What ASUS ZenBook model suits your needs best?
I find it a bit unusual to ask, but I’m eager to start in IT and need a computer that can host a few virtual machines while I watch classes. I purchased this ZenBook

It seems to perform well, but I noticed another model that’s more powerful and has a better graphics card. I’m not sure if the improved GPU would be beneficial with the weaker CPU.
I also want to avoid limiting myself to just 16GB of RAM since I plan to run demanding tasks and play RuneScape on a separate monitor. Another choice could be a different device—something like a ThinkPad or Yoga in the same price range, or Best Buy has several great gaming laptops that support upgrading to 32GB of RAM.
Overall, the first ASUS model I mentioned has a solid CPU, but I’m not convinced about sticking with it right now.
My budget is roughly between $150 and $1600 if anyone has suggestions. I saw a 16” model on sale for $1500, but its CPU doesn’t seem to match what I have.
Thanks a lot!

Thank you for the friendly greeting! I'm planning to use it across all my cybersecurity courses and will run two virtual machines in addition to watching videos. I prefer Mac devices and want to ensure I have the best setup possible within my budget. I also came across information suggesting that cracking passwords requires a powerful GPU, but I'm unsure how often I'll need such resources for my work.
