All work, no fun laptop + peripherals

[zeeleny]

Hello guys, 

 

I recently found myself to be hooked on gaming more than its healthy, so Ill be swapping places of where I spend time and what I spend time on. 

Therefore I will be swapping to a laptop. I currently have Lenovo 510S with Linux Mint, but as I do alot of calculus for my job, numeric keypad is a must and this laptop must be replaced.

 

I am looking for something >1000€. Most of my work consists of multitasking and opening 100000 tabs in chrome/firefox (web development / ecommerce management ).

 

Why am I writing here? I can pretty much narrow down my specs myself, but I have zero experience with reviews when it comes to thermals, whats the optimum graphics card etc etc...

 

I was mostly looking for 12gb ram and more, have no clue if dedicated graphics is neccesary (I will be doing some photoshop / illustrator work aswell).

Also Id like to ask if there is like a "parental lock" to block certain programs from launching (namely steam...), I can handle self exclusion from twitch or youtube via plugins myself.

 

When it comes to peripherals, pretty much mouse that can work on any surface will do.

 

Thank you very much for ideas and inputs!

 

*edit after looking at several posts: Buying from central europe, weight is not important. I am pretty much looking for a model name, will most likely source it from local dealers as Ill be buying it on company expenses.

Any preference on weight, battery life and display size? Mind low sRGB display and non-upgradeable RAM? Any links of online stores?

Stores are not an issue, as I posted, I will weasel out the recommended model from somewhere. Weight is not important, battery and display size are not important aswell. Looking for good thermals, loads of ram but preferably IPS display.

Review says its full plastic body.
