Hello everybody,
I am searching for a laptop that will be used for studying and later for work as an Internet security and bug bounty/searching programs. I have seen that some of the programs are quite heavy and occupy a lot of space. Also, I am not planning to change this laptop in the next 5 years.
I would like to keep the same or lower the price for the configuration. Any help will be really appreciated it. Thank you in advance!

Chassis & Display
Elimina Pro Series: 17.3" Matte QHD 165Hz sRGB 100% LED Widescreen (2560x1440)
(Any 17 or 17.3" will do)
Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™ i7 14 Core Processor 13700H (5.0GHz Turbo)
(Is there anything lower that will do the job in long term?)
Memory (RAM)
32GB PCS PRO SODIMM DDR4 3200MHz (2 x 16GB)
Graphics Card
NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 4060 - 8.0GB GDDR6 Video RAM - DirectX® 12.1

What do you need the GPU for? What programs?
Mostly will be used with tools include network scanners, penetration testers like these Nmap (Network Mapper), Nessus, Nikto, Kismet, NetStumbler, Acunetix, Netsparker, and Intruder, Nmap, Metasploit, Aircrack-Ng, etc.
Software like lnvicti, SQLMap,Wireshark etc.
Hope that helps.

None of those require a GPU though or am I missing something? Do you have a specific requirement for the GPU?

Firstly I have to build Forensics Lab using Kali Linux (4GB), Windows 2019 Server ISO (7GB), CSI Linux 2021.1.VM and to install Virtual Box Extension packs for Kali Linux.
Later I might have to instal more similar to these ones. But I don't know yet as I am not studying yet as I have to buy the laptop first.

Sorry, I'm not following, none of those require a GPU unless I'm mistaken? Do you have a specific use for a GPU?

No, I don't have to do any graphics,effects or video job with it. I am sorry, I am not able to give any more information, but this is all I know so far. Thank you for your help.
