Looking for help to buy a workstation laptop please

    First of all I would like to say thanks again to everyone here who helps people like me. I feel like you guys should be rewarded, the work you do is fantastic. I still see the same people here from 5 years ago helping out people like me. You really are the good guys in my opinion.

    I have a decent PC that I got help with building here in early 2017. It prob needs an upgrade at this stage (I will be back here asking for advice on this soon) but runs so well and I love it. The best computer I ever had and I will never buy a prebuilt PC again. Ty.

    At the moment I'm looking for help to buy a laptop for working on when I am abroad or away from my home please.

    • I use resource intensive programs so processor, cache and ram are important to me mostly. The more powerful my machine, the better the processor and RAM, the quicker my jobs will run.
    • I would like a min of 32gb ram but ideally more. 32gb could do where I do some light work on laptop when away from office.
    • A bigger display would be handy so 16 inch+ ideally but I also have an option of using monitors.
    • I do not play games, I might play civilisation once a year for 2 weeks straight but then throw it away as it takes up too much of my life, apart from that I rarely play games anymore. So I think I can save some cash on the graphics card maybe?
    • I want windows 11
    • I do not really need much space on the hard drive, 512GB to 1TB is sufficient for me.
    • Maybe I left out things that are important? I am not great at this stuff and only have rough ideas of what I need.

    My budget is €2000ish max. Ideally I would like to buy something for €1500 or < in the sales. I just wanted some direction from you guys please? I can google search and youtube search the best workstation laptops in 2022 but thought I would come here and ask first as I have had a great experience from last time therefore a lot of respect for the people here and the advice they give regarding buying and building computers and laptops.

    Thanks a million for your time.

    I changed my mind after realising I am not crazy about laptops after using one over the Christmas. I much prefer a good PC and will just wait to update my current one when the time is right.

    Thanks Guys.

    if your use to and can manage and swap out components of your pc your better doing that as you can easily switch a keyboard - mouse etc and the gpus are more powerful

    laptops are like prebuilds there there and ready to go and no building to be done and less space - which has led to desktop replacement laptops / with all the releases in the next month or 2 there should be a lot of options out there
