My budget is about $700.
 I don't need a touch screen, I don't need (nor want) Windows 8, and I don't need any tablet capabilities.
 Just a super-light, well built machine that can handle VERY basic workload (Outlook, light Excel, internet surfing, etc.)
 This is purely for work; anything entertainment related gets done on my IPAD.
 What (I think) I need:
 Core i5? (don't know if I can get away with an i3?)
 Windows 7
 minimum 4GBs of RAM?
 256GB SSD
 1080P resolution
 Backlit keyboard
 I was thinking of just trying to find a 2012 or 2013 model Lenovo, Acer or ASUS that is either still available new or is refurbished, on EBAY.
 Any specific model recommendations, thoughts or guidance here is greatly appreciated.
