Tough decision, but luckily I think the playing field has evened somewhat in the past several years. It is kind of hard to go wrong if you carefully look at the specs, pull up some independent reviews, etc. This applies to the major brands like Dell, Acer, Asus, HP, Apple (you only have one vendor in that case of course), Toshiba (but I would not buy them on principle - decades ago they violated "export" regulations relating to military tech).
The only "unusual" thing I would say is, if at all possible, physically touch/test the keyboard of any laptop you are considering. That might be hard to do in the online ordering nowadays, but at least try to find reviews that specifically include keyboard evaluations. Keyboards that have keys popping off are a huge frustration to me. Plus if there is too much of a mushy feel, or odd feel, it affects my typing speed, etc.
I have a Dell Alien - good performance, but noise that can't be controlled (I think they may have addressed this issue in later Alien models), but also heavy.
My daughter got a Predator (Asus I think) - she is pursuing a degree in graphic animation, etc and it performs great, not a lot of noise, and quite light in my opinion.
I'm thinking about an Origin laptop for my next one (but still a ways off to buy) - impressive specs, generally good reviews, lots of customizing available. But expensive and not sure the brand is tried and true as the big names.

A Latitude 6440. No complaints.

Keyboard is key to me. If I am required to press func+key to get home or end I look for another laptop.
I'm currently using an HP Spectre. I've always enjoyed laptops with the 10-key, but opted for this light 2-in-1 system this time. I found I needed to reduce the 4K display to 2048*1152 instead of using the percentage to work in the VFP IDE. 4k at 100% to remote into the office desktop. It's tiny but clear text.
And if at all possible feel the keyboard response to determine if you will be good with it.

Raspberry Pi? Got two, one as a file server, one for IOT development. Works great! No General Protection Failures, no blue screens. Easy updates. Sips power. Real pretty game of tiles, Vince tells me. Also MariaDB, Postgres, Apache, DNS, VNC, RDP and all the other acronyms.
Chromebook? Slick, light, keeps itself update. Malware-resistant, snappy browsing. Low power. High compatibility. Excellent streaming machine. No GPFs.
If you just gotta run WIndows, you might want to rethink your career decisions, but in that case, Lattitude or ThinkPad.

I was a long time Dell Latitude fan, but the current series is nowhere as useful as the 55 / 65 series.
Nowadays I'm quite happy with my Microsoft Surface Book. You can tear it apart to be only a Tablet, or use it as a regular Laptop. Not exactly on the cheaper side of products, but very handy. Very good Graphicscard (internal resolution is 3000x2000), and together with the Surface Dock I'm using it on a 40 inch monitor with 4k (3840*2160 pixels).
Keyboard is very good, also the mechanical endurance is top. 16Gb RAM should be enuf, same with the builtin SD (512Gb or 1Tb). The Pen is optional, I use it only sometimes for quick drawings (maybe I'm too old for getting an artist here)
