Also requirement: Great matte display. Windows. Powerful video card is not needed.
I don't want to spend 1,5K $ on a new one, as this laptop will be for traveling, so it can break, scratch or get stolen.
That is why I'm looking for an older premium class model.
Do you know a good model?
I bought a refurbished XPS 13" (top of the line, insanely high resolution) for a $950, when it would have been over $2k new. The seller was the.laptop.shop[1]. I had an issue with the screen, but they gave me a warranty with the laptop, so the next day I had a Dell repairman come to my house and repair the screen right in my kitchen. I didn't spend a dime.
All in all, my best experience buying a computer in my life.
