Hi everyone,

 

I am go to studie economics in Switzerland next month, a part from that i do some video editing (mostly in Full-HD and more simple stuff) for some companys to gain a little bit of cash.

 

So i need a new laptop because my Surface Pro 4 is really struggling, and the battery is at 0% after 5hours. And im not really satisfied with this laptop after two years so no more Surface Pro in my life.

 

What i need:

 

-.Enough Power for simple video editing

-Long Battery in Office Work: min. 7h-10h per day 

-13inch not more

-a Bright Display to work outdoor

-USB-C (even better with Thunderbolt 3)

-Future Proof for the next 3 to 5 years

-Good keyboard (the Butterfly Keyboard is okay for me but not the best)

- A Display with good resolution min. 1440p

-Easy Log in with Something like Windows Hello or Fingerprint scanner

-And not thick

-Good Design (because in Switzerland it´s like 80% have MacBook and 20% a Surface, so you really and outsider is not one of them)

-Preference for MacBooks (not the Air) or Surface (not the Pro)  Devices and no Huawei Devices (or all kind of Laptops who copy the design of a Mac, because i found that stupid) 

 

-Eventually enough power to play sometimes a game of CS GO a 60fps low resolution (just for fun not competition)

 

-My Budget: 1300€ or 1.461 USD

(You have to know that i can get as a Student in Switzerland the devices much cheaper, as example an device who cost 2000€ (2248USD) i can get it for 1600€ (1748USD)

748

That´s all

 

I hope my english is not to Bad and i thank everyone for the answers

Do Not buy a Macbook. From the thermals to the battery issues and keyboard failures that sparked lawsuits and the broken T2 chip, it's easily the worst Macbook in the past 10 years. 

 

Look at business class devices. The Lenovo ThinkPad series, Dell Latitude series or HP EliteBooks. They are vastly superior to the cheap commodity devices and far more durable and reliable.

Fine with 14 inch? Fine with a good FHD display? (WQHD/UHD isn't that useful in such small display, and eats up battery life)

 

Any links of online stores?
