As an office notebook, Lenovo T480s is nice (1500 bucks, but it's worth). If this is not enough, you could think about Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon - it has a better display with HDR Support, which is very impressive.

Things you should care about are:
- Good Linux support (Lenovo is well known to have that)
- Good display
- NVMe SSD (not msata or m2 sata)
- As much RAM as possible
- Quad Core CPU if possible
If you would like to play games, you could think about an external graphics card, then Thunderbolt is required and should be the highest version possible.
- 0xferruccio 8y agoI’m not really into gaming and would use cloud services for big computing tasks. Solid advice on the specs! I don’t want to waste time figuring out hardware compatibility to be honest, so I’d pick something not too high end that is widely used. Thinkpads and Lenovos seem like a good compromise
- sandreas 8y agoBeware that Lenovo has different series of thinkpads... Take one of the following series: - X => high end - T => good value but still top technology - L => budget but still business line and good specs
- svennek 8y agoYes, and even more important: Thinkpads and "Lenovo"s (non Thinkpads) are two vastly different beasts. The former being great, the latter "meh".
