Oh well.. It is now 21st March, I have been to a PC shop in One Utama and came across Dell Vostro 5470-20452G(1.54kg) RM2,249

Seems like the price is higher than anywhere else, at least it is more expensive than Tech Hypermart.

I have read the last 10 pages and got to know that there are two types of Vostro 5470, one is laptop the other is Ultrabook. Any chance the ultrabook already available in Malaysia market by now?

I will probably getting this (if no one suggest other better alternative in the same price range) from Tech HyperMart or Dell official website but here are the things I want to change and wonder which one of them can do for me:

1. Change the ram from 4gb to 8gb (I know its single slot)
2. Change the OS to windows 7 as I havent used windows 8 before and dont feel comfortable with it from the look (apparently from Tech Hypermart DOS version is available)
3. Possibly change the wireless card to Realtek =P
4. Change the HDD to a working brand of SSD? (anyone tested out which brand is supported?

Basically these are the issues in Vostro 5470 I collected from this thread.

Or maybe I should buy the 5460 or to find the highest spec of 5470 as suggested by someone?

1. I upgraded to crucial DDR3L 8GB, bought from low yat (startec) for Rm223
2. Win7 alright
3. Got connection problem with WIFI, will only look into that later due to item 4
4. Wanted to install win7 on Samsung 840 evo 120GB SSD but couldn't boot into USB disk and USB CD ROM, waiting for a solution. May try to clone the original HDD to SSD t see if it works.

Will post the result later, didn't expect so many problem for the upgrade. 

U are using vostro 5460 or  5470?

What ssd brand/model are you using with yr 5470?

Lucky you. I haven't been able to get my finger scanner working. I have installed the scanner driver from Dell but didnt know where to download the reader software. Hope other owners can shed some light on this?

Thanks for the software, Bro. I configured the PERSONA software to read my print but how do you get Win 8 to boot up with MS account with it?

Can provide step by step guide?

hi, i am consider this 5470 model too, i am thinking of get a SSD and swap with the original HDD, but does the fingerprint scanner works well after you changed to Windowns 7 in SSD ?

thanks for sharing.
