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

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

LOL kayy people just asking, does anyone know of any 14" laptop with backlit keyboard? Since I am always doing work in the dark

Wait the Asus K401U has a backlit keyboard??!!! Are u serious? It's decided then! LOL I thought it didn't have a backlit keyboard

Lol its kkay, I do check out the Vostro tho

Haizz man, Vostro really have everything I need, the only thing bugging me is their screen tho

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).

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*

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?
