yes, the wifi issue is bugged every1

i think they have learn a lesson not to design a spec that have short range of wifi coverage

just giv them a call complaint and they will go to your house change the current intel wifi adapter to realtek wifi adapter which is much much better and coverage also widen (as tested by me)

hi guys.. im planning to get new laptop.. after reviewing im interested on this vostro.. is it ok to keep charging this laptop since it come with built in battery.. im doing this on my current laptop w/out battery and just put it on standby when im away.. afraid if it may reduce vostro battery life..

normal DDR3 so dimm ram will do

only have one Memory slot, so you only could upgrade to 8 gb ram max

i am loving this machine, it compact fast and sexy,
i need some help through this forum!
my Scroll Bar isn't working from touchpad, :|
i have installed both drivers which were recommended by Dell
can you please help me?

Good to buy this? I've been wanting a Vostro but wanted to wait for 4th gen chips.

Yup, the 5470 has more or less the same look and feel as the 5460.
Except Haswell CPU, with Intel HD4400, (if applicable) Nvidia GT740M.

Slightly more expensive compared to 5460, and no Linux/FreeDOS spec.

how long its gonna take to be available in Malaysia market?
have been waiting for so long

i wonder if they fixed the wifi issue

Already available...

I wonder if we are going to get these or not...

http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/17/dell-in...00-inspiron-11/

since..when..did..they..launch..this?
i've been waiting for long but didn't see this thing coming

and, they replaced the problematic wifi card
"Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 2230, 802.11b/g/n + BT4.0"
with
"Intel® Centrino® Wireless-AC 7260 + Bluetooth 4.0"

anyone knows how's the difference for these two?

My guess would be AC speed based on the name...

how about the wifi range?
i believe previously some user reported that the older card is only for short range

hazremi, time to update in the first page

Inspiron 11 is here in Malaysia.
The rest, we may not get the full range.

hello, joining in

was planning to buy the 5460 @ RM2199 but now looking at the 5470 Touch @ RM2249.

reading up the thread, looks like the 5470 could be a better buy due to better wifi and definitely touch screen capability. afterall just RM50 bucks difference. never had a touch screen laptop before (i currently own an inspiron 14R which is dying on me)... any feedback on having a touch screen? don't think the shops are carrying any demo units yet?

The 5460 sept offer looks okay too, with free optical drive (ends 26 Sept). So I guess i have to make up my mind quick! does the SSD really make a difference? am only using the laptop to do casual surfing and play videos.

bear in mind:
1. 5470 core i5 doesn't come with touchscreen
2. 5470 core i3 is the only option for touchscreen
3. SSD is more than twice faster compared to HD.

you're right. was reviewing the specs too fast online. touchscreen is the one with i3 @ RM2149.

point 3 is challenging. so its back to touch screen vs faster processing..
but then again, its 4th generation intel, compared to 3rd gen for the 5460. pening-nya..

windows 8 best experience with touchscreen but its not frequently used
touchscreen vs SSD, i chose SSD.
why they dont come with combo package

too bad no demo unit yet.... if can touch and feel the touch screen, at least will see which one is more loved

hi, i have a question for 5460, is the weight the same for the one with gt630m gpu compared to the one without ?
