I am currently looking for a business grade laptop and having problem on choosing either the new Dell Vostro 14 5000 (5459) / Dell Latitude 14 3000 (3450) ~

Here are the requirements:

1) Good for programming and documentation (I am a final year CS student)
2) Ultraportable 13 / 14 inches (I dont really need optical drive)
3) Some light video / photo editing (No need for gaming because I already have a gaming desktop)
4) Decent performance which run program fast without loading for too long
5) Budget 3K

both of those laptops are good for your need
choose 5459 if you want thin design and lightweight
choose 3450 if you care about battery life (this laptop can last up to 8 hours while surfing vs around 5 hours for 5459)
