Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. Need it for all the work and collage, we have sometimes 5+ h of classes and i need that battery life for multiple years (im freshman). Im thinking S14, MBP14?
Which country are you from?
Slovenia, probably going to buy used (more value)
I have no info at all for the Slovenian laptop market, could you share some models you have found there that fits in your budget?
For that price you can easily get used s14 maxed out or if you are lucky mbp 14. I was also thinking about g14 but i kinda dont have a usecase where I need dedicated gpu
In terms of build quality, battery life and premium feeling the MacBook Pro 14 is the clear winner, but you have to get used to macOS if you want to use it

You could also go with a m4 MacBook Air and save some money, or go with the Zenbook s14 if you can find it for a cheaper price. (if you prefer to use Windows)

If you want a step up in performance the Asus TUF A14 has very good battery life for a laptop wiht a dedicated GPU.
But i dont realy need a dedicated gpu i do some lol but even potato can run that. I need cpu, battery life, and build quality because i want to have it for at least 5+ years.
