The three aspects to consider when buying a laptop: Weight, Performance and Price.

Laptops that are cheaper and lighter weighted usually have a lower performance.

Laptops that have higher performance and lower price usually are heavy weighted.

Laptops that have higher performance and lighter weight are usually pricey.

You have to sacrifice one of the three.

I’d personally go for the Dell Precision 5520.

Cheap, high performance, moderate weighted.

P.S. (usually) heavier laptops are more upgradable and repairable so thats why I chose to sacrifice the weight for the other two…

No, keyboard quality, reliability, (calendar) longevity, robustness and repairability are more important considerations than any of those.

Dell Precision can be a good choice, true.

... the hinge on the lenovo legion 7 that my daughter's using for university broke after 2 years. Repair shop told me don't close it by pulling on just one corner, either pull from the midlle or both corners.

As a macbook owner, it didn't occur to me that she should go easy on the hinges ;)
