So I do computer repair for my church (volunteer) and as a side job. I do most of my work on the go. I'm looking to get a laptop towards the end of this year that would be able store a lot of data for temporary purposes (backing up someone's hard drive), carrying a lot of tools, ISOs, things that would be needed for computer repair. Given that time frame a LOT will change with CPUs and just the mobile department anyway, so current hardware suggestions are what I'm looking for.
I'm probably going to look for something large. Probably that can store at least 4 storage devices internally (some of these can be m.2 drives, but I'd like some 2.5" drives as well).
I've looked at Clevo laptops as the most probable. Some models house a full desktop CPU with a 980m GPU and seem to hold a lot of storage. I could supplement the storage with large external hard drives but I'd rather not carry too many of those around if I can help it.
So what I'm looking for is:
Lots of USB 3.0 (thunderbolt optional) connectivity
Fast CPU
Lots of memory
Lots of internal storage (at least two 2.5" bays)
Size isn't as much of a issue
Battery Life isn't as much of an issue
Weight isn't as much of an issue
