So I decided to bite the bullet and get a Dell Inspiron 11 3000. Not sure if it will be a better choice over 5470. Good thing I can always sell it to another friend who is looking for such laptop.

Too bad it will arrive sometime middle of November.

because of the weight.i went to the PC Expo at mid today.tested both.inspiron is definitely much heavier than vostro. i might choose the feather-light vostro than the looks of inspiron so it seems. 

Happy 5470 w7 user here..no prob regarding wlan so far..

dell malaysia ubuntu OS (free dos)..

haiz..nvr thought of it..

seriously, no one find that vostro 5470 will auto dim the brightness of screen whnever there are the screen has dark color?

couldnt even find a solution for it..

I have just ordered my vostro 5470. Estimated time of arrival will be on this 21st. Cant wait!

Dell Vostro 5470 has an mSata slot?

try chat with sales assistant, but only offer me free external hdd, no discount...

for caching.

An mSATA drive is a solid state drive that has a very small form factor. It looks like a large integrated circuit, it's basically an SSD without the 2.5" housing. It originally was a relatively small size, typically 16 GB or 32 GB, and was used to cache the hard drive. That is, it would hold the initial boot files of the operating system and the most used application programs, thereby speeding up the boot process and some program load times (depending on how much cache was in the drive). However, now with larger mSATA drives of 128 GB or more, they can be used as a regular SSD to hold the operating system on instead being used to cache a hard drive.

Ah I thought so hahaha, impossibru so cheap 
Do share your experience over here, write a short review

But the wireless card is weak, not an issue for you? 

you can call dell service to replace it with another wifi model

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...

Hi there, how's the battery life on the Vostro 5470 on WiFi doing surfing and light work? is it able to reach 4-5 hours of usage?

Bro, buy the highest spec 5470. it comes with 32GB SSD but touch screen. I suggest u chat with the Dell sales assistance while ordering. They said can ask for discount.(not sure right or not)

Thanks for the info.

Don't see any retailers selling the i5 touch screen with mSata. Anyone see it anywhere? Prefer to collect it than wait for delivery. Am in kl for the holidays.
Also no option to upgrade ram on the website. But on the spec listing it goes up to 8Gb ram. Can the sales rep offer option that is not listed?

Any dell sales rep you can recommend?

Is there a physical shop in lowyat where I can test this laptop out?

Hi. I just brought Vostro 5470.. So  far no prob with wifi.. It just a touchpad is slow? Is it normal?
