I'm looking for a new notebook. Until recently had a gaming notebook. It was heavy, loud and the battery was running out very quickly. For now I want a new one. As I said, I want to make music with it, so hang up with DJ software and controller. I would also like to produce music myself. It should also be a device for everyday life, so surfing on the couch, office, etc. With long battery life and low fan noise.
I keep stumbling over the Macbook Pro, but it's just too expensive for performance. You can't upgrade anything yourself. On the other hand, I find no other calculator in this format or they move in a similar price range. For a Windows device, I just do not see it pay more than 600 euro.
From P / L the best in the category notebooks up to 500 euro, found at Otto.de

Do not you wonder if the Windows laptop for 600 euro after 3 years slow as usual. But if you spend 2/3 of the price of the Macbook Pro, you can already get something decent. At Apple, you always have outdated hardware in the cheapest models, which is not much different with Windows laptops. The only difference is that you get hardware for 400 euro where Apple for the same hardware loose times 1200 euro must go.
Answers to your catalog of requirements can only be found in the notebooks that have been on the market for some time and in which the owners have spoken in forums because of problems that have occurred, loud fans, etc… Or because of outstanding quality about special applications is discussed.
Since notebooks lose a lot in value in a short time, you can buy a notebook that has cost up to 2000 euro, tested and tested frequently, where every detail is known exactly and you can choose the right one with peace of mind. They are excellently equipped with an Expresscard slot for 34mm or 54mm expansion cards, can often be expanded modularly and are used with warranty for 200 to 400 euro, rarely offered above.
Do a search with these terms "refurbished used laptops return laptops" and you will find many vendors of high quality business laptops from Lenovo, Dell, HP etc.
I have been using only used notebooks for 10 years and have not had any bad experiences. I gladly bought here: https://www.itsco.de/notebook-lenovo-thinkpad-t440p-intel-core-i5-4300m-2x-2-6ghz-20an-24434.html
If this path is for you, then I can help you specifically and recommend particularly suitable equipment.
A new device is actually always a risk, because only in use, you recognize whether it is well suited. That's why I hate to make a recommendation.
