What type of work are you going to do? Coding, animating, modelling, office, etc.

What kind of schoolwork? Just Windows Office use or something more power using?

a little bit of code, some video-editing. One of my keypoints are good battery life, very good screen and a very good trackpad.

Yeah that seems like a very solid choice! Go for it!

@Arty @Jerombolo @zyntaxable  , im thinking about buying the Dell xps 13, the most expensive one. http://nl.hardware.info/productinfo/279050/dell-xps-13-9343-9343-8468/reviews

Take note it doesn't have much storage or power at all. You could look into a laptop which has a dedicated GPU for GPU acceleration and gaming.

 

It's not a bad laptop in the least, but I'm not sure whether it's the best choice you can make.

You don't need anything hardcore for a laptop in school.  I did all of engineering with a dual core relatively low end laptop.  Go for thin and light since that's the most important, and if you want to game have a little desktop that you leave in your apartment.  Have 2 chargers for it so you can leave one at home and carry one with you.

 

External monitors are also mandatory.

Great choice.  Broadwell battery life is insane (I have a 5500U laptop) and at least it's not a shitty 1360x768 resolution display.

Well, there's reviews there(in Dutch) and scores for a handful of laptops.

(of course) the macbooks are on top because of some reason and HP also got some fanbase which I never heard of before or their product is legit.

(this one: http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/436748/hp-spectre-x360-4031nd.html only has 5 star reviews including one from Tweakers' staff)

 

Don't know it though so I don't recommend it.
