I will accept any used denomination totaling $1200

Not too sure if it’s been mentioned, and too lazy to scroll and check, but what about a Dell XPS 15? Ram is upgradeable to 64gb ddr5, and there is room to add an additional gen 4 NVMe. Given I bought a “satisfactory good” from BB a couple of months ago, it was practically brand new, and was only $1100 USD, which I imagine is less than $2000 CAD. A brand new one goes for about $1500, which I think is just about $2100 CAD, you may be able to catch a deal for one.

ETA: wow, I didn’t realize how much of a price difference is between the two countries
