Touch screen is absolutely not necessary.

I will be using it to simultaneously run a stock market streamer as well as about 10-15 streaming stock charts + MS Outlook + about 3 different browsers

So far I have looked at the Lenovo T460p with an i5 processor that seems to fit my budget whereas a Dell Inspiron 13 7000 series is about $850 with an i7 processor. Is it fair to compare these two models? Are there any others that I should be looking at?

Your comments and suggestions would be much appreciated...thanks
The T460p doesn't align with your weight requirements, unfortunately. The T460s comes closer, and should be feasible at your price point.

I'm not knowledgeable with the current Dell lineup (burned too many times in the past), but I'm sure others here will chime in.
