Hey,
Im looking to buy a laptop where portability is the most important factor.
Screen size can't be bigger than 14".
Very light gaming, close to none.
Mainly for programming with c++, Java, Python, Ruby, etc
Good Battery life preffered
My budget is close to $400 cad. No more than 500.
I hoping to get the zenbook but that's way out of my budget.
Recently i was thinking of getting an upgraded version of the Lenovo thinkpad T420. Lots of ram, and upgraded 1600x900 res, ssd harddrive.
I was also looking into the dell xps 2013 model (L322x), seems light,portable and within budget range.
Im not sure if these will be worth the money though, i was hoping you guys can help me out with that. I will post the specs and prices below. If you have any other suggestions do let me know please. (prices based on add on kijiji)
