yeah, anyone? i'm keen to know too. especially on its wifi capability .... since 5460's wifi sucks

Not yet kua haha, even if someone ordered one on the 1st day it was released, it will still take some time before it arrives.
And yes, the WiFi range on the previous 5460 is pretty bad laugh.gif
The new one should be better, otherwise they wouldn't bother to change the card in the 1st place haha laugh.gif

I am planning to buy similar laptop from dell which is 5470...my main concern would be the 3cell build in battery...can anyone give some advise?

Concerned about short battery runtimes or exposure to heat? hmm.gif
The 3-cell battery can easily squeeze out ~4 hours of usage I think, which is pretty impressive thumbup.gif
As for non-removable battery, it should be fine as long as you don't expose it to too much heat i.e. provide proper ventilation~
Though it might be difficult to avoid the heat in the variant with the GT740M GPU hmm.gif

Is this suitable for some med gaming anyway?...as for the heat i think could be solved with cooler...my concern is when i need more juice when its only 3 cell... sweat.gif pampered with 9 cell batt....and you cant purchase one battery on ur own

Slim notebooks are never good for gaming, regardless of how efficient the cooling is advertised laugh.gif But seems like most people nowadays don't really care haha, most are more concerned about the slimness and outlook nod.gif

A cooler won't help much with heat dissipation unfortunately, not when the heat is trapped inside, and the Vostro doesn't have too much air vents underneath ... Air conditioning might help though laugh.gif

I don't think there's much you can do to prevent battery degradation except to try and reduce exposure to heat lo hmm.gif
