Everyday laptop with light gaming up to 1000 – for home

private use

1.1. Do you want to use the laptop primarily mobile or stationary? How mobile should the laptop be? Should it be a 2-in-1 notebook/convertible?
The laptop is 95% used at home and is an addition to a powerful stationary PC. Therefore, it is almost always operated without an additional monitor, etc. without convertible

1.2. If you want to play games: what games? What level of detail?
Path of Exile and World of Warcraft. A medium level of detail at 60 FPS is sufficient. For more demanding games, there is still the PC.

1.3. Music/image/video editing or CAD: which software? Professional or hobbyist?
No

2. How big should the screen be? Do you want a touch screen or a particularly high display quality?
15-inch matte screen. A good shine would be important. No touch screen.
1080p resolution is perfectly adequate.

3. How long should the battery last?
Without games, only with Office applications or YouTube 8h.

4. What operating system do you want to use? Is there a license? Does the laptop already have an operating system pre-installed? Do you get Windows through college?
It will install Windows 11, it does not need to be pre-installed and it is not included in the cost.

5. Do you have any wishes regarding design, processing quality, material or colour?
No “gamer” look with colorful logos on the casing. It shouldn’t feel cheap.

6. Are there any other special requirements that were not asked about? Big hard drive? numeric keyboard? keyboard backlight? pen holder? Docking via USB-C/Thunderbolt 3? CD/DVD drive? Discounts (educational)? Service and warranty? maintenance options? SD card reader?
I have to:
numeric keyboard
At least 2 USB A ports

Not too heavy (<= 2.4kg)

Nice to have:
keyboard backlight
docking option

7. How much money are you willing to spend? Is buying used an option?
about €1000. just buy new

The laptop should only be used flexibly in the house to keep an eye on the children.
