Good Speakers, Oled Screen Good Keyboard, 32GB ram+

That's my 4 minimum requirements for a laptop nowadays. As I don't just work on my laptops, but also listen to music/podcasts and watch video content.

Good keyboard is my #1.

If that is good enough, I will put up with a bad screen.

Good speakers is very nice to have, I admit, but I do not do podcasts or videos. I do listen to the radio a lot, however.

I do not own a single laptop with 32GB RAM. That I don't care about. My desktop does, but the biggest laptops are 24GB, which was massively cheaper. Most are 16GB which I find enough for even quite intensive use.
