Difficult choice. Buy vostro + external monitor or Asus + external keyboard. Both not very practical tho.

How about considering some older model like Dell inspiron 7447? But again, it is still 14" but kinda thick and quite heavy. Battery life also will be shorter since it is equipped with faster and more powerful quad core processor + GTX 850m.

Ouch cannot laa man, am only a student and I am gonna be bringing it to class everyday , and the reason I am looking for a new laptop is because I going to get rid of my 15.6' lappy and go for a smaller one. I only do casual gaming on semester break though, which is why FHD screen and backlit keyboard is what is more important for me bro. Haihz, I guess theres not many choice for a 14' laptop, the one that has perfect spec for me is either 13.3' (too small) or 15.6' (too big).

If wanna buy new notebook better get with skylake processor its make huge difference on battery life and performance.

I used to have a 7447 and now i have a 7559 now.

If i have a choice i would go for 7559

its not quite heavy its freaking heavy. The fan very annoying and loud but what i like was the removable battery

Surprisingly at the moment, all 14" Dell laptop doesn't come with FHD screen, but all 13.3" comes with both FHD and backlit keyboard. Tough luck.

7559 is always the best bang for bucks. However TS wanna change from 15.6" to 14", so it can't be helped.

go for K401. I have the K501 its surprising very light.

15.6 on a 7559 like carrying a ton of bricks but on K501 that like 1.5kg only

Yeaaa K401 is my first choice rn, K501 is awesome bro seen a lot of reviews bout it already, and the fact that it has a backlit keyboard , perfection. Lel *sigh*

U can customize Dell latitude 7470 with 14 " fhd ips display along backlit keyboard, but the pricing will be at least double of dell v5459 or Asus k401

Price aside, would a business laptop be able to handle a little bit of gaming? I would like to play GTA5 though, I know K401 would be able to handle it though . How much is the 7470 though? I dont mind to topup a bit more if its worth it.

Edit: but oh u said double lel, max I can topup is until 4k lel, am a poorfag

Uhmmm sorry for being a noob, but what's a skylake processor? I only know a little bit about these things lol, and which laptop uses it? Must be pricey, no?

another word it means its the 6th gen processor. Most latest notebook uses it

Refer this list for the notebook with skylake CPU

Price will increase a bit. But if you wanna take Vostro, then there is already newer model with 7th gen processor (Kaby Lake)
