DELL 15R Special Edition (i15Rse-5000BK)

Great deal -- right now I think it's hard to beat without spending another $300+. Newegg is selling a refurb unit but as the previous reviewer stated you would be hardpressed to identify it as such. Mine came with a barely noticeable scuff mark along...

Battery life. Two to three hours at most. This is not a problem for me but it is shorter than other machines of similar spec out there

Beautiful Dell full hdmi screen

Hard drive is the slowest 5400 speed i have seen in the past 5 years.Lid is somewhat flimsy.Windows 8 is horrible.Laptop is heavy without being sturdy.There are much better choices.Read other thoughts.An easy way to find out how buggy a laptop is ,is...

For the price this seems like a pretty great buy. You get the memory, drive space and i7 performance as well as a solid screen and decent keyboard. When it's working you'll be pretty happy

The battery life is abysmal. I don't mean bad I mean suck, suckity, suck, suck, suck. I got in a 9:00 by 10:30 I was at 7%. That's just email, web and SSMS ; The wifi adapter can't lose connectivity and need to be reset fast enough. The phrase "The...

The stats look nice and when it's working it's fine

Well the wifi keeps disconnecting every 10 minutes. The video card errored out so that's kind of negative. One of the USB devices also failed so that's not really great and the battery only lasts a robust 90 minutes. So if you like having a desktop...

This computer is lightweight and sleek, the keys are sensitive and easy to push

The cons for this system are large. The box my system came in matched the description on newegg but the actual device was completely lacking the Radeon HD 8730 card that was supposed to be installed. Calling Dell about this issue did absolutely no...

This is a awesome laptop, I wiped the hd and installed OpenSuse 12.2. Everything works flawlessly. I left aside 200gb for a Windows 7 partition that Ill install sometime soon but Linux is the main os here ; The hardware is solid so far and everything...

Windows 8, it really sucks. I checked it out for a few minutes before I wiped the hd and its a huge step backwards from Windows 7 I think

Nice screen size

I thought I was purchasing the touchscreen version of the Dell 15 R but I guess I was comparing a different laptop. However I feel the computer is pretty much bare bones with lots of advertising. I want to return it but don't want to go through the hassle

Works out of the box with Ubuntu 12.10 86_64, including EFI install ; No proprietary WiFi drivers (uses iwlwifi driver) ; Open-source ATI driver is good enough, full 1080 resolution ; Standby works, brightness keys work, volume, backlit keyboard, etc ;...

Battery life could be better, it's around 3-4 hours ; Have to restart Xserver to switch between Intel and AMD graphics

Seemed like a good deal for the money

As the title suggests it goes blank constantly. I can't seem to find a solution

works as expected

Lot of junkwares ; Bought the 15R during black Fri deal. Followed instructions and the upgrade to Windows 8 never came
