1358008 2013-10-27 00:18:00 Something as light as possible with SSD, up to about $1000.
I do not need touchscreen or a screen any bigger than about 11-12 in.
Happy with a smallish SSD (64-128Gb) as wont be storing huge amounts of data on it
Happy to consider a cheaper machine and get it upgraded to SSD too
Dont really care if its Win7 or 8, a backlit keyboard would be a bonus though.

Start at $1449, otherwise would suit.

1358014 2013-10-27 01:07:00 My guess is you won't find what you are looking for in your budget. plod (107)

May look at going down the route of getting a machine with a standard drive that otherwise meets my requirements and getting a small SSD put in it
I asked at PB Tech about this possibility a while back and they are prepared to do it.
