FWIW, here are my 2 cents.? You need to make an executive decision before anything else - choose to be completely inside the Microsoft Cloud or have the ability to create a local user account that doesn't require being in the MS cloud (and train their AI).

Win11 Pro, 24H2 will, if you have some command line skills, allow you to create a local user account while Win11 Home does not.??

Armed with that info, I have had good luck with HP Elitebooks, a lower end but business class laptop. You don't want a no name brand because support will be even less available than from HP.? Always buy the extended warranty because the newer notebooks are made like junk compared to their Win 10 counterparts unless you want to drop $1K+ on a top tier business laptop.

I've purchased several refurbished laptops from New Egg but never went for the extended warranty and only one, a HP Elitebook with 12 megs and a 512gB SSD, Win11 Pro had a problem- a defective camera. Since it was my wife's machine, I never tested the camera and when her Zoom meeting didn't work, it was two days past the warranty. I added an external camera which works OK but caveat emptor.? I will never buy another laptop, new or refurbished, without an extended warranty.??

Hope that this gives you something to chew on.? YMMV.?
