Question 1

Is the 1TB Storage Drive the 5400 or 7200RPM?

Accepted Answer

Weird how they installed Windows on the HDD.  I was told by Dell the SSD was going to be the boot drive on all these computers.  Even my AW 15 has windows installed on the 128gb SSD.  If I had to guess I'd say some tech had a bad day and just screwed up.

Question 2

how is it fan noise wise i see that it is not thin witch could be a good thing for the noise but in not to sure?

Accepted Answer

Depends on if you are asking while during game play (also depending on the performance of it) or just being on the laptop in general. (Internet, etc)

If you are playing a game consistently for long periods of time, you'll start to hear the fan doing its work, but that is normal..

other than that it is very quite..

It is a very nice laptop, it performs very well as much as a high performance desktop does.

Question 3

Does this model now comes with 180 w power adapter or with new 240w adapter?

Accepted Answer

It comes with the 180 but if u call dell support once u get ur laptop they will send it to u for free

Question 4

I don't not see anything about a removable battery. Are you able to remove the battery on this laptop, also I see that windows is installed on the HD anyways to request it being installed into the SSD?

Accepted Answer

1) the battery is enclosed inside of the case
2) I did not have this problem with mine, OS was installed to the SSD drive.
