If your a Apple ecosystem user then a macbook, a framework If your a windows user, or a system76 Laptop for linux. Macbooks are good for the ecosystem, if you can afford the 500gb version than good for you.
Frameworks are good if you want to upgrade to a 1tb or a better laptop CPU GPU screen ect in the future if you can follow upgrade instructions.
System76 laptops are affordable and come with Linux rather than windows without half the function keys not working. (And has better integration as it runs pop-os system76s Linux distro)
With a 2k budget you basicly can buy anything and maybe be specific based on OS preference, brand preference, and what your gonna use the laptop for. (E.g my laptop is >200ยฃ is only used for web browsing and word processing therefore its a Linux machine with low end specs from lenovo)
