College laptop

[nicholaswillems]

Hey guys,

 

So of course I need a laptop to go to college, but the amount of laptops available is pretty overwhelming.

 

My budget is around 700 - 800 euros.

 

I will be taking my desktop as well, so I don't need the most powerful thing to game on or render videos. Depending on the price, an i5 is good enough, maybe an i7 if I want to last until I leave college (+- 9 years).

 

Storage: an ssd is preffered but of course, whatever my budget allows.

Screen: as long as it's not terrible, if it can be IPS, it'd be nice of course.

 

Size: ultrabooks are nice but can get a rather hefty price tag it seems, as long as the laptop is not too heavy.

 

And the keyboards on laptops seem to be the same scissor switches on all of them, I don't know if any brands/laptops have noticably better ones? (I'll be using my mech when not in class though)

 

Thanks

Sadly it's almost double my budget, or am I looking at the wrong one? https://tweakers.net/reviews/3920/dell-xps-13-ultrabook-met-een-gouden-randje.html (website in dutch)

There are non-touch variants available, and they are quite a bit cheaper.
