so i was going through the dell website and saw this new 15r which is lighter and had an AMD radeon hd8730m. so i was wondering is it a good laptop?????also is it any good for high gaming
The Dell Inspiron 15r 2013
The CPU is ULV, i3 I think, so if its i3 ULV its cr@p. worse than AMD A8, stuck at 1.8GHz, and if its i5 ULV, then it will perform as much as i3 normal.
To check if its ULV, see the CPU model no. if its i3/i5xxxxU its ULV, if its i3/i5xxxxM its normal and then its good.

you will get more battery life. will be OK for normal usage. all of them are dual core cpus.
my roomate got it yesterday.. it is i5-3317u.. extremely light and has windows 8.. The problem is that its processing speed is around 1.8GHZ only and turbo boost of 2.7GHZ.. Any more questions??
So basically around the performance of i3 3110m? Cost?
He got it for 46K and got a free mouse(similar to logitech G100), 4 GB Toshiba Pendrive free with it.. Was doing fine while playing BO2.. Battery life is great..
46k? Ripped off man, sorry but i3 cpu @ 46k is ripoff, and battery life is not that big an issue as i3 and i5ULV consumes similar power.
PS: Install UniFL Drivers to play game if Dell is not providing Cat 13.1
well this ones available for 50K everywhere from where he bought it.. It has i5 3rd gen processor written over it, so its obvious that the price was justified at the time of purchase..
I see now, I think someone should sue intel for dubious names
he had a kind of mini heart attack when i pointed out the processor speeds..
He is a fool, he has a techie like you in his room, and he gets this, for 46k
He asked me if 8870 was a good graphic card and i told him that it is somewhat equivalent to 640m(my friends compare every radeon gc with nvidia) and then he said he was buying a dell laptop with i5-3rd gen, 1Tb HDD, 6 GB RAM, Windows 8 and 2 GB 8870 gc for 46K.. Felt that something was fishy as earlier one of my friends had bought the same config for 54K(15r turbo).. Poor chap..
thx or the heads up......anyway which laptop is the best at this price range.and i am looking for one which can game.
Your best bet is HP 2049TX, available in flipkart for 36k only, which frankly is a steal

Can you tell me from where did he purchased the laptop? What about the quality of display and how much is the approx battery life in hours ?
Please also let me know whether the display panel is thin or normal LED.
I am planning to buy an i7 with 8 GB RAM.
Budget?
Well I also need somewhat similar config i.e. i7 8gb ram and 2gb graphic card in the budget of 60k
Lenovo Y500 @ 63k locally, eyes closed.
Nice thread ...thanks shashank for all the info and the blunder ur friend made...which I was also planning to make
But brother it is available for above 66k everywhere in my city can you tell where can I get for 63k. I can go till Delhi which is in my radius.
Make a new thread, ask for delhi people to help you find some shops.

Can you ask your roommate regarding the heat in 15R 2013 ? I am planning to buy but I want to know whether it generates any heat during normal usage.
Y500 is having touchpad issue. It's a waste to invest 65000 and then run with service center guys to replace touchpad.
Then on which laptop should I invest 65k can you plz suggst
Best choice is Y500, if you get a faulty touchpad lenovo will replace it for sure within a few days, or if you are not sure about that, get Samsung Samsung NP550P5C-S05IN
Yesterday went through lots of laptop models and processor comparision.
In RAW performance Intel 'u' processor are no where to be found even in top 30 ..not even the i7 with U
Dell turbo 2013 with i7 'QM' cost around 56k old one costed 51k ...thats all soo confusing

Let me give you an idea, all i3 and i5 are dual core quad thread, aka hyperthreated, and among i7 a few are 2 core 4 thread, these are just m, are top of the lines are 4 core 8 thread, hence QM, for Quadcore M.
Of course these are for mobile processors, XM stands for Xtreme M and for top 2 i7 with max speeds.
He got it from Mathura..
Battery life is of about 5 hours(with movie playing).
I'm from Delhi and Lenovo Y500 is available for 65K at Nehru Place.. It wasnt on display so i cant say anything about the build quality..
Y 500 all the way..
