Editing laptop

ldr

Hello everyone

I'm looking to get new laptop max budget 1400 euro

What is your opinion on the one listed below?

My main use for it is video editing Vegas Pro.
Any alternative to it?
Preferably I want to purchase from Amazon.

Thank you

if colour accuracy is important then it's poor in that respect. but otherwise would do the job. or use a decent external monitor

the cpu is not brilliant either. an i5 h chip is better even

for better colour accuracy something like a dell xps 15 with 16gb ram would be a good option

most gaming laptops have poor colour accuracy.

a 6-core h cpu would be better for video processing times

Thank you for the replies.

I also looked at this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07Z889KMC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

better from a cpu point of view and very little difference in the gpu (2060 over 1660ti in laptops is about 5% diff as in the vast majority of cases the full wattage is not provided to the 2060)

tho the colour range / accuracy is very poor here.

you'll have to judge yourself how important that is.

Color space is limited at just 54 percent and 34 percent of sRGB and AdobeRGB, respectively, compared to >90 percent sRGB on pricier laptops like the Aorus 15, Dell G7 15 7590, or MSI's own GS series. This is not the laptop to use for any sort of professional graphics work.

check for a review for whatever you're looking at on notebookcheck.net

as I said gaming laptops normally have poor colour accuracy in terms of the screens. some do have decent ones but you need to check each individually.

I'm not a video editor but I imagine that is important especially if you are colour grading.

that's why most people looking for a laptop to do this on go for a "creator" laptop where you have a colour-accurate screen

Thank you for all the suggestions. Colour accuracy is not important for me. The editing I do is more cutting trimming and some video effects like green screen

then go for the 6-core intel machine I'd say.
