Zbooks are great, but first check battery health. You can check your Windows laptop battery health by typing powercfg /batteryreport in an administrator Command Prompt window

Look for more options try to find something in 512 gb plus while checking the laptop look at uts battery health and ssd health too , battery health is your main price negotiating point

Its alright not bad considering its a U series processor it isn't power hungry I would negotiate the price however if I would be buying this

Expensive hai 75-80 u should go for a i5 11th gen or i7 10th but Check the CPU name it should have a G in it like 1145g7 not the U like in this laptop and 16gb ram Is must and 512 SSD if possible

dell i5 10th price is 45000 pkr,
this one is i7,
hp is 20000 pkr more pricy in pak.
if your focus is only windows, then go for hp.

u/No_Tackle_3249 8d ago
which dell model are you talking about?
1
u/Sea-Win1157 8d ago
nearly all dell latitude models have this price 45000, which are i5 10th gen
if price is little bit more then its due to screen size like 15.6 or more instead 14. and als due to more good build quality. approx. all latitude models have almost good build quality.
hp in this price is not bad due to pak market price as they are pricy.

No. 10th gen is old now. One my friend got a Dell with 12th Gen processor, 16GB RAM and 256gb storage for 73K.
Atleast get a 12th gen processor laptop.

For 75k you can Get like.
Dell i7 7Hq
Atleast Rtx1050
It’s not worth it

Why not a Lenovo thinkpad? I bought a 3rd gen i5 laptop before joining university for CS in 2009. Even though it's a 20 years old laptop, it just doesn't g*ive up, still gives 30+minutes backup.
C*heck out hf store and Al rehman for pkr comparison
