I will start Informatics and i need something with a good battery life and capable of some light gaming.
I have stopped on dell xps 15 but it's too expensive. I can go as far as $1200/$1400...
I've been told that i'll have to run Visual Studio in tha campus, so I don't think the desktop/chromebook combo will work
Thanks in advance.

Dell Inspiron 15, 7000 series. Got mine for ~$800 and it has a great battery life, an i7, and a GTX 960. Fans are a bit louder than I would like though.

I am an academic who has written two books and about 1000 words a day of research, along with all the online activity I need, on a the cheapest possible netbook that is now close to ten years old and doing fine.

If your program forces you to use a particular ide, it's shit. Plus it's not like you'll be given some complex project with hundreds of files.
I did 3 years with a Samsung Chromebook (the ARM one) running Arch with crouton. Then I used a thinkpad x201t with Debian. Anything that I couldn't do on my laptop I'd do at home
In short please don't spend over $1000 on a laptop. If you must you might as well by a MacBook pro and call it a day. The 2015 Chromebook pixel is pretty sleeper, /g/ just doesn't know yet. You can pick one up today, new, still in box for $400 when they retailed for over $1000
