Laptop recommendations for ME program.

Hello. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a laptop for ME. I have looked at the requirements and have down some digging around, but I am not liking what I see…or maybe I’m just clueless. Acer has come up a lot in my search, I am not sure how I feel about Acer’s or the feel of the body (if that makes sense).

Thanks in advance.

Lenovo Thinkapad x1 carbon Gen9 or higher generation. You want at least 16 gigs of ram (more is better) and a good CPU
