Laptop with backlit keyboard and good 15+screen

[413x]

Currently trying to decide between laptop and tablet for mainly sofa based use

What I want is a backlit keyboard
Good screen in regards to resolution (higher than 1366*768) and appearance.
-most laptops look washed out to me due to owning ips panels
Big touch pad

The hp probook I have for work 6570b is nice except for no backlit

An ok gpu would be nice nothing to beefy needed

Price. About 500 ish second hand

Would hold fire on that, as Lenovo are refreshing their range at the moment over to Haswell, its y510 now, and also a y410 is a good buy

Looks a good shout. Seems a little on the pricy side!

Is there anything else similar?

The bay has them under 500 from the states

Why, pay with credit card/paypal if protection is offered. Enquire that item will be sent via courier tracking.

I just ordered a graphics card from Singapore. Read reviews online that said vendor did not deliver/issues with items etc dating back to last year. But as the guy prob sells thousands of products a month there is always going to be instances of unhappy punters.

As such, I bought through paypal protection after doing my research and item arrived 2 weeks later that was fully tracked throughout.

Saved me £50 from buying in the UK.

It's not that. As you say there is paypal protection.

It's more the lack of any warranty and more so being stung with VAT etc

They come with 5 year warranty ask for the item to be posted gift

I can't see anywhere where they are sub 600. I wouldn't have thought I could get a laptop through on gift
