I'm thinking of getting the 5470, been reading through this thread and notice quite a few issues which makes me a little hesitant to make the purchase.
I've been trying to compare this with others like HP 14-N060TX, Asus K451LB, Acer V5-473PG, each has their own pros & cons. What do you guys think, should I just get the Vostro and hope I don't run into issues like bad WiFi, heat, lcd problems etc? |

Basically from what I gathered in reading thru this thread, the main drawbacks of the vostro 5470 are
- Poor wifi (can be solved by getting Dell to replace the network card?) - Can't replace hdd with ssd Are there any others which I might have missed? |

QUOTE(hart932 @ Feb 28 2014, 01:40 PM) Gonna pick up my Dell 5470 this afternoon. For me the problems can be solved but I can't shave off the weight with other brands. Weight, screen size & price is my criteria. Other brands for i5 4200u & 1.5kg is gonna cost 3500-5500k without GPU summore in some models. Is there a physical shop in lowyat where I can test this laptop out? |
