Currently looking into buying a windows laptop for practice with excel for an upcoming internship. I already have a MacBook pro, so I don't want to spend too much money and likely won't be doing anything on it except excel. Does anybody have recommendations for something reasonably priced but can handle relatively complex excel models?

It's a general rule to not use a macbook for excel / modeling, so look for a lenovo thinkpad or maybe a dell computer. Are your "relatively complex models" for IB? In my experience, IB tends to not need a supercomputer to build "complex models." If we need datacuts of meaningful data sizes, our group typically outsources it to a third party, and I know many other banks follow this practice as well

Just buy the cheapest one you can buy + a keyboard with a number pad. U dont need a thinkpad or an xps j to practice modelling. Also if ur j practicing modelling no need to do complex modelling - ur gonna re-learn everything in your group anyways. Just memorizing shortcuts will be 10x helpful
