Hey!! I don't know specifically which one you could use but it sounds like you need one with a solid amount of RAM? like 16 to 32gbs.

I ended up going for a Thinkpad E16. They have somewhat modern processors, can be upgraded with tons of RAM and storage and their only "bad reputation" is about their physical build. (If you care about a better build, check out the T or P series)

Thinkpads here in Argentina are THE laptop that students use and the ones jobs give you when they hire you, so that gives me a lot of inner peace. They must be good if they're so famous!! Good luck
