Since i'd like to connect it to a bigger monitor I think i'd need a usb-c port, since HDMI can only go up to 60hz, though correct me on this since i'm not sure.
Also no macbooks, i've already talked with my uni and they want students to have a windows or linux laptop.

Check out the Lenovo web site for Italy:
https://www.lenovo.com/it/it/pc
In particular, look at the thinkpad X1 carbon units.
They are very light with good keyboards.
Lenovo in the US is constantly having sales.
If you can contact a salesperson at the site, my experience is that they can offer you more than what the web sites show.

Just checked it out and for 2000€ (current price with lenovo Esummer or whatever its called) it seems like a complete waste of money, 14",no gpu, soldered 16gb + only 1 m.2 slot? No software included (neither office nor even a temporary adobe subscription), the price tag is absurd for what it offers (which is only an i7-12P, even if i did chat with support it's not like they'll give me a big discount.

Talking about Lenovo, the legion 5 seems like it would be better suited for me, although i'm not sure
