Laptop for video editing

Hi Folks,

I need some advice around a laptop purchase.

I need a laptop that is good for video editing. I've been advised a macbook pro is the way to go but what I need seems to be landing at about €3k and have a 9 week delivery time.

I need to be able to connect multiple usb devices, memory cards and hdmi and have bluetooth connectivity for audio.

I'm looking at used ones on refurbed.ie as directly from Apple seems to be very expensive.

Is it worth considering a laptop that operates Microsoft or is it just going to give me issues with crashing like my current one does?

Something like this might suit but I don't believe I can connect a second screen via HDMI

Another example but I'm not 100% sure about what I'm looking for so advice needed

Also considering this as a lower budget alternative to going with a Macbook Pro, I know its a gaming laptop but it seems to have everything I'd need in terms of power, graphics card etc

Actually this one seems much better for not much more
