Laptop Suggestion Please

[cctaylor88]

I'm looking to get a laptop/"ultrabook" for somewhere around $500 give or take a few if need be.

What I'm looking for:
SSD
i3 at the minimum
At least 1080p (can you even get an IPS sub $700ish?)
Backlit keyboard

I'm not too fond of having a touch screen etc. so I don't need to worry about that. I won't be doing any heavy gaming on said laptop, but light gaming isn't out of the question by any means.

Is that bad boy backlit?

Nope. It is a very very decent laptop though.

Would you mind elaborating for me? Do you personally own this unit by chance? It does look fairly nice, although a bit bulky perhaps

N/M it is backlit. lol. My friend has the previous generation one. Exact same model but 6th gen core i5. Also the ssd is M2 which means the hard drive slot is empty if you want to add extra storage.
