Dell XPS 13: Possibly one of the more important traits for students who go with the XPS 13 is its’ excellent battery life! In numerous endurance studies, the XPS 13 has been reported to last up to 14 hours without charging. Furthermore, one of the biggest improvements Dell has made, as compared to its predecessors, is in relation to its much improved 7th-generation Core performance. Ultimately, this helps lead to a much faster overall performance versus older models. The Dell XPS 13 can be yours for $799 on the current market.

Asus ZenBook UX310: The ZenBook UX310 is a solid option for any student and comes at a relatively cheaper cost than the Dell XPS 13, at $699. In comparison, the biggest downside of this laptop model is its less than satisfactory battery life. On average, tests have indicated that battery life time is estimated at around 5 hours. On the positive side, though, the durable design has been widely praised! With an aluminum body and an excellent screen display, this is definitely an attractive laptop option!

Asus Chromebook Flip: With Chromebooks becoming a widely used laptop platform in 2017, engadget.com has given the Asus Chromebook Flip the distinction of the “King of the Chromebooks”.

Making it easy to transport from class to class. The screen display is described as being sharp and includes touchscreen technology. The battery life is no comparison to the Dell XPS 13, but at only $469, it’s definitely hard to beat.
