$2000 only buys the absolute base model 14”, so it doesn’t give you much to play with.

If you are expecting to buy a laptop & accessories out of that, you’re going to struggle :/

That said, I always recommend a good external monitor, a comfortable keyboard and mouse/trackball/touchpad, and a good chair.

The M1 MacBook Pros are commonly on sale these days. I got a 16" recently for $2099 ($400 off) at Best Buy
