Thinkpad E590
CPU: 1.8GHz i7-8565U, Turbo Boost up to ~2GHz ⬅️ (not that it's extremely powerful)
RAM: 32 GB DDR4 2400MHz ⬅️
GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 620
Disk: 512 GB SSD ⬅️
OS: dual boot Windows 10 and Manjaro Linux
Battery: lasts about 5-6 hours ⬅️

It's a solid laptop for its price, but not a gaming machine by any means. While it's more of a low-end one it does the job and doesn't overheat too much (expect perhaps when IntelliJ is doing its "indexing").

I've been deciding between this one and some other gaming laptop, but have choosen the Thinkpad (not just because I'm not a gamer but my first laptop was a Thinkpad T40 and so far I've never had any bad experience with Thinkpads).

By the way, 32 gigabytes of RAM get used up pretty quickly if you run some virtual machines and/or IDEs.
