Coding Laptop

Hi all,

I am looking for a laptop that has just what I need to do programming on it. I am in school for computer science and as of now I don't need anything super powerful, I have a desktop and another larger laptop that is annoying to lug around sometimes. I want something that has a super long batter life and is as small as I can get it, I need it to primarily install GitKraken and JetBrains IDEs. Suggestions?

The Lenovo 100S, it is VERY small and the battery lasts up to 9 hours! It isn't powerful though, but it is SUPER cheap! :D

I am trying to avoid chromebooks. Don't like them very much.

X260 or X270. Longest battery life of any laptop. Best build quality. Get it refurb off ebay or Thinkpad outlet.

Whoa, seeing prices near the thousand mark. How much could I get it for?

about a 700. if that's too much for you, go with whatever is cheaper.
