Thank you very much for your recommendations. I just want to clarify that €1000 is just a maximum limit, and I don't intend to buy such a high-end computer considering that I already have one at home, and I'll most likely install Linux on it. I also don't plan on using it for gaming. However, I will still look into the various processor options available for the Lenovo model, as they seem interesting. Feel free to provide any further recommendations based on this additional information.
