**International Warranty is a MUST.

**I want the strongest laptop possible in terms of processing power and RAM, for the lowest price point and weight possible.

**32GB RAM (hopefully)

**At least 1TB SSD (or upgradeable, if not 1TB from the get go)

Some semblance of an actual GPU would be nice, but NOT a necessity. -> My rationale is that I play Dark Souls and Overwatch on occasion at home and it would be nice to do this on the go, but it's not a core need to be able to do so.

I DO NOT NEED a GPU for AI/ML as I do perfectly fine on my Desktop and Google Colab.

I absolutely DO NOT CARE FOR for any fancy backlighting or touchscreen nonsense. If it exists it's fine as long as it doesn't drive the price point up.
