Dell Latitude-e5550 (Broadwell) - keyboard problem
HI, everybody!
I bought three laptops same types (Dell Latitude e5550, i5-4310U, Intel HD Graphics 4400, 1920x1080, RAM 8GB, 500GB ) from two different shops and they had the same problems with the keyboard. I returned successfully all of the laptops and I bought another (fourth) from the first shop whose version is newer(Dell Latitude e5550, i5-5300U, HD Graphics 5500,1920x1080, RAM 8GB, 500GB Broadwell) then others. But it has the same problem.
Keyboard problems :
1) when I typed a button(no matter which button was typed), and I released the button, the symbol appears multiple on the screen.
2) sometime, when I typed certain letter - for example 'c', successfully (no multiple) and after that I put my hand somewhere on the laptop frame, but not on the keyboard, I had the previous problem - multiple typing appears again(the last typed symbol).
I also want to ask about the working temperature and the battery life.
The laptop(Broadwell) working temperature is between 50 - 60 degrees Celsius (and above sometimes) when I am not starting applications or running only one "weight" program.The previous laptops never exceed 45 degrees Celsius or they were exceeding that temperature very rarely(when I am using more applications).
I tested battery life today and the laptop worked at about three and a half hours.
It worked with 60% of brightness and it was idle during the most part of the working time.
I used LibreOffice Writer and some web browsing, but I didn't watch any clips.
The laptop comes with brand new loaded OS Ubuntu 14.04.01 LTS.
I installed the newest version of Ubuntu, 14.04.02 LTS but the problem with keyboard still existing.
Please, if somebody can help, to reply to me. Thanks !
Regards

Hello, would you do a comparison of model with i5-4310U and i5-5300U. Which producer are matrices, battery, noise, speed. Does the backlight bleeding.
P.S. I have i5- 4310U/FHD with a matrix of Samsung-SDC4C48 and have backlight bleed at the bottom. I don't have a problem with the keyboard.
