Just finished my testing on the battery life.

Machine Spec: Stated in my signature
OS: Stated in my signature

Settings:
- 100% brightness
- no screensaver
- power management turned off
- WIFI connected

1. Turned on my laptop without any power from the adapter.
2. WIFI connected automatically.
3. Leave it as it is on my desk.

Result: It can last approximately 3.5 hours (left 5%)

Other Findings:- The heat is very minimal.

But Inspiron 14 is much much heavier. 2kg if not wrong.  shocking.gif
I guess the most popular reason people buying this model is for its slimness and lightness.

True.
I wont consider anything thicker than 20mm or heavier than 1.8kg

Battery is one of the concern but my priority is on the fast boot and lightweight smile.gif
Thanks for your info on the battery life smile.gif

Wow
Thanks for the feedback
So i think its safe to assume it can sustain about 2 hours if surfing and do a heavy task rite?

You assume that amount of time.

Perhaps tweaking the power management will help to gain extra few minutes? Anyway tweak around with the setting to find the suitable one..

just my 2 cents.

yeah, pretty much 2 hours and less...
Even the ULV version is having problems keeping up in terms of battery life@ around 3 hours or so with WiFi + songs + web surfing hmm.gif
The battery capacity is pretty small... still, can't really expect too much since the Vostro is so slim and light nod.gif

Update: After a few days playing around with my friends Vostro 5460, I've noticed that apart from the cheap feel of the touchpad. The finishing of the edge of the palm rest connecting to the bottom of the notebook (right below the touchpad) is pretty sharp.. making it somewhat uncomfortable (and even painful) after prolong usage hmm.gif
Mouse recommended laugh.gif

Basically most of the edge and corner are sharp. I don't know how QC check the bottom case, should not release to market. I use hard metal to rub to sharp area and now more comfortable to handle. mad.gif

Hi, from what I see in the dissambling video, the HDD is a slim one (7mm) I guess, is it possible to replace it with the normal size 2.5" SSD? will it fit the bracket and the bottom cover??

Do you mean you already has the Vostro 5460?
You can use the Dell Datasafe blah blah blah (you can find it as an app already installed) to create DVD recovery disc.

need owners here to confirm if it is 7mm HDD (won't be surprise it is, probably why it is only 500G (biggest capacity so far for 7mm HDD)).

If it is 7mm, you better get 7mm SATA SSD to replace the HDD. Crucial M4 (7mm), Crucial M500, Intel 320, are popular 7mm SATA SSD models.
