Time to upgrade and was somewhat surprosed how well my 9yo laptop specs stack up or am I missing something?

 


SAMSUNG CHRONOS 7 TOUCH (NP780Z5E-S01UB), i7-3635QM 2.4GHz, 8GB, 1TB, 1GB ATI Radeon
Only mod in that time was swapping in a 500GB SSD when the 1TB harddisk kicked the bucket.

 

Any recommendations for an upgrade?
14-15inch display
USB C monitor/power connection
Preferably 2TB SSD not less than 1TB
Budget 2-3K I guess (dont mind less if thats a thing though)

 

I have a fairly high spec HP Elitebook for work that works fine - nothing special either way. Intel i7 - 8650U 1.9GHz @ 2.11GHz, 16GB RAM.  
Pro - no fuss seems functional with thing like USB C power/monitor single plug
Con - several colleagues needed replacement including batteries swelling and popping the cases on a couple

 

No gaming but some video editing.

 

Or should I be holding out for something in particular at a big sale event.....

 

Cheers

If you have that kind of money get an HP Zbook Firefly 14 G9

Or 15 id you want a laager screen, touch and dedicated graphics will get you close to 3K
