Moin, I'm a student, 16. I'm looking for a laptop.
It should definitely be like this: -compact, be able to keep up for many years, be practical (connections, equipment)
Which processor?
Which operating system?
How much can the laptop cost?
Compact and many connections are mutually exclusive. If it's compact, you simply don't have enough space to have all the connections you might need multiple times.
And keeping up for many years is relative. If you only need it to start an Office product, pretty much any new device can do it.
But if there are also games to run on it then you are easily 1500-3000 euro and still dissatisfied.
Counter questions:
available budget?
Gaming or not?
For a smaller budget, I would recommend a business notebook from one of the well-known refurbishers.
Chrome Book would be missing from you or a MacBook is also available from other companies such as b.s.w from lenovo which also produce small and compact laptops or asus
but chrome books are really great for school stuff if you take one with chrome OS you will have a nimble notebook for years to come because chrome os is very nimble
