Thread for owners of the Dell Inspiron 15R - N5110 .

My Setup :

- Samsung 4GB DDR3 1333MHz
- NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M 1GB DDR3
- Seagate Monemutes 500GB 5400RPM
- High Definition (720p) WLED Display
- 6-Cell Lithium-Ion battery
- Dell Wireless 1702 802.11b/g/n
- SRS Premium Sound

================================================

Review :

I love the look of it very much and I love the Mac-look keyboard , The screen is 720p and I have no problems with it .

My setup is similar to the XPS 15 setup and I'm really impressed with the performance of this notebook .

It's my main computer , so I spend 24hr on it and it never crashed or anything , I have an external mouse ( Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 1000 ) so I can't say about the touchpad but seems nice .

The keyboard is so smooth and never mistyped with it ( Unlike the garbage I have on my Celeron rig ) .

About the gaming performance , As I said this is my main computer so I only game on it , I finished Crysis 2 , Black OPS , DiRT 3 with very good graphics settings and I plan to buy BF3 and MW3 soon , I wanted 1080p screen but gaming would be awful !

If you have any questions just ask.

I will update this thread with gaming benchmarks and everything.

Does your brick say its watt output on it?
Mine doesnt.

[Tsunade_Hime]

Watts = volts x amps.

If you have the Intel GPU N5110, you'll have the 65 watt AC adapter. If you have the discreet graphics N5110, you'll have the 90 watt AC adapter.

Thanks Tsunade. Has anybody changed thermal paste?

[Geos1]

I changed my thermal paste to Prolimatech PK-1. -4C in CPU -7 in GPU. Maybe i overapplied the paste on CPU. My first time!

Discrete graphics + i7 will give you 130Watt adapter like me

The first time it took me like an hour because i was stuck many times on how to remove the parts because i didnt want to hurt it. Nw i can get to the heat sink in less than 10 minutes.
