      Apparently a 12 hour* battery life, according to Amazon.
      http://www.amazon.com/Dell-i15547-5003sLV-16-Inch-i5-4210U-S…

      I believe it's closer to 8 hours.

      Edit: and the most helpful review say 4 hours life on mixed use.

      • surm on 18/11/2015 - 00:23

        Thanks.
        According to microsoft tech specs, this laptop has an optical drive, but the amazon one doesn't seem to have one (from photos)

        That's a different machine, from what I can gather the model for this is Inspiron 15 i5558-5717SLV.

        Official battery is up to 7 hours.

        This seems to be identical to what's listed on Australia's MS store:

          Most specs are same as Dell Inspiron 15 Signature Edition Laptop - $699.

        • Lukian on 18/11/2015 - 18:25

          It's probably not better than the CPU model stated. Especially i5 vs i7.

        • Mixhael on 18/11/2015 - 22:00

          @Lukian: specifically, my comment was about the GPU. It out performs the 4700's onboard GPU by almost 40%.

        • teasatotalling on 18/11/2015 - 10:59

          @ce5himm:
          Yeah, that is the one without discrete graphics - mine got the AMD R7 M260 Gfx 2G i5-5200U, which I understand to be discrete graphics? It wasn't clear from their description, but I assume so because the Intel Motherboard already has onboard graphics.
          I also got it with Intel 7265AC+BT 2x2 No vPro, which has the additional wifi antennae for better connectivity
          Mine was $886 through the education store - was only $26 saving over standard
          I am hoping the IntelSense 1080p 3D webcam can stream television picture, otherwise will have to return. Trialled the stream on a MacBook Pro that has a 720p webcam and there was a constant 'white out' effect from the television picture (might have to turn the brightness down & the contrast up on the television though)
          I am hoping the discrete graphics makes a big difference for handling 'Extended Display' function - effectively one graphics card running two displays at 1080p (1. laptop, 2. television), plus it has stream the television picture live (will probably use YouTube LiveStream)

        • ce5himm on 18/11/2015 - 11:06

  • kees2000 on 18/11/2015 - 01:45

    The Inspiron 15 5000 Series (Advanced) model with 6th generation chipset is i5-6200U Processor is 899 on the Dell website, so it's not a true $400 discount. The old model is priced higher than the new one (even on Dell).

    This is $100 less than that, of course. (For the older model). It's a runout for an old model.

    Just putting this info out there in case it's useful to anyone. Still a great deal, but lower specs.

    • ce5himm on 18/11/2015 - 02:07

      i think this one is touch screen and might be full hd, while the 899 one is not.

          It can be daunting the first time you do it, but turns out it's pretty easy. Lots of guides online but effectively:

          1. Get a hard-drive docking station to slot the new SDD into (pick one up from MSY or online)
          2. Plug it into your new laptop
          3. Use Samsung's "magician" software (or any other) to clone a copy of the current HDD OS onto your SSD
          4. Take out the HDD and slot in your new SDD
          5. Enjoy your new fast and quiet laptop

        • beton on 18/11/2015 - 16:33

          The laptop will come with a windows 10 product key stuck to the bottom of it. At least they used to…

          You can do a clean install of Win 10 without any manufacturer bloat ware (if they are pre-installed such as McAffee junk).
          The windows media can be found online (legally) and the key will be used to activate it.

          Or follow the samsung magic software approach :)

          Something like this, just check that it's got its own power supply rather than being powered solely off USB port. One end goes in your drove the other is just USB.

    Just left the Microsoft store….didn't buy it. Can confirm it is a Full HD (1920x1080) touch screen (vibrant and bright enough, no comment on color accuracy), but it is a bit plastic and it flexes noticeably when picked up with one hand from one corner of the base. It has a rather large bezel and therefore is a pretty big laptop. You also feel the 2.45kg. I also found the touchpad to be a bit annoying, the pointer moving when I tried to click, this didn't happen with the XPS 13 and XPS 15 that was nearby.

    It's a good deal spec/pricewise, I'm sure you will either be able to turn down the touchpad or get used to it, it wasn't for me and my GF (was considering it for her)

    So I ordered mine around 8AM yesterday and my order still says "in process". Having paid extra for express shipping, I was hoping to get it before the weekend. Is anyone else in the same boat?

      Mine still says processing too. Hopefully it does arrive tomorrow

        Thanks for confirming this details. Is this laptop really worth for this price?
