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

u barely feel the difference
since the absence of nvidia card will be replace with intel graphic card

dont think that the intel gpu is replaced

why?
vostro does not come with dual graphic card.
if ur model comes with nvidia, then the space is occupied.
if ur model dont have nvidia, then how suppose your laptop work without graphic card if there is no intel graphic?

i remember that someone saying about nvidia optimus in which we can switch to intel gpu for light work

i said, its for dual graphic.

what i am trying to say is the intel gpu is built-in in the cpu or mobo, so the nvidia gpu is something "extra", so i am asking how much will the weight be different for the models with and without nvidia gpu?

Already available...

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

is it me or there's not much of review on vostro 5470?

Too new i think
Its just up for 2-3 days

the built and stuff is the same as 5460 right?
just upgrade on processor and graphic card?

Hi guys,

I've been following this thread silently and thank you for all your feedback on this model.

1. I am looking to buy one but I'm unable to decide between the 5470 and the 5460. I like the processing power of the i5-3230M so I don't mind considering the 5460. However, I find it silly to own a brand new laptop that has wifi problems and I would have to use a dongle with it.
u should go for 5470, by assuming that they fixed the Wifi issue. currently there is no user review saying that 5470 have fix the problem. but as hardware spec, assuming its get better. better try something 50-50 instead of go for 100% unsatisfactory.

2. Everything else in the 5470 is attractive. And it looks like its aimed at improving battery life with all the Low power parts in it. I contacted dell but it seems like they are not able to customize the specs. Only part I don't understand is, although its equipped with the latest Haswell, although its the latest, and the most efficient per watt processor to date and some say that even though the clock is lower than the earlier, it is able to match the clock speed with its efficiency. However, with what dell has to offer, I checked out the specs of the chips online, and it seems like even the latest i5-4200U is more like a downgrade of performance compared to the i5-3337U.
comparison between processor: i5-4200 win source
overall processor ranking: i5-4200 win source


3. Also, regarding the earlier posts and warranty, dell said if I opened it up to replace the ram, it would void my warranty which contradicts with what I read earlier in this thread.
yes void. but only void for ram only. ram have less than 0.1% of failure case reported. therefore, i would ignore it.
other parts is still under warranty.

I've been disconnected from technology for ages and I'm still using a 12 yr old Intel Centrino M laptop until I've decided to upgrade, I just started to pick up a few days ago. So do help me out here if I've mistaken in some stuff.

There will definitely be no gaming with this laptop and most of the time it will be used for Excel files that sizes around 500Mb with tons of calculations,multitasking with the Internet, and some adobe illustrator and photoshop. There will be no watching videos here either. In my point of view, I decided on processing power for long term sake so that it could keep up with what I may need it for..instead of battery life where I can live with it as somehow it it can still manage at least 2 hours.

I suppose the illustrator and photoshop you do are not too intensive?
The Excel file (1 file 500MB? or all your files combine 500MB?), ULV / ULT CPU could handle it. You need to worry about RAM if the photo / graphic files that you edit are big size. FYI, if you are using newer version of Adobe suite, quite a bit of functions are utilising GPU

If you are someone that is looking for more firepower rather than mobility, then maybe 5460 / 5470 is not best suited for your need 
For example, if you want to stick with Dell, this 14R has larger battery for longer running time, more RAM slot for you to upgrade.
Inspiron 14R, i5-4200U + Nvidia GT740M@RM1849 [2.32kg], 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), Linux, 6 cell; W8@RM2049

2. "i5-4200U is more like a downgrade of performance compared to the i5-3337U" - not true lah

3. It's actually quite easy to get to the RAM slot for 5460 / 5470. I've not seen any "warranty void if broken" sticker on the RAM slot. The problem is that it only has 1 RAM slot 

Between Latitude and Vostro, I suppose Latitude is more solid and that of higher quality?
