Hi everyone. I'm in the market for a new laptop. Budget could be up to $2500. I'd love to be in the $1500-2000 range, but don't want to sacrifice. My main use will be heavy Excel processing - nearly a million rows at times. I would really like a 17" screen, but I'm open to a 15" if the rest of the machine is right. I don't game really, but could see in a year or two starting to let my 9 year old play some games on it. Thanks in advance!
 
If doing complex calculations over large amounts of data you want enough fast RAM, with the best cpu and a fast drive. I’d aim for 32gb RAM and look for a laptop that comes out well for cooling, you don’t want the cpu thermal throttling. I don’t have any specific model to suggest, it’s been a couple of years since I closely looked at laptop reviews.
