What laptop would you recommend? It should be as good as possible for as little money as possible, preferably discounted during Black Friday week or on Black Friday.
  • At least 1 TB SSD
  • At least 43.9 cm / 17.3" display
  • At least 32 GB RAM
Additionally desirable (if available):
  • As quiet as possible in operation
  • Energy efficient
  • Not a gaming laptop
  • Absolutely NOT from Lenovo or Medion
Would this be good:

They appear to be a bit more expensive than the ones above. Yes, if money was no object it would be much easier, I guess.

Many thanks!

Can't go wrong. Robust, good build quality, reliable.
I've never had any problems unless an old drive goes bad. Other than that SUPER reliable, easy to upgrade. I've repaired Dell Mobile Workstations for people that were hard on keys and upgraded WIFI components, upgraded screens to 4K, etc.

These are very well-made, well- built PCs.

Hospitals and Mission Critical institutions use these for a reason. 👍


PRO TIP:
If you don't need BRAND NEW, you can get a lot more bang for your buck going used or refurbished.

Thanks a lot!

Yes, they look great. But also pretty expensive, unfortunately.

Yes, but brand new would actually be what I would like to get, thank you.
