Dell Inspiron 15r or 15r SE

[tahirk]

Hi there,

I have searched quite a lot but still confused , I'm planning to buy one of Inspiron 15R or 15R SE. The only difference I see between the two is the graphic card, but going through the benchmarks I hardly see any improvements in SE model's Radeon 7730M from that of 15R's Radeon 7670M.

Can you guys please help me in choosing between the two.

Is SE really worth giving some extra bucks for Radeon 7730.


ps: The SE version in our region didn't have FHD (Full HD) display.

Just confirmed from other store who offers it with FHD. So is it worth buy then that of 15r.

Thanks,

Tahir

If you can get the SE with FHD then I'd go for that. In my opinion that's a considerable upgrade. For 15" notebooks in the 600+ Euro range I wouldn't settle for 1366x768 any more.

I'm looking at the Inspiron 15 SE  (with FHD) and the Vostro 3560 (with FHD) myself (for my sister). They seem to be great choices in that class. The only thing that's holding me back a bit is that I was hoping we'd see more notebooks with touch screens already.

Thanks, so I'll stick with it, but will this have any significant difference as 1920 resolution for a 15.6 inch laptop isn't it too much, will I be able to see the icons, menus, texts as normal.

With standard setting everything is a bit smaller, but for me it's still okay. There's also the possibilty to activate scaling in Windows. This increases the size of things at the higher resolution but causes small issues with software that hasn't been designed with scaling in mind. And of course you can also select a lower resolution on a high-resolution monitor. So there's really no downside.
