New 14'' Laptop Advice

debsjc

I'm looking for a new laptop, that is small & light enough to travel with, but still suitable for everyday use at home.
I would like it 14'' and under 2kgs, with a fairly quick processor, and if possible under £650

I'm looking at the Dell Inspiron 700o, the ''14-7437''
but one thing I don't understand is it says ''Starting weight of 4.4 lb (1.99 Kg) with HD touch screen / 3.88 lb (1.76 kg) with HD non-touch'' ... however when you go through to configure the system it does not give the option of the touch-screen or not, am I missing something?

Are there any other systems out there that might be a better option for me?

*eta* 1 more i'm looking at is the HP Pavilion 14-n204sa TouchSmart Laptop

Hey

I would go dell over HP, ive got a top end dell xps, never had any issues the best thing is there after sales support and just if you need anything they are very good.

Windows 8.1 or 8 its cool to have the touch screen but its gimicky in places.

A nice feature but tacky.

From personal experiance stay away from Hp there just not reliable enough. I work for a company who re sell dell for businesses, everything is dell. Easy to maintain, easy to deal with and robust and reliable.
