Business laptop up to 1200

Nuttzz

Budget: Up to 1200 Euro, but have a bit of head room beyond that

Intended use: Work use. Office packages, Will need to write SQL scripts and stored procedures

Mobility: Generally not moving with it or going from office to car with the odd flight

Warranty: Standard warranty

What Operating System do you use? Windows is needed. Have used Parrallels on mac before

Own a 2012 Macbook pro and love it but hate having to run windows as a VM on it but I need windows for SQL and other windows only apps

Any help greatly appreciated

the yoga 7i is a very nice premium metal-build laptop

can upgrade ssd if desired.

ram not upgradable as is the case with most business-sized laptops these days but 8gb is good for most uses for the foreseeable future - will handle stored procs fine assuming the database is not a completely massive one stored locally on the laptop

Dell Latitudes have been my go too for the last 6 years, great machines and light

I bought a Toshiba Portege Z30-E-138 a year ago for under 1000.

I'm really happy with it.
