Looking for a workstation laptop for my dad

[rocketbagel]

Here are the things he wants:

500gb ssd

at least 500gb hdd (or empty 2.5” slot)

10 key keyboard

he doesn’t have much use for a trackpad

i7 8th gen

1070 or greater

Centered keyboard 

Backlit keyboard (not necessarily flashy, just visible in the dark)

has to be 17”

What's a 10 key keyboard? You're unlikely to find a laptop without a trackpad.

You should expand on what he does. For example, why does he need a 1070? That's not a workstation. That's a gaming laptop.

I think he means with a Numpad.

The P72 from Lenovo should work nicely for your dad

Location? Budget? Need Quadro? Any preference on weight and battery life?

Numpad and centered keyboard don't come together
