Good Laptop for Penetration Testing?

I'm currently looking for a good laptop for penetration testing. When it comes to the budget, I'll let you talk to me, of course, always the best value for money, I'm thinking of around 1000 euro, but could (if there's a clear difference) also go towards 2000 euro.

One important thing should be mentioned here: I will use an extra device for password cracking (with several graphics cards, etc.). So the laptop doesn't need full power here.

What might be useful would be a good touchscreen with a pen, so that you can easily mark things or draw yourself in reports.

In my opinion, good Wi-Fi (for Wi-Fi pentesting) and of course good "usability" in general, ideally an anti-reflective display, SSD, etc…

I would be very grateful for some suggestions.

You want to connect several graphics cards externally to this laptop?

So I already support all of your views (well thought out). The one with good Wi-Fi shouldn't be a problem, it depends more on the Wi-Fi stick. I use a Razer Blade Stealth 13 2019 for pentesting and get along pretty well with it. But I'm of the opinion that every X-any laptop goes for pentesting, as long as it is not completely old, since pentesting is actually not hardware-critical. So I'll probably get the Razer Blade Stealth 13 2022 again when it comes out, but as I said, you can use other laptops.

Well, as I said, this is an extra device just for password cracking
