sifu, is there any way to upgrade for SSD and 8GB ram for 5470?
can windows 8 single language support it?

We (as a company) uses 20++ of this notebook not even one escape from Harddisk failure or IC board burn...

Yeah, definitely

The vostro ultrabook suffer from this

1. Harddisk failure (Eithe the HDD will die or the Board will fried)
2. Battery failure (New notebook barely last 2hours)
3. Fragile (Dont drop)

No problem getting Windows7 pro on vostro... but the ultrabook one really louzy... the normal vostro is good and solid

How come can't even see order for Latitude on dell.com.my?

You mean your company can get Vostro 5460 / 5470 with W7P?
Our IT has checked, Dell don't entertain. Anyway, for the previous batch, we decided to stick with Latitude E5430 for the juniors. Currently checking if Latitude 14 3000 is ok or not (cheaper than E5430), otherwise may wait for Latitude 14 5000 later this year.

Aih..this is kind of a bummer. I'm just a few days of wanting to get a notebook. Its between Acer and Dell now.

Thank you guys for the enlightenment...

1. Wifi - I hope they fixed it with the new wifi card

2. Processor - im pretty confused, but I see the differences section in CPu Boss and it says that the clock speed etc is higher on the 3337U..that's where I got the idea that its a downgrade..in terms of performance I meant.. Am I wrong here? Really not sure. In fact, I actually asked dell if they could swap in the 3230M..lol

3. thanks for clarifying on the RAM warranty thing. So, where can I buy this ram? Roughly how much does it cost? Any brand recommended? Should I opt for ddr3L if it even exists?

4. A single excel file of mine can go up to 500 Mb..with interlink calculations with another excel files and I use macros to run them. I hope the 4200u can do it...I was worried because I was comparing it to the 3230M..which I am not really sure how much of these Ghz I really need..

5. Inspiron is a huge chunk of technology..I travel much..so 2.5 kg and with my ipad is really alot of weight to carry around..that's why I was so attracted to this model..I feel it sort of balances power and mobility..I don't need so much power to do 3D gaming or whatever's out there...just power for multitasking..and database processing..

6. Also, where should I order from? Dell's website?..or anywhere else with the same deal and freebies would be a plus.

Thanks again bros..

You from dell for real?

I'm from Dell or working in any IT company / re-sellers lah

Should I:

1. Wait for Inspiron 7000 (and will it be a light like Vostro)?

2. Go for Vostro 5470?

1. The wifi card in 5470 support 802.11ac, so that's a tick on the future proof part. But the range still waiting to be seen 

2. Can't just compare clock speed, otherwise the old Pentium 4 would have been the champion (P4 is really shitty ). Haswell (ix-4xxxx) has slightly better performance per clock compared to Ivy Bridge (ix-3xxxx). As I mentioned, if you are really looking towards performance, stick with M CPU.

3. if you go with 5470, even though some re-sellers said otherwise, I prefer to stick with DDR3L. You can get DDR3L now relatively easy.

4. No problem lah

5. So you need mobility as well 
Personally, I don't think 5460 handle the bump and bruise of biz travel that well If you swap out the HDD with SSD, then it handle the bump better (also improve battery running time as well, on top of having a more responsive laptop).

6. Yes , can order from Dell Online (use chat button to negotiate).
Re-sellers in LYN garage sales threads also carry this model (can COD)

Thanks nexus2238..

So vostro 5270 it is..

So how much does a 8Gb ddr3L cost roughly? And any specific brand that is recommended?

Also, I can't seem to fine price lists for parts in the low yat website anymore unlike previously..just wondering how much is a SSD...but I won't go to that anyway..a few seconds extra boot time won't kill me..besides, I will already have the extra unused ram lying around...I don't want to waste my money having unused parts lying around..and besides, I always have backups of my files..so if the HDD is to go out one day, maybe by then they'll have cheaper bigger SSDs..lol

But for now, I'm really curious about the ram...I'm unable to go to lowyat or anything..as I'm actually overseas right now.

The price list in LYN is at the same old place, the menu bar 
http://www.lowyat.net/

8GB DDR3L RAM is ~ RM250-300. (btw, just make sure you said 1.35V)
SSD 128GB is ~ RM300-350.

I'll think the SSD will give you a bigger boost in user experience compared to more RAM. Not just boot time, but generally all the file and data access / saving (consider your Excel file size, make a difference when you open and save the files), page file (if user don't disable), all become a lot snappier.
But yes, SSD price is falling fast. Now I generally go for 256GB SSD at ~ RM600. 2 years ago that wouldn't get a good 64GB SSD. In 5 years, I fully expect the same RM600 will get us a 1TB SSD 

So if I get the SSD, I just simply replace the current hard disk..correct?

Don't understand your questions
If you mean if user could upgrade SSD for HDD and increase RAM to 8GB aftermarket, then obviously yes.
If you mean if Dell has any option for potential buyer to customise during purchase, in certain markets, it has spec that come with 128G SSD + 8GB RAM, just not in Malaysia yet

W8SL has no problem with SSD or 8GB RAM
