Weight is important, current laptop weighs 2.2 lbs.; I'm willing to go to 3 lbs. Backlighting is VERY important. Battery life not so important. Chromebooks look interesting but I tried a MAC years ago & could never adjust to it so went back to WINDOWS. Thanks for any recommendations.
Just about any laptop would work for you. Why not stick with Dell? Too bad you could not adjust to a Mac. I switched years ago and it took a little getting use to but now I would never go back to a Windows operating system! I have had zero issues with our MacBook Air laptops for over 10 years. There is an Apple club here that would help you out. Just my opinion.
