Ugh, I was already looking at the Dell Inspiron, but then I totally blanked on how I'd actually grab an i5 version for $1067

Then again, over here, it's just the usual $1833 😁

This Toshiba looks pretty sexy, but honestly, if I'm already dropping $4,000, maybe I could just toss in another $200 and go for that Acer with the backlit keyboard... I guess I still need to chew on it for a bit. Anyway, thanks for the reply!

Location: Indianapolis - Washington, D.C.
Budget: up to $1167.
OS: no OS / Linux.
Screen: 15.6 inches or smaller, I guess.
Purpose: Web browsing, Microsoft Office, MATLAB, programming, music, and video.
Gaming: gaming : Hearthstone.
Battery: maybe somewhere between 4 to 7 hours.
Important: a wifi card that supports packet injection | making sure the machine works with Tails.
Portability: pretty average, though I’d prefer something lean and thin if possible.
Luxury: honestly, I wouldn't mind paying a bit extra for a backlit keyboard.
Warranty: 2 years or more, ideally.

Thanks.
