Laptop for Photo and Video Editing - Budget $2,500

Currently using a Dell XPS13 from 6+ years ago, and it really struggles with even scrolling through raw files in LR. As I get more into photography and videography I am looking for something that will handle the loads a bit better.

It's been a while since I have shopped for a PC and previously didn't have specific requirements. Hoping someone has more experience here and can make a recommendation.

Probably looking at max $2-$2.5K (considering typical sale prices).

My current laptop is a 2-in-1 that converts to a tablet, and I do use this a bit. Would be a good feature to have.

Not keen on Mac and want to stick with Windows options.

Looking for something light and portable, in a 14-15 inch size. Decent battery life. Screen with colour accuracy. And of course, grunty enough (RAM, GPU, CPU) to handle demanding graphics processing.

  • Do you exclusively use LR?

  • maybe buy a sff or tiny pc and use your laptop to remote desktop into it
