recommend me a laptop for work

I work in finance and accounting, sometimes compile analysis on large data sets in excel that can crash a crappy laptop.

Also I like 15.6 inch screens because of the number pad on the keyboard.

is this overkill?

is this sufficient? I would think I want more than 250 gb memory, but not sure, I won't be saving videos or pics on this laptop... if you bump it to 500 gb it goes up to $1029

what is better about the precision workstations over the Vostra line above? seems the same specs cost more

I'm not attached to Dell, just the first brand that came to mind.

no 10 key no care, really it's a box I carry around to attach to monitors, but in the event I don't connect to a keyboard, I need the number pad it's essential for my job

Personally, I'd get a thinkpad. Like a T series or a P series


the 15" T series looks like it has the number pad.
