The laptop my parents use is on its last legs, so I was thinking buying myself a new one and giving my current one to them.
Current laptop specs - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz 4 cores, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 4.0 GB, RAM 32GB, SSD 450GB, HDD 1TB, display 15.6''
Clearly I don't want an weaker one, what I am looking for 17.13'' display, processor i7 or higher with 8 cores, GPU 4GB minimum, SSD 1TB, RAM preferably 32GB, but I can work with less.
Some laptops I am eyeing.

Regarding RAM, my current laptop initially had 8 and I upgraded to 32, but I didn't throw away the old one. So I can put it back and use the 32 in the new laptop.
The last one does have the best specs, but it is rather expensive and I'm not sure the difference is worth it. Any advice?
