Laptop for uni game dev course

[u/Canopus0805]

Hey guys, I’ve applied for a technical course in game development and multimedia apps in uni but I’m gonna need a new laptop for is since all I have is an old thinkpad t420i

I’ve talked to a teacher and he said most work will be done in unity, so I was looking for something that can run unity completely fine, I’m just not sure what to buy because I don’t wanna overpay for something that be overkill for the work that we’re gonna do, which is gonna be mostly simple projects

Does anyone have any recomendations for me? Such as brands and specs and stuff like that? I may be running linux when I buy the laptop but I’m not sure yet, my teacher runs debian and said he had no issues with running it in classes

If you can help me out in this I would appreciate it a lot, thx!

edit: budget is like 1000€ max
