Hey everybody,

I need a laptop for university, mainly programming (c++ and matlab) and reading PDF files.
Maybe you guys have any good recommendations for me :).

Here are my criterias so far:

 

-size: 11-13 inches

-operating system: linux

-battery life: 6h+ (actually 8 would be great)

-resolution: 1600x900 or 1920x1080

-keyboard must be good

-halfway decent trackpad
-64-128gb ssd

-lightweight

-pricing: 300-600€

-no gpu, integrated graphics are sufficient

 

I hope this is enough information to work with.

Any help is appreciated :D

I dont know of many laptops that come with linux pre-installed, so you will most likely be looking at a windows laptop that you can just install linux onto
