Hi. So I will be buying a laptop today and I wanted to ask you for some opinions. I will be using the laptop mostly as a coding laptop, with unity, visual studio and possibly some photoshop, alongside needing it for use at school (word, powerpoint etc) so a large batterylife is somewhat useful. I want to be with a good battery life and to hold on a lot of time before battery runs out. My Budget is £300, I would appreciate any help other than options I have provided. Screen quality is also important however 1366x768 is the only option with under £300(unless chormebooks)

Extra storage is nice but battrery life should take precedence.
Ive done some research and I believe I can add 4gb more RAM to each of these systems, I would appreciate if that knowledge could be validated.
Thanks!
