Whichever is best suited for my needs. Not Apple.

13. What country do you live in? USA

14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.
Full keyboard with dedicated number pad, durable good quality build, at least 3 USB ports and a hdmi output, decent portability with a good quiet cooling system. Also if it comes with a very durable power cable that's a big bonus. Would carry it around in a backpack so if it can be nicely stored there would be great.
Are there kevlar woven laptop power cords?

Get a $300 laptop and add an SSD I don't understand why you even looked to spend +$800 on a normal laptop

More looking for specific models to look at that have the full keyboard, just there to set some budget limits, take something cheaper than those if it'll do the job.

This costs only $190. If you want something totally new just search for 15.6 inch laptops with new pentium or celeron processors, that is going to be plenty of stuff to work with

It said that it was a perk but not necessary.
Which seemed to produce different answers that what I was looking for.
Also do you know if anyone sells powder adapters with braided kevlar sleeves?
