Pro 2 preferably.
I bought an XPS 13 and have no regrets. I still take notes on pen and paper, but I use my laptop elsewhere if I need to actually do something.

A 2 year old Elitebook with 8GB RAM and a 512 GB SSD

unless you're gonna study something that will require you to do some heavy image/video editing, the power is okay for most tasks (and if you got a "write a program that computes something" assigment, just leave it overnight)
the battery life is unmatched and the price is quite low

Find the cheapest laptop with an i5-6200u.
Replace HDD with SSD.
Done.
I did it 4 months ago with the i5-5200u and ended up paying a total of $420 for an i5-5200u, 8GB ddr3, and a 120GB SSD. Screen was shit though.

I personally either get on a lab computer, or just remote into my desktop.
Try again. Doing heavy work on a laptop does suck.
