Question is self-explanatory, what are the best laptops for modelling (& why)?
I work in Infra / Energy PE space and very often I am working with huge / complicated Project Finance models , somtimes I need many open at the same time. Anyone in this sector will be familiar with the time wasted running macros & recovering files after a crash.
My company has given me the green light to get a new laptop to help mitigate this (no real max budget, but I don't want to take the piss so I guess GBP c3k max).
I don't care about keyboard since 90% of the time I use an external one. The main thing is I need a powerful device with a strong processor & enough RAM. I am currently looking at gaming laptops (such as Alienware) but not sure if these are optimal for modelling or not.

Dell XPS should be powerful enough to run what you would need.
Lenovo thinkpad carbon has some pretty beefy models in the lineup with 32gb of ram and hefty processors (I believe intel i9s). Dell XPS lineup also features some very beefy models (comparable ram and cpu) and imo is more visually appealing than the Lenovo.
My last firm accidentally issued me one of those beefy souped up Thinkpads originally and damn, are they thick. Immediately asked for an X1 instead. Would've hated traveling with that thing or even lugging it back and forth from the office.
What are you using currently? I work in the same space and my company has given me a Lenovo Thinkpad with 16gb RAM and an i7 processor. I can run debt sizing macros or sensitivities in 4 different excel instances with no problem. And these models are huge.
