    If you are buying used it makes sense to buy a build system because this way you can get the best deals. If someone is selling one part for 80 and you try to haggle it is unlikely that he will give much  , but on a 400-500 € System you can haggle down more because they will still get a good amount of money

    Only 16 gb ram( non expandable), windows runs like trash on bootcamp( i have nightmarish experience of running cad on a macbook pro 15) and only 512gb storage( non expandable, also not worth expanding due to proprietary storage), FYI the whole computer is sealed so data recovery is a no go. For CAD it would suck due to thermals. 
     
     
    Also don't blindly recommend  macs for everything, be open minded when comes to needs of the user and use case.

    Please, please don't try to shoehorn MacBooks into recommendations when they don't apply.  I'm a Mac user, but I'm not going to insist that someone gets a Mac if I don't really think it fits their needs or they clearly prefer Windows.  Don't let your sheer love for a platform colour your judgment.
     
    The 16-inch MacBook Pro is a great machine, but it's at once utter overkill for the OP and not enough.  You're basically asking the OP to pay more than $1,000 above the price of that discounted XPS 15 for a system that's clearly more than enough for media editing, but not optimized (in hardware or software) for games.  And frankly, it's rather odd to complain about fan noise when you'd get that with some demanding media editing tasks, whether you're using a MacBook or a Windows laptop.  So long as the OP sets realistic expectations for performance, they'll be fine.

    You again, he clearly mentioned playing games. Could you stop spamming "get a macbook" in every thread?

    Yeah I could but I'll probably just wait for a laptop that checks all the boxes

    'Productivity' laptops usually mean professional grade stuff with lots of IO, servicability and expandability. What you're describing there sounds like an ultraportable.

    This one looks pretty decent and under 1000 euros.
    Thanks for the suggestion!
