Jo,
The Inspiron 15R is a great little traveller. The cooling vents are on the bottom of the chassis so make sure you resist the urge to place a pillow or blanket between it and your legs. This can cause serious overheating and subsequent failure of your laptop. A great solution is to grab a book or hard binder. This will keep the laptop off your legs and supply ample airflow to keep it cooler.

Review 5 for Inspiron 15R SE 7520
Title:
Great Performance and support.
PostedJune 5, 2012
Yes, I would recommend this product
Great perfomance and looks good with the backlit keyboard and HD screen. The 7730m video card gets around 9600 in 3dmark06 and can play current games well with high detail. Startup is quick with the mSata drive - maybe just a little bit quicker than a Seagate hybrid drive.
The one I recevied had a hardware fault causing it to crash (BSOD on the experience index assessment) but the Dell technical support was excellent - they sent a technician out to replace the main board the next day after it was diagnosed via a couple of emails.
Can definitely reccommend, but if it's for a desktop replacement you should go for the 17r version instead with the better video card & larger screen.
Pros:Gaming, cad

Well priced & Featured
PostedJune 9, 2012
Yes, I would recommend this product
This laptop impressed me over what I found locally and was a reason I decided on buying it.
The specs on the laptop are pretty good so is the styling of it the aluminium gives it a nice look while staying fairly cool.
On the sound side of things this laptop performs very well both speaker wise and noise level.
If your going to expect magic 10hr battery length you would be better with a ultrabook but you wont have what your getting in this laptop, your looking at around 3-5hrs battery depending how you use it.
In my opinion a very good buy and would suit anyone looking at ether a gaming laptop/desktop unit/student laptop or even everyday use.
There is a latch on mine for those switch lids but they are possibly not compatable.
Pros: well featured and designed, very nice keyboard to type on with a pretty good backlight, great little speakers, not full of useless bloatware the included software is actually usable.
Cons: Odd place for the Windows CD key in my opinion It's under the battery but nothing to worry about and thats pretty much only issue I have with the laptop.
Pros:Gaming, internet, school / work, videos

Review 7 for Inspiron 15R SE 7520
Title:
My new favourite toy
PostedJune 16, 2012
Yes, I would recommend this product
The Inspiron 15R Special Edition is definitely a computer upgrade worth having.
The exterior is classy and attractive. The true to life screen is exceptional and I love having the mobility centre button in such a convenient position. With wifi, battery, brightness, volume, bluetooth and keyboard lighting adjustments just one touch away, it makes a great difference.
The keyboard features rounded island keys which are not only appealing, but easy to type with, other than some other island key boards I have used in the past. The touch pad is large and sensitive to touch which means it is very easy to use.
This laptop has very good specs, the main reason I bought it, for a very reasonable price. Having only had intel pentium and usb 2.0, the upgrade to Ivy Bridge and ub 3.0 has made a tremendous impression. An essential upgrade, really.
The laptop is a comfortable, decent size, and of reasonable weight. The design does look very slender compared to other laptops that are not ultrabooks.
I was also entertained by the preloaded content onto the laptop, featuring FastAccess facial recognition to log in and out of the accounts.
The webcam is fairly decent and the speakers are good quality for a laptop. Good battery life as far as I can tell, I have only had it off charge once as only received yesterday.
Overall I have yet to experience any problems with this laptop. I love it, and as my boyfriend said himself "I would so get this if I didn't already have a new laptop!"
Thanks!
Pros:personal use

Shubham Bansal,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the Dell Inspiron 15R. We appreciate your feedback.
If you are using your laptop with high performance software or games, it will cause the fans to work harder to keep the system cool. Try to keep objects away from the air vent which is on the left side of the laptop. This will allow for better cooling.

A breathe of fresh air.......
PostedJune 25, 2012
Yes, I would recommend this product
I originally bought the Dell Inspiron 15R N5110 (last gen). I HATED IT. nothing but problems and over heating and frustration. Got this one 2 days ago, and its fast, stays cool, amazing SCREEN!!!!!!!, and great graphics (thanks to the AMD RADEON 7730M 2gb. dell should use more AMD products.)
Not a huge diffrence between 2nd gen intel core i5 and 3rd gen.
The design is amazing. I hate thing laptops, they get way to hot. This is perfect size, shape, & weight. This is a true Dell product. the last few dell laptops have been horrible in design and hardware. THIS is what Dell needs to go back to for customer to return. (now if they'd bring back north American support!) and more info on the screen, it's amazing and breathe taking I LOVE IT. the speakers are 8 / 10 for laptop speakers.
anyways if you're looking for a perfect all around laptop. this is it. and if you're not all about thin laptops and like the bigger (because they run colder) this is the best OPTION. THANK YOU DELL FOR A JOB WELL DONE.
(but seriously, North American support again? thats what made dell what it was back in 2006!, when i had my dell dimension C521)

