I'd go with the Surface Laptop 2 unless you really didn't like the keyboard/touchpad. Second choice would be number 3 but I'd be tempted to look at what the equivalent options with a newer processor were ( like this for instance https://outlet.euro.dell.com/Online/SecondaryInventorySearch.aspx?c=uk&cs=ukdfh1&l=en&s=dfh&sign=PXhcOSHtr1T4IOw%2fPR7UdTnUc3x6y7QkqB767MpfufOFLWLPxV4nQYMVSt%2fQLsghwJWO5I7bzL6VlTltMoQx13b04%2bxH5fsHA4psQm3mB9o30smFg%2bx3EOnHKKvnQynADjAlp9G9Oeh0ulzm9AvGr7xfbXsRQh9imck%2b8omVQUuaQ11J4jMkYM6srkWUIn95iAuYtfeEdj%2ffxBIE8kzaLOEKuZQIlbtyt3odeGlMzVV6lsuxAvR%2bIw%3d%3d )
Or just follow the tips upthread and get a second-hand X220 for £150 like everyone else.

Should I go for a surface laptop 2, a Dell XPS 13 9343 with QHD and touchscreen, or Dell XPS 15 9550 FHD? These are all used.
display - €600
There's pros and cons to each so I'm having trouble deciding. The surface has the nice screen, good keyboard and 3:2 aspect ratio, but awful I/O and wouldn't really be repairable or be able to do a battery swap.
The xps 13 is small and portable and has a nice screen, but is a bit older than the others.
I'm a computing student so doing a fair bit of programming and college project work. I want a laptop because the desktops in class can be a bit hit or miss, logging on each class takes quite a while and just for ease of having everything in the same place.
