Just ordered an Inspiron 11 3000 series with 4yr Pro Support Warranty. Took advantage of their EPP, less painful.
Will upgrade its HDD to SSD and 8GB RAM. Need to take advantage before GST implementation. Hopefully will give years of good and reliable user experience. |

Will pop into AllIT and buy the RAM and SSD. Dell is quite liberal in their warranty policy as they do not stamp their warranty sticker all round the laptop.
Using one from my company for work. So it is no issue to upgrade it ourselves. They may have changed but all AFAIK, Dell is quite "open". Will update again once I get it on hand. |

Finally received the unit from Dell!
The unit is really solid and well built. Not bad for this budget and the flexibility of the various mode and touch screen is a game changer. Now not sure whether want to upgrade the HDD to SSD or not as the performance is quite snappy. |

QUOTE(pandi @ Apr 14 2015, 11:43 PM) Where to get Inspiron 7447? Malaysia , Selangor. Why not try to buy from Dell direct? At Digital Mall there is a Exclusive Dell Distributor shop, you can get it there as well. |

Finally upgraded the HDD to an Intel 530 SSD!
The performance difference is night and day!! Really staggering! Single most worth while upgrade. Between SSD and 8GB upgrade, the price is almost the same but the gains are not. Still kept the RAM at 4GB but hands itchy to bump it up to 8GB. |

Spent about 300 for the SSD as i on hold the RAM upgrade. Now after SSD upgrade, do not feel the need for the RAM upgrade as the speed of the SSD is staggering. From cold boot to password login screen in less than 10s. Doubt a RAM upgrade to 8GB can beat that.

QUOTE(tupai @ Apr 16 2015, 08:16 AM) Just got myself a new inspiron 14 5000 last week. Intel i5 5200u, 8 gb ram, 1 Tb had hybrid, 4gb r7 m270 graphics with touch screen. Why never consider the Vostro 14?At first wanted the i7 version since the i5 non touch has only 500 gb had and 4 gb ram, but I was informed by the sale person at the dell shop at lowyat they have the i5 version with touchscreen as well but the rest of the specs the same as the i7 version. The only regret so far is that with touch screen, the laptop is much heavier compared to the non touch. price wise, cannot compare with February price with the weak exchange and gst. Too bloody much. |
