Hell LTT

I want to know which is the best laptop for programming under $1000.

Since i don't wan't to take mi 17" laptop to uni, i want a lightweight 14" -15.6". Also I would like the laptop to have a great keyboard

It will be used for C++, JavaScript and other programming languages.

literally any laptop that can open Notepad++ and has a Keyboard + screen will work.  maybe an HP stream?

maybe go for a nice ultrabook? like a xps 13?

You can program on pretty much any laptop. But in your budget, I would get an XPS 13

I was thinking on getting a new pc, sell my current laptop and get a new lightweight one

I guess the XPS is currently my first option

Just another question, if I get the XPS, should i chose the one with a 1080p screen or the 1800p screen?

Hi I'm a uni student studying Software Engineering, although you can program on any laptop I'd suggest getting something highly portable, with an decent amount of memory and with an SSD. If you're using C++ you'll probably be using Visual Studio which can take time to load on low budget lappies (Java with eclipse isn't so bad). I use a Dell Inspiron  ultrabook it was expensive but well worth the cost.
