can someone please explain me this : 15.6 inch LED Backlit Display with Truelife and HD resolution (1366 x 768) - For ICC ????
 
I'd recommend Inspiron 15R Turbo edition as i bought it myself, check my thread in same section
i bought with base 1 tb hdd so that i can remove that and use a samsung 840 ssd, and use the 1tb as an external connected to my Asus router to download torrents, dont buy the SSD with laptop as it will be a OEM samsung SSD and is quiet expensive, where as you could get a samsung 840 which is better at a lower cost

Hi

i've been using this since 1 week got it delivered on 26th, i use it for mild gaming and managing my VMs through SCVMM administrator and basic email and chat, and daily dexter sessions

Pros :
1) on 1920 * 1080 Screen is awesome, a lot better than my work latitude E6420
2) Backlit keyboard is really helpful when im working at night with low light or during power cuts
3) Good battery backup on balanced mode but on high performance it barely lasts 1hr
4) Good Build quality, not too plasticy
5) AMD 7730 easily manages to run games like CS:GO at max settings and second life
6) Skullcandy speakers are awesome they offer sufficient bass as well, liked the soundquality on this one compared to my cousin's XPS 15's JBL ( again depends on music tastes)

Cons :
1) Heavier than other ultrabooks out there
2) Machine heats up quite a bit on extended gaming sessions
3) Touchpad surface area is quite big for windows 8 cos of multitouch and tile and the scrolling sometimes gets cumbersome, nothing that high sensitivity wont fix
4) The speaker placement higher would have helped as its slightly downward
 
Which Dell model you bought, can you give me the link and at what price you got.

I am planning to buy next month.

He has bought a Inspiron 15R Turbo edition, I want that link. Rest as per the post the config is same.
His keypad is back light but on site its chicklet keyboard and I am confused on this, so wanted to confirm this.
Even want to know about FHD and the resolution.
