My Plans for a new laptop

For a month or so I've been thinking about getting a new laptop. Originally, the plan was to save around $7k for a ThinkPad P15 with maxed out specs. (Probably an i9, 64GB RAM, and a Quadro, similar to the one my college gave me.) However, after putting more thought into it, I may instead get a laptop for around $2k, as its far more feasible and just makes more sense.
