Which laptop to take?

Question

laptops

I want to take a 13 "- 15" laptop and deliver an ssd there to replace the desktop computer.
If I understand correctly options 3:
replace hdd
replace dvd by purchasing a special pocket
find msata connector in laptop and just deliver ssd
What laptops would you recommend with msata connector?
Need i5/i7 ivy bridge processor but models with tdp 17w like 3317u etc. I think weak, or am I wrong?
video does not matter, as long as the external monitor 1920x1200 works fine
good keyboard, especially the arrows of a normal size, it's cool if there is a backlight
screen 13 "-15", preferably matte, but not necessary, I will work at home with an external monitor
dvd is not necessary
Well, I would like to spend up to 1000$
The laptop will stand on the table, but sometimes you want to take it with you without any problems.
Of all that is on the market, I liked the Lenovo y580 / v580. But I never found information about the presence of msata in them.
Thanks for answers )

Answer 1

Lenovo Edge+ E220s or X220
The same Dell Inspiron 14z is available not only with i5-3317U, but also with i7-3517U

Answer 2

I bought a thinkpad t420 for 500 bucks on eBay. For complete happiness, only an IPS screen is missing, and an aspect ratio of 16:10 would be more pleasant. I haven’t seen a better keyboard anywhere, although I would certainly prefer a complete analog of the desktop layout with a cut-off numpad, but I didn’t come across such ones.
There is also mSATA, but I preferred the option with a hard drive instead of a divider. The keyboards with Russian letters are successfully bartered by the Chinese (40 bucks), but so far I seem to get it.
Only there is Sandy Bridge, and in t430 they have already pretty much spoiled the clave. However, there are models with discrete graphics of average lousyness, but for other purposes, Ivy Bridge does not differ much.
Too heavy for 14", but there is a light version of T420s with some disadvantages (mainly in terms of battery).

Answer 3

Any laptop can be upgraded by replacing dvd with hdd caddy, there are both sata and pata caddy.
