Hello, as the title, I really need help i choosing between these two. I am an engineering student and I use laptop for the usual programming and designing software and on the semester break I usually do light gaming. So as for the Asus I like the fact it has a full HD screen and f or the Vostro I like it because it has a backlit keyboard . I am actually leaning towards the Vostro for its spec, but the only thing keeping me off it is the fact that it does not have a FHD screen and I read some review and they said that the screen seems washed out, most probably bcs it uses a TN panel. So can anyone help me choose? Or is there any other suggestions? I prefer laptop that has FHD screen, backlit keyboard, don't need SSD as I prefer large storage since I don
t like carryinh my hard disk around , must be 14' as well as portable ( since I bring laptop to class everyday) and long battery life. My budget is around 2.5-3.5k. THanks biggrin.gif

Here's the spec ,

i) Dell Vostro V5459-50814G-W10 2980 Intel Core i7-6500U 8GB 1TB NVD GTX930M 4GB

ii) Asus K401U-QFR064T 2310 Intel Core i5-6200U 4GB D4 1TB NVD GT940M 2GB

Totally wrong . Want show off form six math please a t least learn it correctly . You say y is imaginary then say it is real number really lol .

No one use imaginary number in real life cause dimension is build from 3 real number and imaginary number is just imaginary ?

you cant get 3k with 1080 .its pretty obvious...  well, i just said, better specs.. worth to wait...  gtx1080 is high end specs... but if 1050/1060, is is good enuf? no?

From your sentense "you cant get 3k with 1080" It mean "wont reach 3k budget with 1080 card" obviously it is wrong . You easily reach 3k with 1080 card .
If you want to say "easily reach 3k budget " then you should type " you cant get 1080(laptop) with 3k(budget) " not the other way around .
