Need new laptop

[Shyam Ganapathy]

I was looking for a new laptop to take to school, I don't care about the performance, its only going to be used for like microsoft office and chrome, but I need good battery life, and a decent keyboard.  Also I don't want to spend too much since my parents are paying for it and times aren't so good right now.

Never experienced it but people like the surface go so try that.

I've looked into it, but the problem is that I use the laptop on my lap a lot and I can't really do that with the surface go.

Dell XPS are beautiful laptops that will last years.

 

If you don't want to spend much, get a machine with an i3/i5 and then buy an SSD and it will be great for your use.

Agreed, I had an XPS 13 and absolutely loved it. Currently on an HP Spectre x360 and it's not even close, build quality is much worse.

I have a Surface 4 and I use it on my lap 90 percent of the time and it works pretty well

Where are you from? Budget? Prefer min how many hours of battery life? Any preference on weight and display size? Mind low sRGB display and non-upgradable RAM?

United states, Budget is flexable but looking for bang for the buck, 7 hours min battery life, lower weight is better, screen size should be 13-15 inches, screen should be decent dosent have to be amazing, but need big trackpad, don't care for upgradable ram.

Since you prefer light weight, I'll exclude 15 inch models
