Hey I wanted to know if there are options for a lightweight durable laptop .
Preferably there should be option to put in my SSD without voiding warranty, a backlit keyboard and decent battery life. If possible should be able to run DOTA 2 for the occasional gaming , but not a primary concern . I will run mainly ArchLinux and mostly will do coding and development work on it.
Few of the laptops I have short listed :
Thinkpad-E450
Pros:
The build and durability.
Trackpoint [which i enjoy on my current TP]
Cons:
No FHD display
No backlit keyboard
No dedicated GFX card.
As per online reviews battery life is not the best .
Lenovo-U4170-80JV007GIN
Pros:
FHD display
Backlit keyboard
Dedicated GFX card.
Cons:
Touchpad seems a bit questionable .
Battery life ?
build is okish.
No DOS version.
If you have any other models in mind in this range then also am open to it .
Thanks in advance
