Alright so i already did some research on my own, not much actually, through the web, word of mouth and over here too.
i'm planning to get a ultrabook/laptop, for programming/web browsing/normal useage in uni for years and that's it (no gaming at all). Specs doesn't have to be high-end, as i'm trying to keep within my budget of $700 ~ $1200. So for that budget i'm already more or less leaning towards the secondary market and DIY whatever upgrades i can myself.
specs that i'm looking for:
i5 or maybe i7?
battery life whatever the best i can get?
as light as possible
12'' to 13''
upgrade-able
Upgrade-able as in storage, ram or anything internally that i can do by myself, not looking for any boutique pc brands here knowing well that any laptop from them will well exceed my budget lol.

Saw most posts on dell latitude and lenovo thinkpad diy upgrades, question for the old birds here, will a macbook pro 2012 self diy to 16gb and 500SSD suffice in terms of processing speed for light programming and productivity work in 2018?
