Asking for Laptop Recommendation – Offline GPU (lemmy.ml)

I want to buy a laptop for a few purposes, not my main laptop:

Use it to run !localllama@sh.itjust.works stuff and Stable Diffusion.
Use it for games downloaded from repack sites. So for these two, it would need a decent GPU.
I would like to pull out the WiFi card. I have offline computers and online computers. No need for this to use the internet.
I would probably dual-boot Windows and Linux, or else have it boot Windows and use a live USB when I want Linux

Thank you all.

Money is no object.

This might be obvious to you, but dont buy HP laptops. I've twice been tempted by the cheap price, twice I've been burned. Cant wait till this current piece of shit croaks and I have an excuse to buy something stable and without endless amount of bloatware.