Great Laptop but got a problem
PostedJune 29, 2012
Yes, I would recommend this product
Just got this thing in yesterday to replace my Studio 1458 I got several years ago and I must say it's looking pretty good.
I'm still a student studying computer animation and video game programming so I'll be updating my computers quite frequently. (And being a hardcore PC Gamer on the side)
Haven't really been bothered by the heat as much because when I'm home it's usually on a cooling pad connected to an external monitor, mouse, and keyboard. the graphics are amazing and beautiful, this is my first 1080P monitor laptop so looking at the screen then back at my Studio is a relative Wow!
one bad thing I noticed is that my Optical Drive seems to not fit into the slot properly, it still reads discs and stuff but it hangs down and out by a few millimeters, enough to get snagged on things and get potentially damaged, and since I'm a full time student and will be moving around a lot with the lap top, I'm sure that this will quickly become a problem in both that it my get damaged and dust will get into the system and that's never a good thing.
Hope they can replace my optical drive with one that fits properly, it really is a major concern for me....
other then that Great Product, Solid buy!

Jumping straight to facts.
If you are mainly going to use the laptop for multimedia purposes(movies+music) or studies(Microsoft office+Google chrome), this is a great laptop and please do upgrade to the full HD screen.
However, for gaming, please do expect:-
low-mid settings (1920x1080 pixels)
mid-high settings (1366x768 pixels)
Thus, for the best gaming experience, it is recommended to use the normal HD screen.

The hexagonal design on the laptop shell is wonderful and gives the laptop a sophisticated feel, however traps dirt easily and has to be regularly cleaned.
Overall a good product from Dell and worth considering for purchase.

Got this one last week .Delivered in exactly 10 days.Too many good features i just dont know where to start ...
Pros:
Performance is Simply Fast and I mean WAY fast.
Quick Startup(but still could be better).
You can do multitasking with heavy graphics applications and emulators with response as lightning fast.(Thats 3rd gen i7)
As for gaming too,I ran almost all games (like Crysis 2,Skyrim,BF3) with full on settings (including 2xAA) at around 30-35fps.(Thanks to AMD)
Display is crisp clear.
Less heating even with all day heavy duty.
Very Satisfied here.
Build & Design is Sophisticated & Sturdy.
Good.Perfect shape and size.
Good Dell Services too.
Quick Startup(but still could be better).
You can do multitasking with heavy graphics applications and emulators with response as lightning fast.(Thats 3rd gen i7)

Yes, I would recommend this product
We had ordered 2 Inspiron 15R SE models after i checked out the demo piece in a dell exclusive showroom.
Obviously i was impatient to get it delivered to our doorsteps at earliest. And surprisingly i received both the laptops 3 days before EDD !!! Honestly dell.. it was a total surprise. Couldn't be more happy.
After using it for couple of days for almost all type of applications.. which includes gaming, post processing software, web surfing etc etc.. i have reached conclusion that we have hit a pot of gold for what we paid. Its not bulky, it has brilliant screen, audio is decent and graphics .. well with the little wonder HD7730m.. We are riding things with heavenly smoothness right now. And with keyboard with backlit adds a total charm to work with. And not to forget the honeycomb texture and stealth black colored body. Well we are enjoying being center of attraction for now.
Thank you Dell.
Hope you keep on providing even brighter products and services in future.

Review 19 for Inspiron 15R SE 7520

Title:
Poor build quality for the money spent.
PostedJuly 11, 2012
No, I do not recommend this product.
I received the 7520 model laptop yesterday and spent the whole day today testing it out. I really like the honeycomb surfaces. It adds a nice touch, but can be finger print heavy. The laptop can look a bit thick, but I already knew that when I bought it. I really enjoy the features that this model has to offer especially the switchable graphics. There are also three usb ports and one for power sharing. No problems with overheating or anything like loud fan noises.
The problems arise when I open the lid. The webcam has a square peice covering it that looks like it can be a cheap sticker. It was crooked and tilted to the left. I can use my nails to move it back in place, which makes me believe that the square peice is just a sticker.
Another problem is the power button. As someone else has mentioned, it is flimsy and mine was also crooked as well. The light around the border of the power button really shows how bad it is. It is not nice to look at every time you have to use it.
Now the worst part is the blu-ray drive. When it is closed, the tray wiggles about freely. When it is opened, there are so many moving parts (parts that aren't supposed to be moving). I feel like if I inserted a dvd, it would snap off the tray eventually.
Overall, the laptop perfoms well for my personal needs, but the build quality is definitely lacking.
Pros:school work, light gaming, video conversion, web browsing email etc.

For the price this laptop is packed with some of the latest and greatest from the laptop computing world. 6-8gb of ram and a i5-7 processor depending on the package you select will keep your applications running smoothly. The 2gb AMD graphics card will even let you play games in between work.
I always try to buy a laptop that has decent speakers, but laptops often get a bad image in that department. This an my previous Dell always get commented on for the volume and sound quality by friends when comparing them to their laptops. The backlit keyboard and soft keys are so much nicer to deal with than past configurations.
If you're looking for an all around laptop that has power, then this is a great choice. I'm more than happy with it.
Pros:software development, web development
