Basic laptop with backlit keyboard UK

[Kirky2k15]

Hi all, I need a basic laptop with a backlit keyboard because I use my laptop mostly at night when people in the house are asleep and I can't turn the lights on in the house so I'd like to have a laptop with a backlit keyboard but I'm having a hard time finding a cheap one...

 

I don't need anything too amazing specs wise...

 

but an i3 with a 1080p screen would be a good start and 14 - 15.6 inch

 

13 inch is too small

 

17 inch is too big and it needs to be quite light weight.

 

Budget £400-£500

What would you think about a T430?

 

They are pretty old but they are still very capable machines, they run on 3rd Gen Intel chips and can support either an XM or QM CPU. Depending on which one they still outperform 7th Gen CPU's, they support up to 16gb of ram which should handle most tasks with ease. They can even be configured with 3 storage drives and the legendary XX20 series keyboard for a god-tier typing experience. The only "bad" things is they don't have backlight keyboards for the XX20 series, but the T430 still has the Thinklight so there aren't any issues there anyways.
