laptop Laptop recommendations

[Flipp3rix]

With a budget <€700, which laptop do you recommend for virtualization and programming, also taking Black Friday into account? I will use Linux to use Blender and daVinciResolve and some steam games. What do you recommend? Which CPUs should I take into consideration and above all is an IGPU okay these days? Also, I purchased from Amazon it I would need to be able to expand RAM and have at least 2 separate disks...

Best value is gonna be black friday/cyber monday as you mentioned, as for what specific laptops to recommend we can't say because we don't know what deals specifically are going to be available.
Usually a gaming laptop that's normally ~1000+ discounted to 700 is going to be the best value though.

If you game at all it's probably gonna be a problem, although yes they've improved in recent years. But your budget can fit a laptop with a discrete card so it's not worth considering.

I don't suggest linux gaming, Linux gamers are cheaters and will "...infect(ed) a fair amount of players’ games. " according to EA.

I don't think this discussion has much to do with my main needs...
