New Laptop 2 in 1 for University

[dandyrow]

Hello

 

I need recommendations on what laptop I should buy for going to university.

 

I would like a 2 in 1 (surface, spectre, etc.) so I can take notes during lectures with the pen and use the pen during photo editing in lightroom and Photoshop.

 

I also would like to do some light gaming ( cities skylines, black Mesa, Skyrim  SE, no man's sky) as can't bring my gaming rig with me as it is huge!

 

The course I'm doing is a computer science course so I would like one with a couple that can compile code speedily.

 

My budget is £1500

 

Thanks in advance

Preferred max weight, display size and battery life?

Size 13 inch or 15 inch really. Not too heavy not really sure what exact weight and good enough battery life to get through lectures with plenty of battery to spare so anything upwards of 6hrs.

Can consider Lenovo Yoga 720/730 15, HP Spectre x360 15, Dell XPS 15 9575, Asus Zenbook Flip (MX150 or GTX 1050)

 

Or tell me what you've found

I had looked at the spectre . Do you know if the pen input is as good as it is on the surface pro? Also is the Vega GPU in the kabylake G as good as a 1050?

The pen is good enough

 

Vega GL is slightly faster than 1050
