Looking for notebook for developers, virtual machines, cloud

Hello,

I hope there are some people here who can help me with the setup and make a recommendation. I need a notebook (because of customer meetings) that has to do a lot.

Windows operating system
RAM at least 32 GB, better slot with option to 64 GB
SSD disk with > 500 GB
2 monitors must to be possible (HDMI + USB C, at least 1 USB port and another USB C for external HDD)
Fast processor


How I work

I work with Windows but I always have at least 2 virtual Linux machines running with me (via Hyper V) with Linux Mint. In addition, a complete Visual Studio Code on the Windows with AWS and Google Cloud connection and Docker containers.

So I need RAM and computing power. Budget around 1264,15 to 1685,53 pound sterling.


Thanks
That's a pretty nice budget, and actually makes finding the right labtop fairly easy.

For the high end of your budget, I'd recommend: https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-ROG-Zephyrus...095RNV1CG/
For the low end of your budget, I'd recommend: https://www.amazon.com/Gaming-Entertainm...09BFW67LG/

Each one has the best CPU (IMO), and a top-of-the-line RTX GPU, plenty of RAM, and great reviews (no complaints of cooling issues).
One issue you might run into is the GPU, if you plan on dual-booting Linux or making it your host OS, then you'll want an AMD GPU.
If you decide to go for the AMD GPU, here is one option for that:
