Hi guys, is it normal that I need to press the power button quite hard to turn on my Vostro 5470? At first I thought it was broken but it seems that i need to press the power button quite hard. In my situation, I need to push the button deep until it sounds 'click', then after that I need to further push it until the light comes out...

Can this be used as the ssd for the Vostro 5470?
It says NOT compatible with Mini PCIe slot for WWAN/wireless cards.
Will it work on our Vostro if I purchased it?

Msata half size it almost identical in size with wireless card

what they mean is Msata card cannot function when you install into wireless card slot...
