• Total budget:

700 Euro / Germany (Can be just a little bit more flexible, if the difference will make a major difference.

• Are you open to refurbs/used?:

No

• How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?:

The most important aspect would be the performance. It'll be used mostly plugged in.

• How important is weight and thinness to you?:

Doesn't matter.

Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.:

The bigger, the better, but I'm also aware the budget is limited.

Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run:

• I own a desktop to run the following softwares, but sometimes I need to be mobile, so I'm looking for something that can handle Blender 3D, Unreal Engine 5, Substance Painter, Photoshop, etc.

• If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?:

The priority on this laptop is not gaming, but it would be ideal if I could also play old games such as Skyrim, etc.

• Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?

No.

• Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.

Feel free to suggest over budget laptops, if you think there's a good deal going on.
