Hi guys
I'm looking for a laptop for school that has good battery life and is lightweight enough to be carried around campus, without having a super high price tag.
I realize something like a hybrid tab or Chromebook fits this criteria great, however my only other ask is that it is able to run CAD software like SolidWorks to a decent performance level, thus I cant get a tablet or chrome OS machine.
If possible, nothing over £700/$1100
Thanks :)

HP ProBooks are the option I am going to recommend. Particularly, the 455 G1. Get it configured with AMD A8 CPU, and dedicated Radeon graphics for a very reasonable within-budget price. Plus, they're quite thin and light, and have great battery life. They'll also perform quite well.
