Which laptop would you recommend?
The minimum information is below.
Should be a business laptop for studying.
Budget 600 euro (can also be used)
For which degree? Would now recommend a different one for studying graphic arts than for studying computer science.
Laptop or convertible?
Experience has shown that because of its stability, I can recommend ThinkPads very well, these are really business devices that also give you student discounts.
Look at https://www.campuspoint.de/ for example. Alternatively, there are also many used and refurbished ThinkPads (for example, as a leasing return) that you can find on the Internet.
Which Thinkpad exactly?
Chemistry
E14 for example. It depends on how big and whether you want new or used.
I would want 15 inches. I have a budget of 600 euro, if you can't get a new one with it I would probably need it.
The ThinkPad E15 would only be 15 inches from 650 euro. You can find used older models a lot cheaper. But of course it doesn't have to be a ThinkPad, it was only my first recommendation because it was stable. Cheaper: The new IdeaPad series from Lenovo should also be quite good. Otherwise HP Envy series for example. There are endless possibilities, just filter for at least 8 GB of RAM and the 15 inch. Most current notebooks are up to the requirements mentioned.
I found a Thinkpad e15 on the Campuspoint website. Can you take a look? https://www.campuspoint.de/lenovocampus-thinkpad-e15-gen2-20t8000mge.html
The price would still be possible.
Yes that looks good! Otherwise this would be e.g. Also a variant:

ThinkPads are more expensive compared to "normal" notebooks because they are more robust, more suitable for retrofitting and e.g. Have a better keyboard. In terms of performance, there are no real differences from other models. With the IdeaPad, for example, you have more battery and more hard disk space for the same price, but you can't upgrade any RAM. What is more important to you is up to you. However, as I said, you will meet the requirements with both devices.
Thank you so much!
I would not retrofit anything. I have to use the laptop for at least 3 years.
Which of the two would you have chosen?
The ThinkPad is more upgradeable. For you it doesn't really matter, maybe the other one makes more sense because of the larger memory and longer runtime
