I'm 19 years old and I'm nearing the end of my semester as a multimedia design student. Been using the HP Pavillion 15 inch with an i7-7500u and a 940mx with 16gb of RAM installed and also a 128gb SSD installed as a boot drive for windows and programs files. We bought for around 4100 bucks. During my first sem, the laptop handled my assignments really well and there's nothing I could complain about. After that, I noticed my laptop was lagging especially during my third semester where we had 3D animation and web design. It was then I found out that the i7 I had wasn't a real i7 well technically. These types of i7s which has the "U' at the end of the model number are low powered ultrabook processors and has fewer cores than the ones found in gaming laptops. Even the staff at the shop that I bought my laptop from said this laptop is good for video editing. To be sure, I compared mine to my cousins MSI ge63 apache pro which has the 960m and the i7 with 8gbs of ram. And his laptop was way faster than mine. Especially during render times in Adobe Premiere Pro.
. Need to have a good laptop for editing videos, photos and a little bit of gaming. The price point is around 4000 to 6000.
The i7-7500U is a low powered CPUs for battery/thermal performance, rather than straight out performance). That MSI laptop will likely to have a full-fledged/near-fledged i7 (CPUs with suffix of HQ/MQ/HK) and the performance will be far better than the low voltage ones (at a cost of battery life and thermal performance)
For RM4K-6K, you might want to look at this machine:

RM4726 and you can get this:
- Desktop CPU (i7 8700)
- GTX1050Ti (more than plenty for your use)
- IPS display with free professional color calibration
- Free thermal enhancement (most likely better thermal paste)
- Crucial MX500 250GB SSD (secondary drive)
- 970 EVO 250GB NVME SSD (primary boot drive)
- 8GB DDR4 RAM (may need to go 16GB if required)
No OS, but since you are a student, you can likely get Windows 10 Education for free (note that Windows 10 Education is closer to Windows 10 Enterprise rather than Pro in terms of feature set). Check with your uni here:
https://onthehub.comNote that that machine is manufactured by Clevo, a very well known barebone laptop maker (they usually don't sell those machines directly to consumers - usually you have to buy them from a reseller)
