Best college/travel laptop under €1.000

[ThomJV]

Sup folks,

I'm looking for a good productivity laptop for college and travel. I'm looking for the following things:
15" maximum screen size
LED backlit keyboard
Windows 10 OS

1080p or greater (preferably) screen resolution
Thin

Light

Preferably aluminium or other metal finish

 

It doesn't need to be extremely powerful, I just want it to be good for watching films on the go, basic photo and video editing, writing Word documents and basic web browsing such as YouTube, Amazon etc.. Thin- and lightness is also important, as I travel a lot and want to be able to take it with me everywhere.
SSD would be nice too, but I think most laptops at this pricepoint have one nowadays.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Regards,

TJ

The most basic configuration is 999€ as far as I can remember

'Productivity' laptops usually mean professional grade stuff with lots of IO, servicability and expandability. What you're describing there sounds like an ultraportable.

I'd say take a look at the XPS 13? In the future you could benefit from the thunderbolt 3 port and I think it looks way nicer then the Razer Blade Stealth.

The XPS 13 unfortunately costs anywhere between 1.500 and 1.800 where I live.

I found this Acer E 15 laptop for around 680 euros. I personally use the E 13 and it's really good.

TL;DR Kaby Lake i5, 128GB SSD, 1080p 15.6" panel, 8GB of RAM, GTX 950M.

Ik woon in België. Bij ons is de xps 13 op de dell site te krijgen voor 1100 euro en nu is er tijdelijk 100 euro korting boven de 900 dus het zou dan op 1000 euro uitkomen.

Heb net op de Dell site gekeken, klopt idd dat daar 1100 staat. Geen flauw idee waarom andere retailers hem verkopen voor 1500.

Bedankt voor de tip!

These laptops are reasonable and have great battery life sorry in gdp but I'm sure you can find them on your local site.
