it's 2022, still got companies rely work on physical performance? now all VM d,

just use thin client and everything cloud performance in VM, 16/32 threads, with 16/32GRam. or more if they subs higher package.

noneed worry of any antivirus/malware, if infected also, they wiped out your profile.

its on the cloud;
The way the entire project on miro looks like a Hawaiian pizza, all the comments and few hundred screens in there, only MBP or 32GB-windows can load.

Firm ok with paying company wide license, flat fee
but not ok with expensive per head of Figma

that's why miro is used..
but its super taxing on the laptop.

All my family laptop or desktops are refurbished.

Just one advice.

You have to see and test the thing yourself...don't buy online unless they give a one to one exchange or will repair it free.
It will be more expensive than online, you you get is peace of mind

Cos my last laptop, I wanted to buy online, but decided to go to shop, first one had a bulging battery, second one unresponsive keyboard for certain keys, then another one had speaker cracking sound, end up the shop told the technician to use all the parts from the rejected laptop and do one good one for me.
Yes, paid more, but satisfied.

Anyway, regarding the core processor, 6th gen should be OK. But important is 16gb RAM and SSD.
SSD also just get the Crucial MX500. Please don't get el-cheapo SSD
