won't I get problems with programms of school?

We would need to know that programs you are using. If the program you need is on MacOS there are literally 0 downsides.

Battery life would be decreased by what people said so...

And again not really unless you are running in Windows.

It's unlikely that MacOS does not have whatever programs you require. And even if it doesn't, your battery life won'y be impacted so servilely as that it will be unusable Inside of Windows 10. Its not like the GPU will remain at 100% clock speed if you aren't using the GPU. 

 

You could also contact the school and ask what the programs are that you will be using.

How bad will be battery in mb pro?

Is ZenBook reliable?

Using Windows? Not that great, I'd say around 4-5 hours.  Using MacOS? Around 7-8 hours.

 

Zenbook is reliable,  you can probably find reviews of the Zenbook you are looking at on YouTube and on the web.   I almost bought a Zenbook Pro with the 960M but opted for an Alienware machine.

The MacBook runs Windows natively. Nothing doesnt work 

I meant with battery life.  The MBP wasn't designed to work perfectly with Windows, but the other two are.  It's their native OS.

 

For example, on Lubuntu I cannot use a lot of my laptops features, but on Windows, its native OS, I can.

Actually it is. 

 

A MacBook is no different than any PC. Bootcamp just provides the drivers to make it work

Okay, I'm not going to get into an argument with you over this.  

 

A similarly specc'd Windows machine will most likely work better with Windows than a Macbook Pro will with Windows.

 

Heres a video of the late 2016 MBP running Windows.  She basically reviews it.

From what she is saying I dont see any issues. 

 

It just becomes as basic as any Windows laptop without any of the cool stuff that Macs get and Apple has updated Bootcamp since this dated video.
