Laptop for University

[JustAnotherIntelFanBoy]

Hello everyone, I'm currently studing computer engineer and i was looking for a good LIGHT laptop to use as my second PC.

 

I dont need an i9-16gb ram -1tb ssd system, currently i have a Notebook with an AMD C50,3gb ram and 500gb hdd and is relative "perfect". The problem is that it's  too heavy to take it to the university everyday.

 

Curretnly i'm using C and Python, for my assignments.

I know that in the future i will have to use Smaltak and Java. (I don't really know if this is important but anyway).

 

Space is not a problem. 128GB is enough. I will install a Linu distro, like Ubuntu or Lubuntu.
 

Extra info: I'm not going to use any 3D modelling app or AutoCad.

 

In summary i want a light laptop (with ssd, even a small one) with enough power to take care of these tasks.

All the laptos I've checked are a little bit expensive (like Surface 2 or XPS 13), probably beacuse of the I7 and 8 gb of ram.

Should I go after one of these, or is there any other one that I have to consider before deciding which one to buy? 

 

Open to any recommendation, I dont know anything about laptops and wich one is good these days.

(Sorry for bad english, if anything is not clear enough ask me an i will try to answer asap).

Thank u.-

I second @EMC. The LG Gram would be perfect.

As a computer engineer: get a refurbished lenovo thinkpad x220. You can find them with an ssd, 8gb of ram and an ips screen for extremely cheap. They are fairly light, reliable, sturdy and well designed. The keyboard is great.

Where are you from? Budget? Preferred max weight and min battery life?
