laptop with matte screen - suggestions wanted!

[MrDodge]

I absolutely hate the glossy screens on most laptops, so I'm really struggling. Here's my wishlist:

• 
  matte 14-15" screen, no touch
  would consider HD screen, but not essential
  128-250GB SSD
  Haswell i5 or i7
  8GB RAM
  light - reasonably portable
  Windows OS
  wireless AC
  at least 1 USB 3 slot
  SD card slot
  no DVD
  min 6hr batt. pref more
  backlit keyboard
  not interested in games, mainly Office, email web browsing
  budget around £1000

Any suggestions appreciated!

I would consider the Dell Latitude 5000 Series:

You the price is low enough to leave you room to purchase your own SSD drive and install it.


There is also the ThinkPad T440s which is probably closer to what you are looking for (no DVD drive, and lighter), but costs more; £930.99. That base price does not include the optional SSD upgrade nor does it include the optional Full HD IPS screen (1080p). Additionally, I do not believe you can upgrade the RAM since it is soldered in so if you do not believe 4GB is enough, then you should upgrade it to 8GB. All these options will push the price close to £1,100.
