Before giving any suggestions, better say what you will use the notebook for, or what "absolute nono's" you have.
As a 99% Linux user I am very content with a Lenovo T470 that I bought as 2nd hand machine, with 16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD and two docks, for less than 400 EUR. In general: If you don't have a very special application case that requires top-of-the row power in any aspect, better buy a used machine for one of the many nerds who think only the newest machines will be powerful enough.
The saved money might be better invested into periphery, like a 4k monitor.
Cheers,
Petra

Playing classical music on a wind controller hobby-wise - and tired of carrying around tons of paper sheets.
