fps to enjoy in directx11.

And yea nowadays GPUs are cooler than CPUs.

Did u see the core i7 version price.... it around 95k..... Does it really worth that much??
I mean according to the model's specification.....
Actually i don't find much difference between i5 and i7 model. But the price difference is 30k.

The 95k version has a 3D screen too!!

yeah but still not worth the 30k if you have enough money go for it !

I say it's definitely worth it. Playing those high graphics games in 3D would be amazing.
If I had the money I would have definitely bought it.

yeah! but everyone can't afford that i think only 5% out of 100% or less its ur wish dude you asked about it thats why i answered it.... if anyone have enough bucks then good but its not vfm no way not even the i5 version is vfm..but its dell thats why its 95k:p

Well i am confused about the difference between i5 and i7 in terms of fps in modern game.....
Although they both have same graphics card but how much difference can the processor make??
Plus a 32Gb SSD in i7 model....

I am very confused... which one to select :-?

It is definately worth it. Try using one. The 3D screen costs near about 20k anyway. Hence i7+3D costing 30k excess is quite okay. But well, the performance is way amazing.

there will be not much performance diff. most of the buyers dont buy it 30k is something :p not 3k anyways its still not value for money product no way! if they could provide and i7 under 65k then it will be a good deal

well in other core i5 and i7 models... i am hearing a lot of throttling problem with their laptop....(ex samsung NP550P5C-S01/S02)
i don't understand this problem at all. can anyone explain and what are the causes?
bcoz before buying i want to make sure that this dell laptop don't create any such problem.

Laptops power requirements exceed that of the power brick. Less current is provided to the lappy so processor is forced to clock down to remain stable
