I had found my solution, need to select F12>Boot mode setting>Select UEFI with secure boot

Result is I got 15sec until Win10 load. But if I restart it require 30-35sec to enter Win10

https://techsol27.wordpress.com/2016/02/07/...ws-boot-repair/ this link is helpful for someone who need boot repair

Enable secure boot, maybe its windows problem, if you dont have EFI folder, maybe the bios is searching for i thats why F2 and F12 is appeared. Should check it.

Hello people, im Dell 5448 user, upgraded RAM to 16GB and 512GB SSD(Samsung 850 PRO), since the processor is Core i3, i think i can beat macbook pro 2012 performance as im installing mac osx on it.

For the wifi problem faced by 5447 and 5447 user, you can fix it by changing the WiFi card, like me, i changed to broadcom mac compitable card, and it fixed the issue.

[attachmentid=6964258]

I can say that this model is good. It has same keyboard as 7447 which has backlit keyboard, i changed it which price RM85 only, bought from Dell China. I also changed the screen to 1080p (which dell 7447 has the version too), i can conclude that i dont regret buying this laptop. recommended dell as its warranty can be extended.

But the issue for now is,  The battery life is not good since it has small battery, thats why. I'm planning to get a bigger battery but its not available for this model.

Yep it works, no problem at all. Just need to change wifi chip to dw1560, now its work (handoff,continuity,airdrop,bluetooth,and even sleep!). I've been watchig this model (insp 5447) but in dell website doesnt have stock anymore and released new facelift (5448) with new broadwell processor with lower power cosumption BUT with core i3. But for me, it works well without problem. Theres no problem with this model expect wifi on the standard configuration.

Errr....what you mean by ddr4 bro?

if you mean the graphic, it pack with GTX 960M 4GB GDDR5.
if you mean the ram, it only supports DDR3 ram.

The battery life never perform what the advertisement says. 8-10 hours? no.
6.xx hours, if i turned on the battery saving mode.
4.xx hours, if i no turned on.

But mine plug in with a m2 ssd 1280.
The battery life still 4.xx hours if no battery saving mode.

fyi,
my spec is i7 but no 4k touch screen.

You mean your M2 SSD costs RM 1280? That is really expensive.

But won't removing the back cover and placing it in your laptop void the warranty?

Basicall you had someone instal it for you, correct?

I have always had the understanding that if you add internal parts, you are voiding the warranty. Guess I will check with Dell before purchasing it.

I want to buy SSD bla bla but my only request help me install. Settle?

as i mentioned look at the seal. if there a seal then dont open it. if 1 screw only means its intended to let you open it.

Adding internal parts, in my understanding, does not usually bode well with companies. They would prefer to sell you the internal parts themselves, to make profit, which is understandable. My family used to own a few Dell desktops and laptops, and I remember (vaguely) asking them this question a long time ago.
