Hey guys! I'm planning to get a new laptop within the next 2-3 weeks.

Budget - 5K - 6K (I'm ok if it's a few hundred ringgit above the budget.)

Usage - Gaming, Video Editing (Might be doing 4K work and possibly color grading videos. Other than that, it'll be 80% 1080P video work), Massive Excel spreadsheet.

Weight - 2.5kg or below

Battery - Around 2 - 4 hours max (I'll be doing some heavy gaming while i'm home so I'll most likely be plugged in, so maybe a nice small-ish plug charger. Video editing might be on the go. Might be doing work at cafes and presenting work at meeting rooms. Gaming at home while plugged in, Work on the go unplugged.)

Display - 15 inch, 1080P (I think I can connect to a 4k monitor for more detailed video work purposes in the future if I have one.)

Storage - 1TB SSD for now with it being upgradable in the future

RAM - 16GB with room for upgrade in the future

That's about it! Thank you!

Yup! I'll be fine with that! Dual channel is faster right?

Currently rotating between Sony Vegas 16 and Davinci Resolve Studio 16 for now. Will most likely be using Davinci Resolve exclusively once I have the new laptop. Yes, a decent display to work on the go. It doesn't have to be the greatest display. Anything that's decent enough for video editing and gaming. =)

I already have a 60hz 1080P external monitor enough for video work at home. I do have a desktop for work and gaming at home but it's showing it's age, so I'm getting a laptop first and upgrade my desktop later since I'm mostly out nowadays.
