Please do not say “choose the one you like”. I dont want to choose something because I like. I want to rationally choose.

My background: I’m a physics student. I’ll use it for programming, editing and writing documents, and a lot of work on the go or on the public transport. I have a budget around 1000€. I would like to have the best for my purpose. Idc about looks or if its agrandma or a teenager. As long as its performing the best for the price. I tend to use it for the next 6 years without any problem.
