Having a Hard Time Choosing a Laptop

[linttRa]

Hi all! I'm having a hard time choosing a laptop for school. I have few options in mind but all of them are not the obvious "prefect one". I guess there isn't such thing below 2000€. I will be needing one for mainly coding, running VMs, some game development, and some light 3D rendering. So a good CPU with as many cores as possible and HT/SMT would be appreciated. Also at least 16Gb ram, and good battery life for long school days. Size should be from 14-15,6" for comfortable multitasking and also easy portability. Dedicated GPU isn't a big deal (I would rather have a better CPU). I hope you guys help me decide!

 

Here are the ones in my consideration (Region is Northern Europe):
Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 1 (4750U Pro, 16Gb, 512Gb) for 1660€

HP Omen 0806 15,6" (4600H, 16Gb, 512Gb) for 1550€
Lenovo ThinkPad E15 Gen 2 (4700U, 16Gb, 256Gb) for 1040€
Lenovo Ideapad L340 15,6" (i5-9300H, 16Gb single channel, 512Gb) for 900€
Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (4800HS, 16Gb, 512Gb) for 1680€ (this one is a very hard choice, because of it's expensive price and non existing front camera)

 

P.S. might be able to get Lenovo products for about 20% cheaper from the student store though I'm not 100% sure about that.

Get the T14 then.
